Leeal School Improvement" ’ r. w .l Making The Humane Choice When You Shop (NAPS)—Some 10 billion ani- mals are raised on our nation’s farms and ranches, yet the vast majority—almost 90 percent— are not provided animal-centric welfarestandards beyond the industry standards offered by trade association guidelines and retailer-imposed audits. And very few producers are audited by independent third-party certifying organizations to verify that humane standards are met. With prompting from the American people and nonprofit organizations focused on animal welfare, this is changing. A recent survey of 6,000 people revealed that more than nine in 10 of those polled (94.9 percent) said they were very concerned about the welfare of animals in US. agri- culture. Consumers’ increasing awareness of and demand for humanely raised food are also matched by their willingness to back their ideals with action: More than three—quarters (75.7 percent) of the survey respondents said they would agree to pay more at the cash register for humanely raised meat, dairy and eggs. It appears that when it comes to improving the treatment of Amer— ica’s farm animals, consumers are literally putting their money where their mouth is. To provide for the welfare of animals and meet the demands of today’s enlightened consumers, a number of certification programs have, arisen to set basic humane standards and oversee that they are followed. In 2000, American Humane Association, which was founded in 1877 around the issue of farm animal protection before expanding its mission to include children and all animals, created the first third-party farm animal welfare certification program. Based on the internationally accepted “Five Freedoms,” the V“American Humane Certified” program convened leading animal science experts, veterinarians and practitioners, and developed more than 200 scientifically based, species-specific standards cover- ing everything from food to living conditions, humane space require- ments and the expression of nat- ural behaviors. Some 1 billion ani- mals are now covered by this Most Americans would pay more for humanely raised food. program alone, as well as 90 per- cent of the cage-free eggs sold in the United States. Still, this accounts for only a small fraction , of the animals in the nation’s agri- cultural system, and animal advo- cates continue to push for more protections and better standards for all those involved in America’s food production. “Ensuring the humane treat- ment of farm animals truly is one of the remaining frontiers in ani- mal welfare,” says Dr. Robin Ganzert, president and CEO of American Humane Association. “Fortunately, more and more peo- ple are looking for humane food choices that are in line with their values, and we encourage the more than 95 percent of Ameri- cans who do choose to eat eggs, meat, poultry and dairy to seek out humanely raised products and set a humane table for their families.” “Ultimately, Americans will exercise their right to eat what they want,” says Michelle Ganci, national director of the Humane Heartland” farm animal welfare program. “But no one has the right to treat animals inhumanely. We believe that all animals—those in our homes, those in service to our country, and those raised on our farms and ranches—are entitled to humane treatment, and we’re encouraged to see that more and more Americans agree with us and are looking for humane food choices that make a difference to them, their families, and the 10 billion animals relying on us to do the right thing.” To find humane choices online, visit www.HumaneHeartland.org. Tues. Dec. 6. 2016 Hinton News - 3 GREEN BRIER VALLEY CHORALE CONCERT FEATURES SACRED AND SECULAR MUSIC OF THE SEASON [LEWISBURG, W.Va.] The Greenbrier Valley Chorale will perform beloved carols, lively . arrangements of favorite holiday tunes and newer beautiful music of the season during its annual Christmas concert at Carnegie Hall in Lewisburg, W.

The choir will have the audience tapping their toes to the familiar strains of Winter Wonderland and Baby,It’s Cold Outside. The program also will feature Mack Wilberg’s setting of O Magnum Mysterium.

The concert also will include a harp trio featuring Leah and Roger Trent and Susan Adkins and harp/ concertina duets of Christmas music of the British Isles performed by the Trents. Smaller ensembles from within the Chorale will be spotlighted, including a humorous number by a barbershop quartet and an ensemble of women singing Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. The audience will even get into the act singing along on some favorite carols. Concert sponsors are Tim Holbrook, Nancy Bulla, and Taylor, Nate and Carrington Bryant. Carnegie Hall is A'DA compliant. Concert tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for college students, and $5 for children in grades K-12.
