Oppose Animal Abuse: Don't Forget to Vote NO on Ohio Issue 2 on November 3rd
Dear Sharlotte, Tom, Bridgette, & Quinn,
On November 3rd, Issue 2 will be on the statewide ballot, and Ohio voters
who care about animals need to know this is a dangerous and harmful
amendment. With Issue 2, agribusiness interests are attempting to thwart
efforts to stop the most inhumane and unacceptable confinement practices on
factory farms in Ohio. They have advanced a constitutional amendment that
sounds good, but that will do nothing to push ahead needed reforms. Issue 2
requires no change in the way animals are treated, rendering this amendment
little more than a public relations stunt designed to give the appearance of
regulation in Ohio.
Issue 2 is designed to favor large factory farms that will continue to use
cruel and inhumane confinement methods, and that's why the measure is
opposed by Ohio's family farmers, environmentalists, and animal advocates.
The <http://action.humanesociety.org/site/R?i=FEA-XJMxd3ZlJReLbk0QvQ..>
broad coalition of organizations opposing Issue 2 is growing and now
includes the Ohio Farmer's Union, the Ohio Environmental Stewardship
Alliance, the Ohio Sierra Club, the Ohio League of Women Voters, The Center
for Food Safety, Ohio Ecological Food and Farming Association, the Capital
Area Humane Society, the Cleveland Animal Protective League, the ASPCA, and
The Humane Society of the United States.
In Ohio, tens of millions of egg-laying hens, veal calves, and breeding pigs
are confined in crates and cages where they can barely move an inch, many of
them unable even turn around or stretch their limbs. Seven other states have
passed laws to address this type of extreme confinement, but Ohio is lagging
behind. Whether or not Issue 2 passes, the inhumane confinement of Ohio's
farm animals will remain unaddressed, and it will take hard work from us in
the humane community to reduce the suffering of these millions of animals
who can barely move for their entire lives.
Don't let Big Agribusiness get away with a power grab that would codify
abusive practices through the state constitution. Please vote NO on Issue 2!
