Ask questions about your food

Crystal Mackay, Ontario Farm Animal Council, Guelph; The Hamilton Spectator, 2007.01.17; Letter to the Editor

Pork Producer Defends Industry

BY MARY-ANN HENDRIKX, STRATHROY; The London Free Press, 10 Jun 2003

Dear Editor,
As a pork producer, I am ticked at the amount of misinformation and negativity that surrounds any news of my industry. Pigs had absolutely nothing to do with the Walkerton tragedy, yet people continue to link the two, and papers continue to print these quotes as if they have truth to them.
