“Contemporary Animal Issues” course a good idea

Commentary

There is a great deal of misinformation regarding livestock production targeting today’s American consumer. I was so pleased to receive a news release from the University of Illinois promoting a new course titled “Contemporary Animal Issues.”

U of I associate professor in animal sciences Janeen Salak-Johnson will explore a new and increasingly important side of those sciences, including such topics as animal well-being, animal-environment interactions, domestication of animals and contributions to human welfare, biotechnology, food safety, and societal and economic impacts of animal production.

I know there are other schools offering similar courses. . .and I think that is a pretty good idea.
