Bill Banning Antibiotics in California Animals Passes Committee
Published Wednesday, April 22, 2009 at 04:52 AM
In a news release issued following the vote, Florez said, - we tell people to take antibiotics only as prescribed for the very reason that they not develop resistance to these drugs they may need when they are truly sick. Then we feed those same antibiotics daily to the animals they will consume. The California State Senator emphasized, - it just doesn’t make any sense to take this gamble with the long-term health of our communities.
Elanor Starmer, a research analyst for Food and Water Watch, a non-profit consumer advocacy group says – we hope California will set an example for the nation. Noelle Cremers, director of natural resources and commodities for the California Farm Bureau, says - what Senator Florez is trying to do is take away tools we use to keep animals healthy. Cremers adds, - we don't see that as being a good way to provide safe food for consumers.
