	Farm Sanctuary - About Us
		Farm animals are de-beaked, de-toed, tail-docked, confined, crowded, neglected and denied the very basics of life: fresh air, wholesome food, room to move and, most importantly, freedom - all for the sake of a profit margin.
		Farm Sanctuary has been there to help with some of the largest farm animal rescue cases ever conducted in the U.S. In 2000, we helped save more than 1,500 hens trapped in crushed and twisted metal cages, after tornados laid waste to battery-cage warehouses at the Buckeye Egg Farm in Ohio.
		Farm Sanctuary was among the first to recognize concerns that downed animals could harbor "mad cow" disease, producing a newsletter article in 1993 citing evidence that downed cattle in the U.S. could be afflicted with mad cow, or a variant of the disease.

	Vive le Canada - The Farm Crisis & Corporate Profits
		But to understand this crisis, we must understand these farms in their economic context—as the central link in an agri-food chain that reaches from energy, fertilizer, seed, and chemical companies and banks at one end, to processors, packers, retailers, and restaurants at the other.
		The family farm is the most efficient and sustainable food production system, with thousands of years of experience in some parts of the world, whereas the corporate agribiz operations are literally mining and destroying the land with monocropping, demanding the use of ever increasing amounts of chemicals.
		The only way to stop this degradation of our family farms and our ability to maintain our independence from foreign corporations is for our farmers (like any other viable business) to receive a reasonable return on their investment and labor.
