Nebraska ag leader reacts to McDonald’s announcement

Pete McClymont is the president of a Nebraska livestock coalition called We Support Agriculture.  The group was formed in 2011 to increase public awareness of the advantages of modern livestock production systems and threats posed by radical animal rights organizations.

At the Nebraska Governor’s Ag Conference in Kearney, we asked McClymont for his thoughts on the recent joint announcement by McDonald’s and The Humane Society of the United States in regards to gestation stalls in pork production—as well as the bill in Congress that would dictate the size of cages for egg-laying hens. 

McClymont says those are “disappointing” developments.
