LETTER: Access to healthy, humane food helps address concern about farm animal welfare
Issue date: 4/16/08 Section: News
EDITOR: It's great news that Simon's Rock students will be able to enjoy more healthy and humane foods on campus ("Bookstore provides vegan, vegetarian, organic foods," April 9.) Besides advantages for human health and the environment, vegetarian foods also address people's growing concerns about farm animal welfare.
Across the country, students are objecting to factory farms due to their cruelty. These massive operations routinely cram egg-laying hens into tiny battery cages, confine female breeding pigs in restrictive metal crates, and tether veal calves in crates that barely allow movement.
Students can learn more about reducing animal suffering through our food choices at humanesociety.org.
