Interesting Read: About PETA and HSUS

[blue]

Obama's Regulatory Czar would disagree with you on animal rights. Google "Cass Sunstein animal rights".

My feelings about PETA are no secret. I read an article in the last year or two about the cross pollination of execs from PETA to HSUS, which leads me to ignore them both equally.

PETA, ELF, ALF, all the same......terrorists with a cool cause.

Like you, I learned a long time ago not to trust PETA.

HSUS is not a shelter. Your last paragraph, you said you are not involved with that shelter in any way, but they aren't one. They focus more on legislative change. Yes they do go in to assist with emergency cases on a large scale. And we here in RI have seen and benefited by their help twice in recent years.

And I think they are the ones who monitor movie sets, if I remember correctly. To ensure animals used in filming are properly cared for. They do not give their accreditation easily.

As for the article, consider the source. Naturally, they are going to be against most of it! It is not an objective opinion.

The radical AHs out here went to firebomb the house where the head of the LA Animal Control office lived.

Instead they managed to firebomb the wrong house.

If they can't get an address right what makes you think they have animal's best interests in common?

I find most of the active/reactive animal groups to be a bunch of morons.

American Humane is the one that monitors movie sets.

I agree that there is a big difference between animal "welfare" and "rights"; we have to be mindful of any of the world's resources and not squander them.
