UEP chief on the ‘partnership’ with HSUS

The president and CEO of United Egg Producers (UEP), Gene Gregory, has received a lot of criticism in recent months—mostly from other segments of animal agriculture—for UEP’s decision to compromise with HSUS on the issue of cage size for egg-laying hens.  Gregory continues to defend the compromise—and the “egg bill” now pending in Congress—saying that national standards are necessary to ensure the future survivability of the U.S. egg industry.

At the NIAA conference in Denver, we asked Gregory about the partnership with HSUS, whether he thinks the animal rights group can be trusted, and the chances of getting the egg bill through Congress.
