…”But importantly, who pays? We all do – with our hard-earned tax dollars.”…

The US taxpayers have already bailed out corporate hog producers to the tune of $150,000,000.00 dollars from USDA alone. Like the bailed out big banks the US taxpayer now has a vested right in saying how these bailed out corporations operate.

If you don’t want public interference with industrial animal production, then don’t come running to the taxpayers for a bailout when you make a marketing mistake.

I think it add that the Humane Society of the United States does everything it can to make meat eating much more difficult and to make criminals out of pet owners. If anyone has any doubts about HSUS being and animal rights vegan social movement who actually costs the USA and it’s citizens billions of dollars a year…..well I think I have some cow manure to see you. This is the most dangerous cult in the USA. People need to talk to their goverment officials about the animal laws being proposed and let them know they are the fartherest thing from an animal welfare organization.

Read the bill, especially the few exceptions to being able to turn around freely.

Actiities not permitted:

milking in a stanchion or on a halter
4H exhibition of cattle, sheep and goats
preg checking
TB testing or other public health activities requiring restrainging livestock
individual identification requiring restraint to apply

Since research and rodeos are permitted, they are hopeing the ag folks will be asleep.

Here’s an idea. Maybe we could deputize a group like HSUS to do those inspections for us?

Don’t EVEN think that HSUS hasn’t thought of this already. And don’t even think about that as a viable option. That would be the biggest case of the Inmates running the asylum as we would ever see. They have already “deputized” themselves where dogs are concerned and we have now HSUS conducting and bragging about their many successful “raids” on “puppymills” and “hoarders”. It has been a complete nightmare for us in the pet industry as we watch breeder after breeder taken out and hung up by these masochistic son of a
bi—es. Take a closer look at the videos though of many of their “raids” of dogs living in “deplorable and the worst conditions we’ve ever seen” and the dogs are clean, in good weight. And the biggest tip off that these animals are not is “the worst shape they’ve ever seen” is that they are adopted out within days of being stolen. I have been in dogs (and before that horses) for 20+ years and I can tell you a dog that was never socialized, never taken care of, and never had seen the outside of a cage would NEVER be able to be adopted out within a couple of days of getting out of that kind of situation. It would take weeks of medical care and MONTHS of behavioral rehabilitation and handling to get that dog ready for a real home.

Apparently you haven’t read the piece of legislation in Vermont that actually does give HSUS the authority to inspect meat facilities. Talk about retaliation and punitive if that occurs.

This statement isn’t even one to joke about unless you want good people and bisinesses gone in a heartbeat.
