environmentally responsible livestock operations conference & AGM April 21, 2007

Please pass this on to other groups that you believe would also be interested.

SERLO (Society for Environmentally Responsible Livestock Operations) has become increasingly concerned with the rapid expansion of CFO's (Confined Feeding Operations) and our provincial governments encouraging and enabling these animal factories, at the expense of our environment and rural economy.

We are having our 5th Annual Conference and AGM next month. We would be pleased if you would come and be part of a group that is working to hold the government accountable and bring back democratic transparency to the process of approving CFO's.
