Come Talk About Us! 9/28 General Meeting
We're excited to announce that we have a 45-minute spot on the September 28th General Meeting!
This will be a discussion item about the possibility of the Animal Welfare Committee - we'll be giving a 15 minute overview of our proposal and then taking questions for discussion. (The vote for this to be a work-credit squad will need to happen at a date after this general forum discussion.)
So if you have questions about the committee or you want to come out to support the idea (and get workslot credit?), we'd be thrilled to meet you in person!
And you can always email us comments, questions, suggestions at psfcanimals@gmail.com

Item #2:
Animal Welfare Committee
(45 minutes)
Discussion: "To form an Animal-Welfare Committee which would provide animal-related reference materials, articles and product suggestions (alternatives to PSFC products as they relate to animals)."

This will include researching animal-tested products and animal care standards on "food-animal" products that the Coop carries or is asked to carry. Examples: a) identifying products still tested on animals contrary to the Coop's Environmental Statement and researching alternatives, working with the coordinators and their distributor information; b) educational overview of the different kinds of animal testing/"food-animal" welfare standards certification labels and what they mean; c) vendor profiles as they relate to animal-related products at the PSFC (could be farm visits, could be interviews); d) films relevant to animal product issues."—submitted by Jesse Oldham and Patrick Kwan
