To the Editor,
At the Yakima Valley Convention Center, speaking to a full house, Howard Lyman, The “Mad Cowboy” gave a powerful message to all Yakima Valley people.
After going on a Poop Tour of the Yakima Valley and seeing the devastation that is taking place here from factory dairy operations, Howard decided to share his expertise with citizens of the Valley.
We need to act now, before it is too late. We need to stop the polluters to our air, water and soil before there is no water left for our children and grandchildren. Politicians and agencies need to listen to the people, not the large corporations.
No more excuses. No more empty promises. We all need to address this disaster together.
Lyman speaks to more than 300 groups a year and on thousands of radio stops about the dangers of factory farming – aka feedlots, dairies and concentrated animal feeding operations.
He explained how digging deeper wells is not the answer.
Thank you Howard, for caring about us enough to come and share your time and expertise.
