I came across these billboards that have been put in place by the Farm Animal Council of Saskatchewan (FACS). I have talked a lot about what U.S. agriculture groups are doing to tell agriculture's story. Sometimes I feel like Canadians aren't as aware of what animal rights groups are capable of, and where our industry may be headed. I really commend the FACS and the livestock associations they have worked with, in being proactive.
We need consumers to know what a farmer and rancher looks like. They trust us, we just have to talk to them.
The FACS has a lot of good resources on their website that I would encourage you to check out.
Thanks for sharing, Crystal!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic! I agree with Laura, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies. I was really excited to see these billboards. Maybe we can get some in Alberta?
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous campaign and I'm glad there's a fairly public show. I'd love to see these become more popular, even on this side of the border.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure folks here in Illinois could use a reminder that the corn, bean, wheat, pumpkin, potato, gladiolus, and barley fields they're surrounded by are actually the product of someone's blood sweat and tears.
And I think just about everyone could use a reminder of the fact that food, especially meat, eggs, and milk, don't just come from a store.
Kudos to you, northern neighbors!
