Panelists during a session on animal activism at the Governor’s Ag and Economic Development Summit in Kearney in early August warned those in attendance that the threats and challenges those groups present are real and growing.
Offense wins, defense loses when battling animal activists
Panelists discuss animal activism and how agriculture must get aggressive and go on offense, as being on defense means the industry is always behind. Pictured is Marnie Jensen, left, a partner in Omaha's Husch-Blackwell law firm, which was among those who challenged Prop 12; Michael Formica, legal counsel for the National Pork Producers; Jack Hubbard, executive director of the Center for Environment and Welfare; and Steve Martin, panel moderator and director of AFAN, the Alliance for the Future of Agriculture in Nebraska.
