I could not find it, and whether it comes from Humane or FB, if it doesn't allow me to read the source document, my eyebrows raise.<BR/><BR/>Additionally, your post uses the term accept; I used tolerate. Neither is synonymous with approve. It is this slight verbal shading that I consider spin, and might agree with if I could scan the data myself. <BR/><BR/>As to my income from commenting, wouldn't that bias make me more likely to post opinions that are agreeable to the legions of FB members/readers?<BR/><BR/>My personal life and finances are fair game, I have learned, but this inference seems backwards to me. <BR/><BR/>BTW, for other readers, the "dks" reference was a new one for me.

The only frame of reference they have might be anthropomorphism. Perhaps they accept that it is raised in an acceptable manner according to guidelines, and accepted animal handling and raising practices that are being used. Maybe they have trust. Do you? I KNOW that a happy animal is the most productive. Do you? I was disappointed by your inferences about the Farm Bureau. I want them to get the info correct too, but I don't accuse them of 'propagandaizing' their results in search of opinions.I can assure you that the Humane Society puts spin on their questions and results. You would do well to support such an organization(FArm Bureau) that has helped so much in getting the farmers voice heard, and supports our business. But perhaps, your income from comments is more important now. Again, I am disappointed in you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
