Should small farmers be at the mercy of Animal Rights groups?

Over the7 months, several small farmers have been raided, their animals seized, and livelihood removed, because people do not understand agricultural practices. In all cases, animals that were healthy, have died in the care of the 'rescuers', Animals with Championships and rare breed genetics have been Spayed/ castrated. This was done WITHOUT the required hearings. Would you want his happening to YOUR livestock?

    I think the department of agriculture needs to do a better job of promoting agriculture and what it does for us. For too long I have seen PETA and its stupid slogans and practices go on without a hitch. Nowadays, people just dont understand what agriculture is and what it does for the community. They just hear the word cattle farm and think that those animals are being mistreated just because they are going to be meat, where they are going to be mistreated there. its not true in the slightest. and the DofAg, needs to do something about it. It needs to promote good, humane, safe, and high quality foods, products, and services to the public, and offer education to the youth on a much more national scale than they do now... they are just too quiet. They need to promote the Future Farmers of America more, with more incentives for youth.

    These are not animal rights groups, they are militant animal rights groups there is a difference in how the two perceive paths to obtain their goal. It is like saying Ghandi & a guerilla warfare group fighting for freedom are the same

    I don't support it, but you can read up on why they hold such beliefs that causes them to go raid labs/farms etc. They aren't complete whackos, they understand animal agricultural practices better than many people & came from a meat-eating background themselves in 99% of cases, & there is debate in philosophical communities about whether one can really call the desturction of property built for animal testing ''terrorism''.
