Re: Stick to beat organic farmers?

[Allan Balliett]

The whole parasite cycle is aided and abbetted by conventional livestock practices which try to overcome poor management through the regular administration of anti-parasite toxins. The holistic approach is substantially different. Couple this with livestock that has been bred for parasite resistance and you have another level of defence. And, of course, confine all felines to batteries. -Allan

Tony, we shouldn't equate feedlot problems with organically pastured livestock. There is no equation.

Allan - As I understood it, the problem is alleged to be that outdoor reared animals are more likely to come into contact with cat faeces. I hadn't thought of this as a feedlot problem - not many cats in feedlots? Tony N-S.
