“We just have to keep explaining the facts”
In an effort to help protect agriculture, Forrest Lucas of Lucas Oil Company started Protect the Harvest in 2010. Brian Klippenstein is Executive Director of the organization which works to protect agriculture from the numerous attempts to limit or even eliminate some aspects of it. One of the biggest tools of those anti-animal agriculture efforts is the ballot initiative; Klippenstein says good information is the best way to counter those efforts. He points to the recent defeat of a GMO labeling attempt in Washington State as an example of how once people get the whole story, they will make the right decision. He says the critical point that needs to be made is the growing need for affordable food, “We just have to keep explaining the facts.”

If the industry cared about the animals except for profit and did not use abusive practices and think the public did not have a right to know what was in the food products,where they came from,and how the living things where raised and killed.
Then Humane Society’s and as you call then fringe fanatics would have no reason to be up in arms and calling attention to this industry.
Open door,tranparency,fredom of information,you know all the things people have a right to see and know.
If every things are not harmful to persons who consume them and no animals suffer from production and slaughtering then what are you against?
