WHY?
As posted on The Truth About Agriculture ,"They want to consult those who study animal behavior and experts in animal husbandry practices, so that they are really doing what is the best for animals. Actually talk to the folks that care for animals and to the experts that are writing the standards. I know that not everyone is going to agree on what those standards should be, but Domino’s is going to talk to them. They don’t want to compromise animal care for the sake of perception."
In the recent years, we have seen many restaurants changing their animal welfare standards due to pressure from animal rights activists groups such as HSUS and PETA.
Some of these food chains include:
Chipolte..........McDonalds..........Subway
As an agriculture producer myself, it is hard to understand how such companies can change their standards when not ever even stepping foot onto a farm or ranch to see and actually understand how things are done. Also, not taking the time to look into the sound science behind how and why animals are raised the way they are. So when a company, like Domino's, stands up for agriculture and wants to truly understand the reasons behind the operations rather than just merely changing their standards due to changing perceptions, they deserve to be acknowledged by those of us in the industry.
Now it is our time to show Domino's our gratitude for doing their research and standing up for modern agriculture!
This weekend, May 18-20th is the AG PIZZA PARTY . I encourage anyone and everyone in agriculture or agvocates to stop by a Domino's, buy a pizza, and thank them for supporting our industry!
