OFB's cave to the "humane society"

Isn't it a shame to see the Ohio Farm Bureau cave into the "Humane Society". Especially after winning last fall's ballot initiative to create an "Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board".

I thought that board was going to take care of all our upcoming issues? Especially since the board has the "humane society" on the board.

So, the OFB and others supported last fall's ballot initiative to create this board. The thought process was, that by creating this board, the issues would be handled by the board.

However, the initiative did not stop anyone from taking issues directly to the voters. So, what is the point of the board?

Then when the so called "humane society" threatens again to take livestock "care" issues to the voters, the OFB caves.

What is the old saying?..."with friends like these, who needs enemies?"

Makes one wonder if the Ohio Farmer's Bureau went ahead and put the "humane society" on their board. They are acting like it.

Mr. Strickland is trying to play both sides here. But just because he has his picture taken with OFB's vice president, in no way makes him a friend of farmers.
