The animal ag community is encouraged to be aware of key activist trends including “undercover videos,” marketing campaigns targeting human emotion, and legislative pressure.
COVID-19 isn’t the only thing I would have liked to leave behind in 2020. Animal-rights activist attacks also rise to the top of my list. Animal-rights activists never miss an opportunity to kick animal agriculture when its down, and the Coronavirus pandemic was no exception.
Religion and food go together like Easter and ham or Thanksgiving and turkey, but vegan activist groups are spinning scripture to persuade churchgoers to leave meat off their plate not just at every holiday, but at every meal.
As the animal-rights movement becomes more aggressive, everyone in the supply chain needs to work together to remain focused on our goal: providing a safe and abundant food supply.
This summer, the dairy industry was dealt a hard hand with animal rights groups releasing multiple videos taken by "undercover" animal-rights activists employed on farms in Indiana, Nebraska and Texas.
Summer vacations are on everyone's minds, but one vacation you don't want to take is a vacation from plant security. Animal rights activists don’t take a break from activism, so plants shouldn't take a break from security.
