- centered on the ventilation system.

- Graphic TV footage showed row upon row of blackened metal crates that had
- blocked all hope of escape for the animals confined in them.
-
- For some time, PEI environmentalists have done battle with the IslandÆs
- growing animal-factory industry. Increasingly, residents of rural towns
- have joined with them to oppose the new mega-farms which spew massive
- amounts of toxins into the air and water. Though their efforts to date are
- in vain, they are buoyed by successes in Quebec, where several municipal
- bans against new hog barns are in place, and also Ontario, where pressure
- is mounting for similar bans.
-
- Local activists tell us that PEI is anxious to protect its image as a
- quaint and pristine tourist destination. The Island is loath to allow
- unsavory news leaking out which could tarnish its wholesome reputation.
- These activists urge people who live outside of PEI to write letters
- decrying the Apple Valley Farm disaster. They feel that the most effective
- protests will come from potential visitors.
-
- So, whether you live in Canada or the U.S., PLEASE send a strong message to
- PEIÆs leaders. Tell them (in your own style) that ôbusiness as usualö after
- such an astronomical toll in animal suffering is unthinkable. The farm
- ownerÆs casually-delivered statement on TV that ôwe will probably rebuildö
- demonstrates an utter lack of conscience. Insist that the public has a
- right to expect meat animals to be raised humanely under safe conditions.
- You might add that this horrific incident would compel you to think twice
- before planning a visit to the once-appealing home of Anne of Green Gables.
