“I was recently given a wake-up call”
– Beef Magazine, Aug. 23, 2016
I was recently given a wake-up call about the very real threat of the animal rights agenda after I read

detailing their observations from the Animal Rights National Conference, which was held in early July in Los Angeles, Calif. . . . “Animal rights activist organizations have historically targeted
large-scale, modern operations (calling them ‘factory farms’), but several conference speakers urged attendees to broaden their scope. Karen
Davis, founder and president of United Poultry Concerns, told the audience to target the industry as a whole, suggesting they “stop saying
‘stop factory farming’ and say ‘stop all animal farming.’’’

With no illusions about the enormous difficulties of animal activism and the plight of animals on the planet, I am heartened by the progress for animals
expressed in this Interview including the fact that the progressive community is starting to show a more active concern for and interest in animals and
their situation. I hope so. Thank you for publishing this worthwhile discussion.
