800 cows killed by a fire at a dairy farm
#4
I am not the only one who wants to see changes. The Winnipeg Humane Society is calling for changes.
Right now the building codes allow barns to be built to a lesser standard because they don't house people.
However barn fires are becoming more common and as  the animal welfare consultant to the Winnipeg Humane Society put it, dying in a fire while trapped in a building is a terrible way to go.

I am glad there are people acting in response to this fire. All loss of animal life in a fire is terrible, but this is particularly terrible. There were so many cows in the barns and so few were saved.

New regulations and new methods of farming could put an end to this animal holocaust.
Now we need Ontario to pay attention. We have way too many barn fires here.
