The entire ag industry is feeling pressure from activists determined to attack animal agriculture. Bryan Humphreys with the National Pork Producers Council says that despite the pushback, they are proud of how the industry responds:
“In Sonoma County, California, it was all livestock; any medium CAFOs and larger that were going to be banned. In Denver, it was to stop any slaughter facilities inside Denver, and there is only one. It is a lamb processing facility, Superior Meats. The interesting part here, the heartwarming part, is that all of agriculture came together and helped fight these initiatives. The folks on the ground ran the campaigns, and the other organizations helped contribute money and resources as appropriate to help fend these off, and so, agriculture came together in a strong way.”

Lawmakers have argued anti-agriculture activism not only harms local economies, but also damages the global food system.
