SPEAK AT A HEARING ABOUT FACTORY FARMING
Speak at a hearing on factory farming
The National Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production is holding a series of public hearings around the country on factory farming. The task of the Commission, an independent entity launched by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, is to examine the impact of factory farming on public health, the environment, rural areas, and animal welfare. Its final report and recommendations could be very influential, so it is important for the Commission to hear from family farmers, citizens in communities affected by factory farming, and others who have particular knowledge of the issues.
