Fuss about VgT radio spots
To mark the 20th anniversary of the Association Against Factory Farming (VgT), the organization—which specializes in the protection of farm animals—has launched three radio spots. The campaign was planned to air on all German-language Swiss radio stations, but some censored the content of the spots.
To mark the 20th anniversary of the Association Against Animal Factories VgT, the organization specializing in farm animal protection has launched three radio spots. These will be broadcast on various Swiss private radio stations between June 2 and 4, 2009. According to the spots, the revised Animal Welfare Ordinance has not done much to improve animal husbandry on farms. There is only one remedy for the misery of animals: "Eat vegetarian (today) - for the sake of your health and the animals!".
The campaign was planned to be broadcast on all German-speaking Swiss radio stations. However, some censored the content of the spots, others did not grant the VgT the usual discount for non-profit organizations, as the association writes in a press release. The spots will now be broadcast on Radio 24, Radio Basel1, Basilisk, Regenbogen, Radio BeO Berner Oberland, Radio Be1, Radio Rottu, Oberwallis, Radio Grischa and Radio Munot.
