The importance of animal welfare issues is rising up a few notches in the awareness of Canadians.
The safety of the meat, milk and eggs they consume has always been the number one food and agricultural issue for a majority of Canadians through many years of polling by the Ontario Farm Animal Council (OFAC), says executive director Crystal Mackay.
From the Walkerton tragedy to 2008, the environment held a steady number two position.
