Unites States-Oprah takes on farmers.

UNITED STATES.

OPRAH WINFREY.

While the whole beef industry cringed in the nineties, when Oprah make her ridiculous claims against the eating of beef burgers, she did some damage to tarnish the industry.

The cattlemen who took the lady to court, for food libel learnt the hard way the power of the media and lost in court.

The lady has a new campaign and this time the evidence is overwhelmingly on her side, cruelty to farm animals.

The debacle at Westland Hallmark and the cruelty to downer cows, along with the legislation in the European Union, in regard to farrowing crates for pigs being outlawed and the cages for battery hens being stopped..

Perhaps the US farmers, should start to implement some of these schemes themselves on a voluntary basis, before they are forced into taking action by public opinion..

Oprah on her program recently, without doubt won the first round and shamed the beef and farming industries

This was one thing that Brussels got right, there is no doubt set an example to the industry.
