Foot & mouth has nothing to do with factory farming... maybe you've been eating too many horses. Pretty pictures, though.

I followed your link to ProRodeo and found a discussion of animal welfare vs. animal rights, which included the following statement: <<Many organizations who in the past have been considered animal welfare organizations have made the move towards animal rights. The Humane Society of the United States has shifted resources from serving animals directly to educational programs against farming, fur wearing, fishing, hunting, animals in entertainment and other staples of American life. >> I've been involved in animal welfare activities for a long time and have not observed any such change in the Humane Society. I checked their web site and couldn't find anything there. Do you have any knowledge of the basis of the ProRodeo's assertion? Karen
