INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.
Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed Laura Reiley.
On a recent Price of Business show, Host Kevin Price visited with Laura Reiley of The Washington Post about false claims by meat companies on the “humane treatment” of animals.
In the article she notes “Earlier this year, a report from the Animal Welfare Institute found that, of nearly 100 animal-raising claims on meat products approved by the USDA, the agency was unable to show in nearly half that the producers submitted and signed the requested affidavit about animal welfare protocols. For 34 applications received, there were no documents on file to substantiate the claims or the substantiation was insufficient.”
