Pants on Fire

by Jasmin and Mariann January 29, 2010
written by Jasmin and Mariann

The other day, over at Vegan.com, Erik Marcus reported on a particularly scurrilous column by Rod Smith on the website for the industry rag, Feedstuffs. As quoted in Vegan.com:

The language [of United Egg Producers’ new guidelines] seeks to address how activist groups that are opposed to cage-housing systems are increasingly infiltrating layer operations — getting jobs as employees and then violating their responsibilities to the birds in their care to film clandestine videos of the birds suffering and then release the video to the media and accuse the company of animal abuse that they have, in fact, caused. Often, the activists convince other workers to commit abuse for the videos.

Lo and Behold, when we went to the article, this is what the same paragraph said:

The language seeks to address how activist groups that are opposed to cage-housing systems are increasingly infiltrating layer operations — getting jobs as employees and then filming videos.

Kudos to Vegan.com. This situation perfectly illustrates the influence that can come with exposing the truth, and it shows the inherent power that can come with responsible blogging.

Apparently, even the meat industrial complex is capable of thinking twice about how far their lies can go, at least once they get caught.
