Ohio ponders chances of ballot initiative

摘要

IT has been two months since Ohio farm group leaders met with representatives of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) to talk about livestock and poultry confinement issues. The animal welfare group is waiting to hear if the groups want to talk some more. On Feb. 17, Paul Shapiro, who heads up the HSUS Factory Farming Campaign, sat down with representatives of the Ohio Farm Bureau (OFB), the Ohio Veterinary Medical Assn. and leaders from the state's pork, beef and poultry organizations.
