The Sierra Club of Southeastern Pennsylvania presents
Factory Farms versus Sustainable Agriculture
Monday, April 28, 6:45 PM The Free Library of Philadelphia, 19th and Vine Streets, 4th Floor
Davis Cantor, founder of Responsible Policies for Animals, will talk about the inhumanity of factory farms and the harm they do to the environment. Human use & destruction of other animals, though practical for some humans for the short term, is a source of the biggest human problems and inestimable human and nonhuman suffering. It is inhumane regardless of intentions or degree of mistreatment in particular instances. Its continuation isn't the fault of people raising animals for food. The problem is that nonhuman animals have no legal rights.
Farmer Brian Moyer, Vice President of the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture, will talk about ways to grow food that are both humane and harmless to the environment. Dr. Martin Luther King would use what he called "the fierce urgency of now" as a call to action during the civil rights struggle. Now, that same urgency is needed to protect our civil rights to have a safe, healthy food system and sustainable family farms are the answer.
