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.
