HSUS President Addresses Farm Broadcasters 04/28/2009
Tuesday U.S. farm broadcasters, meeting in Washington, D.C., heard from the President of the Humane Society of the United States, Wayne Pacelle. Pacelle says he believes his organization is a voice nationally to speak for dignity of animals. to make sure that all animals are treated humanely and that they have a chance to live a decent life. He adds that his group is being unfairly portrayed by agricultural groups and the ag media.HSUS policy is set by their board of directors, Pacelle said. They do not consider sound science research when they set policy for how they want animals to be cared for. Pacelle promised that HSUS was not going away and they would continue to pursue an agenda on the confinement of livestock across the country.The HSUS President cited the case of Colorado, where livestock interests in that state sat down with the HSUS with the two sides compromising on what they wanted animal confinement issues to look like in that state, and then took that compromise to the Legislature to be put into law. Similar discussions are underway in Ohio.
