The News's April 7, 2003, edition badmouthed Gary Yourofsky of People
for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and J.P. Goodwin of the Humane Society of
the United States. Then it compared with Goodwin (to animal-exploitation
promoters, that is bad!) a statement from a Cantor e-mail that had circulated on
some listservs announcing RPA's 10,000 Years Is Enough campaign and factsheet,
and provided the factsheet's text. (See our 10,000 Years Is Enough campaign
page for the factsheet.) Thank you, Gamefowl News!
Gamefowl News "My goal is the abolition of all animal agriculture" (sic) A new group which
has named itself Responsible Policies for Animals, Inc. (RPA) is calling for
sweeping changes in how animals are treated. Rather than focusing on grassroots efforts within the masses, the
organization is going right to the nation's decision makers.
RPA's motto is "Educating Leaders for a Humane Future," and their organizers
say it is their intent to show leaders how to institute responsible policies for
animals that also benefit people and ecosystems.
With their current campaign, the group is asking universities, like Cornell,
to totally revamp their animal science education courses.
"Systems are set up so that billions of animals each year live extremely
short lives and are never treated humanely," said David Cantor, executive
director and president of RPA.
"I don't see much of a way that could change as long as schools are teaching
people to run those systems that have animals enslaved," he said.
The campaign is called "10,000 Years is Enough," and Cantor said its purpose
is to gradually end animal agriculture classes at institutions of higher
learning. The courses, according to RPA, are dated and no longer needed. <snip> Source: http://www.anc.org/farm/farm_article.cfm?identifier=2004_0217_rpa
