ANIMAL WELFARE
Format: Short Presentation
Description: This program looks at the problem we face today, which is not one of ethics in the use of animals for the production of food and fiber, but rather it is a problem of affluence within the general public and their lack of understanding of production agriculture. The terms used by animal rights groups are defined and interpreted within the context of this program. The development of this movement is discussed and who is involved in the issue now.
