Import rules a pig's ear
Pig farmers say the idea that not every pork product sold in New Zealand has to be produced to this country’s own welfare standards is unfair.
An advertising company says it likely won’t accept a request from the animal rights group.
PETA said in a statement that it was seeking to place a billboard at the site where a truck overturned along Interstate 40 near Winston-Salem “in honor of the cows who were injured and killed.”
About half of the 41 cows on board the tractor-trailer died when it crashed on the way from Kentucky to a slaughterhouse in Asheboro, North Carolina.
The driver told a local TV station a family of deer ran into the roadway and he swerved to avoid them.
