Midwest Anti-terrorism Training Course Offered

August 10, 2006 — 

The Ohio Livestock Coalition is partnering with the Animal Agriculture Alliance (AAA) and the Law Enforcement Academic Research Network (LEARN) to present a training course entitled Managing Activist/Terrorist Threats to the Food, Agricultural and Animal Industries: A Common Sense Approach.

This two-day course, to take place October 17-18 in Columbus, Ohio, will focus on the threats that both international and domestic terrorists, especially animal rights extremists, pose to animal-related industries and their customers from retail outlets to restaurants to food service companies to animal research facilities. Registration is available online at http://www.learninc.us.

In mid-March, the New York-based Global Resource Action Center for the Environment (GRACE) conducted anti-agriculture activist training sessions for more than 70 residents of Indiana's Blackford, Delaware, Wayne, Jackson and Rush along with Ohio's Darke counties.
