Preventable Barn Fires

[Catherine]

I didn't realise there was a petition either. I can't get the link to the petition to work. Weird, since I am in Canada and it is a Canadian issue.
Actually barn fires happen all over. It is just the number in one area in such a short time that has brought the subject into the news and kept it there.

When barn fires happen over and over again with terrible loss of life, it is hard to see them as accidents. Clearly barns are not safe places for animals. There is very little fire safety consciousness in the agricultural industry. If a factory had such poor safety records they would be fined and shut down.

I hope this terrible set of tragedies will bring about the change that needs to happen.
