D26>Lancast»r Fanning Saturday, May 5,1990 HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.) — The Pennsylvania State Grange has committed financial support to the Animal Industry Foundation to aid in its efforts to educate on the advantages and humaneness of modem-day ani mal husbandry. The AIF works to counteract the strong efforts of animal rights organizations, some of which have spent millions of dollars to plead their case. The AIF raised and spent just over $200,000 in speaking out on behalf of the agri cultural sector. AlF’s efforts on behalf of ani mal agriculture include: • Development of a consumer education video in which farmers talk about what they do, how well they do it, and how they feel when they are called “cruel.” The video serves as an educational tool for nonagricultural audiences and is a valuable training tool. • Nearly 200,000 copies of “Animal Agriculture: Myths and Facts” the only consumer oriented publication that uses facts to counteract animal rightists accusations about livestock and poultry production. • “Farm and Food Bytes: Ani- MANURE HANDLING EQUIPMENT COMMERCIAL TRAIL R PUMP 9 Compare the clean look, the midship agitator, the removable band impellor housing, the rectangular transition tube from impellor to agitator nozzle, the full hydraulic control mounted on a con venient 3 pt. hitch bracket and other new design features.

Grange Advocates Animal Welfare mal Agriculture,” which is used in elementary schools in more than 30 states. The grange intends to help AIF educate the public on how modem livestock and poultry husbandry benefit man, animals, and the planet. During recent Grange Week activities, a Forest County fur far mer told members of the Pennsyl vania State Grange that there is a dire need to educate the public on the difference between animal welfare supporters and animal rights groups. Those advocating animal wel fare strive to provide animals with good living conditions, nutrition and care, said Stevette Woods, eastern regional director for Fur- Farm Animal Welfare Coalition Ltd. And animal welfare supporters believe people have the right to use animals in a responsible way. Woods said. She noted that most farmers are animal welfare supporters, who raise livestock and other animals responsibly and conscientiously. However, animal rights groups want legislation to prohibit any use of animals for fur, meat, dairy. M-JEQInI Specialist In Available in 2300, 2800, 3300 and 3750/4000 gallon capacity sizes.
