The Canadian government has announced it will set aside US$69 million in loan funding to support hog farmers in halting livestock raising.

Canada’s pork industry sales are at their lowest in 60 years, following a decline in 2008 that saw around 1,000 pig farmers switching their professions.

We laud your initiative, Canada, in supporting farmers to turn toward life-giving professions. Such measures expanded worldwide will surely bring a stable, happy future for humans and animals alike.
