State by State, Help End the Teaching of Cruel and Polluting Factory Farming!
From March
31 to May 8, 2003, RPA sent a letter
and RPA's factsheet 10,000
Years Is Enough: Time To Stop Teaching
Animal Agriculture
to the leaders of the 50 states' main
land-grant universities.
We explained
that all animal-industry and feedcrop
jobs for which their schools prepare
students amount to support for horrible
factory-farming practices that make
animals miserable, waste and contaminate
soil and water, and harm human health.
We asked them to work with RPA to
end the teaching of animal agriculture,
which is nothing like it was in
1862 when Congress first doled out
public land to start the land-grant
universities.
As of
June 2003, several universities
had replied. Their answers did not
address any of the problems raised
in RPA's letter and factsheet. Their
answers and the other universities'
silence speak volumes about the
universities' inability to defend
the teaching of animal agriculture.
That was only the beginning of the
discussion, though! RPA will work
long and hard to end the teaching
of animal agriculture that is corporate
welfare for cruel animal industries!
Please
see the list below and write to
the university in your state, the
university you attended (if any),
universities you would consider
applying to or sending your kids
to if they would stop teaching animal
agriculture. Any letter you send
will help: Amazing as it may seem,
some of the university presidents
appear to be unaware of the huge
animal-agribusiness problems! We'll
be interested in any replies you
may receive.
