We recently received the following announcement from the farm animal protection organization Farm Sanctuary. We would encourage you not only to attend the presentation, but also to share your reactions with us, either here or on our Facebook page:
Is it ethically justifiable to use animals as food? Do factory farming practices reflect mainstream American values? Can your students articulate their beliefs on animal rights?
On Monday Feb. 22 at 7 pm, Gene Baur, president and co-founder of Farm Sanctuary, will speak in Kern room 112, on "Changing Hearts and Minds About Animals and Food." I encourage you and your students to attend this presentation and discussion which will challenge us to examine our values on these important topics.
