Better Pork’s December cover story prompted an angry response from one reader. Here’s what he had to say
by ROBERT IRWIN & DON STONEMAN
The cover story in Better Pork’s December issue caused a stir. It was about sow gestation stalls and the National Farmers Union (NFU) in Manitoba joining with an activist group to have them banned by 2017. The matter was going to be discussed at a national NFU convention in London.
The article featured Ridgetown producer Rock Geluk, an organic producer and a member of the NFU, on the cover of the magazine. Geluk essentially agreed with the Manitoba effort.
