Farmer Protest

Farmers protest labor bill currently in front of state senate.




Here is another story.




Update*** We need to get all over this one. Bank of America Partners with HSUS
There is a form letter you can use to let them know what you think about them joining such an enemy of animal agriculture.

    Sorry to hear of this difficult situation. Sign me: happy to be a very small farmer, with no employees.

    B of A should be forced to eat tofu for a solid month.

    Jeanelle, we hire no help either, but it really makes me mad when they bring in activists from places like NYC and California to influence policy in rural upstate NY. People who actually work on local farms are screaming because they know they will lose rather than gain from this bill

    Jan...plain tofu.

    I'll send my letter to B of A.
    And, that protest happened on my stretch of the thruway. I feel a little famous.
    LOL.
