Ep6: Policy Demands for Animal Liberation
There are enough people who care about animals to create a voting bloc and make political demands.
episode notes:
See earlier episode's show notes, particularly "Meat Eating is Climate Change Denial" for links to the studies showing that animal agriculture must be addressed if climate change is to be addressed.
Examples of possible effective policies:
Denmark Carbon Tax on Animal Ag
Peter Lehner at Earth Justice - does work on changing the farm bill
School Boards - school lunches, curricula, and so on
Call your congressperson about the farm bill, or any other issue that effects animals - use this link to find contact info
