In other news, I think that the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation adequately expressed my personal response to the recent Conklin Farm incident publicized by Mercy for Animals. Obviously, if there are issues like this occurring then they must be stopped. The cruelty captured on film is despicable and I hope the guy filmed doing these horrible actions spends jail time. However, this is not typical of farming and we must end it and not defend them.
On the flip side of the issue, I was very happy that the OFBF directly addressed my own specific concerns and frustrations with the filming by Mercy for Animals in their press release. Why didn't they put an end to this? Did they help instigate it? I also want a full investigation to the neglect that their undercover filmer exhibited when refusing to stand up for what he/she claimed to uphold. Instead he/she filmed the cruelty and made no effort to stop it over the period of a WHOLE MONTH! Shameful. Mercy for Animals once again proves to be nothing but a media front for a political agenda that is merely remotely related to animal well-being. If they cared about the animals that they claim to be serving the interests of, then by the traditional definition of animal rights they would care about each individual and stop every act of cruelty as quickly as possible to help save that individual. Read your books people, the founders of the animal rights movement would be disgraced by you.
