Quotes

“When I saw that Smithfield intended to install the same kind of production -- large confinement operations -- in Poland as they had in the U.S., I knew what a disaster it would be if factory farms took over. I felt we should bring the Poles over here and show them what factory farms look like. Otherwise, they’d never understand what they were in for.”
