“The brave talk of private property rights... is mere rhetoric.” — PBRC co-director Steve McConnell, in a February 1998 letter to The Wyoming Tribune-Eagle, co-written with Sierra Club lobbyist Steve Jones
“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.” — Tom Garrett of the Powder River Basin Resource Council, and of the D.C.-based Animal Welfare Institute, on his efforts to ensure that Poland’s livestock producers never becomes as successful as their American counterparts.
