Let families visit their grocery stores and find beef, poultry, dairy and egg products missing from the shelves. Have a little media fest and tell them "This is where HSUS and PETA are taking this country. Imagine what you see today being the new normal. Now, imagine no vaccines available for your kids or the elderly (they're grown on egg albumin); no medical research being pursued to find the cures to cancer, AIDS or heart disease because these organizations believe the life of a lab rat is more important than that of your loved ones. Imagine that what's left of the US economy has completely collapsed due to the destruction of the agriculture, food and medical industries. This is the future your elected officials are guaranteeing every time they pass another law endorsed by HSUS or PETA. Today was just a preview of that future if you don't take action now." Maybe that'd wake 'em up. I think that everyone involved in animal agriculture in the US should have a boycott day.
