Write to your MP about antibiotic use for farm animals

Post by fabindia »

I don't want to be over dramatic here, but bacterial resistance to antibiotics could finish us all off. But factory farming methods routinely administer antibiotics to otherwise healthy animals.

Here's a link to petition by Compassion in World Farming. http://action.ciwf.org.uk/ea-action/action?ea.client.id=119&ea.campaign.id=30073&ea.tracking.id=2d57aea1

If you feel strong abut this, please use the link to email your MP.

They need to get a move on with sorting it out, once the TTIP trade agreement with
US is final if the UK ban this from our food & include imports, any US corporations
out of pocket because of it could sue our govt!

Signed, but do you really think that the govt will take on big agribusiness? They wouldn't need so use antibiotics to stop disease ripping through them if they gave them more space and decent conditions, like TB in the slums of the industrial revolution.

Give 'em hell! They're supposed to represent us - it's why we pay them - and I feel less than enthusiastically represented by my MP.
