Paul Verkley has been working on environmental
problems and agriculture for a decade, including
a hectic past year in the post -Walkerton water
crisis. Despite all the ill -feeling created by
opponents to modern livestock economics and
technology, he remains optimistic about animal -
agriculture in
Ontario, saying
the hard work
farmers have
done on
environmental
issues plus the
new buildings
being
constructed, put
Ontario on the
cutting edge.

Do farmers like Dave Linton (above) have anything to fear
from new animal cruelty legislation? While many agree with
the intent of the legislation, they worry about the harassment
that could take place from animal rights groups. One activist
we spoke to seems to prove those concerns justified.
