There is NO transparency in the animal agriculture industry, a system that relentlessly pursues “ag-gag” to criminalize people who expose animal cruelty, and that purposefully deceives (willfully ignorant) people with anthropomorphized advertisements depicting animals dancing in classrooms, happy to to go to birthday parties, and singing in pastoral splendor, an absolute farce compared to the abject suffering and violence animals are forced to endure continuously: animals are burned, buried, and boiled ALIVE while anag pretends they act in “humane” manners, and other people pretend that human “intellectual superiority” believing such obvious lies, makes it ok.

Like the immoral science-rejectors traumatized by wearing masks to protect people around them, anag is threatened by decency and ethics and will spin any tale to quash exposure.

Animals are bred to be dead, to pretend an industry based on profitable suffering and violence is somehow acting in the best interests of those they kill, for those they kill for, is lunacy. Trillions of unwilling animals die yearly, not a single one is given the opportunity to defend his/her life, it’s evil that people who can choose to NOT cause such rampant cruelty won’t defend them either.

Why must such a small group of people, vegans, have to convince other people that causing less harm is better than causing more? Why do you selfishly choose transient taste preference over the life of the vulnerable and defenseless? SL

An EU meat industry lobby giant has reportedly ‘waged a campaign’ against a strategy aimed at creating a more environmentally-friendly food system.

Copa-Cogeca reportedly spent a staggering €1.7m on plans to influence MEPs, according to investigative journalism organization EU Observer.

But the group claims it fully supports the program and claims that the leak is a ‘deliberate attempt to trigger a media backlash’.

Meat industry leak

Copa-Cogeca identifies itself as the ‘strongest’ interest cooperative of European farmers.

The document leaked to the media this week includes plans to maintain the agriculture industry. And, according to EU Observer, it involves tactics to ‘influence’ political debate.

This is with regard to the Farm to Fork strategy, which is a plan to ‘redesign’ the food system and make it more sustainable as part of the European Green Deal.

Moreover, it was created to mitigate climate breakdown and ‘adapt’ to its impacts, as well as promoting fair trade.

But Copa-Cogeca calls for the vote on the strategy, penciled for October 21, to be delayed by a fortnight. It told MEPs this is to ensure a public debate can take place. And, that it’s ‘critical’ for communication strategies, based on a number of unnamed studies.

The delay will create a ‘richer debate’, says Copa-Cogeca.

Branded ‘disinformation’ campaign

But European Environmental Bureau’s Célia Nyssens told the news outlet the lobby group has ‘orchestrated a massive disinformation campaign to undermine the EU’s sustainable food goals’.

Nyssens added: “They are shamelessly picking and choosing the studies and within those studies the specific findings, which fit their agenda in order to convince MEPs to reject the EU Farm to Fork targets, which are direly needed to put agriculture on a sustainable path.”

Following the leak, Copa-Cogeca issued a statement in response.

It said there is ‘nothing’ problematic in the document, and that the process is the norm in EU affairs.

Additionally, it said it ‘fully supports’ the Farm to Fork strategy. And, is merely asking for a full assessment of its impacts.

‘We consider it normal that all opinions can and should be expressed on a subject as important as the future of our food system’, the statement reads.

It concludes: “We are well aware that this leak is a deliberate attempt to trigger a media backlash. Just as we start speaking of the potential impacts of the Farm to Fork strategy for the first time. 

“The current discussion shows the desperate need for public data on the subject.”
