H1N1 Outbreak Raising Concerns

In light of the current outbreak of H1N1 influenza, or Swine 'Flu, the Green Party of Manitoba is calling for an immediate halt to the development of any new confined animal feeding operations, or "CAFOs," in the province. Large numbers of hogs and chickens are fed in these facilities, also referred to as "factory farms." The Government of Manitoba has allowed the development of many such operations, especially in the southeast and central areas.

About the Green Party of Manitoba:

The Green Party of Manitoba was officially established in 1998. The aim of the Green Party is to educate the public and government about the fallacy in believing that the "environment" is a separate issue from the other issues that Manitobans are concerned about. A truly sustainable society requires a fundamental acknowledgement of all the social, economic and ecological factors that are involved when implementing government policy and evaluating its outcomes.
