“The ironic thing about this forum is that there’s little science involved. It is, in my view, nothing more than the Department of Agriculture spending taxpayer dollars to provide the Humane Society of the United States a public forum to espouse its anti-agricultural views. […] HSUS is not your local animal shelter. HSUS is a national lobbying organization that spends most of its budget to lobby against farmers and ranchers who provide us with the food and clothing that we enjoy in this country. In fact, tax documents show that HSUS spends less than 1% of its budget on grants to animal shelters. Given these facts, you would have to wonder why the Department of Agriculture is giving this organization this platform and shunning producer organizations.”

You’re getting the word out, Kate. SayUncle’s blog today links to a post at NSSF that points to more at the NY Post on this subject.

No I don’t. I know damn well that the USDA has been taken over by the same freaks that took over the BATF, the Dept. of Education, the Border Patrol, etc. These people are outright enemies of the United States, enemies of freedom, and in fact enemies to every person they consider outside their own little freakazoid political circle.
Its nice to finally see the sons of beeatches out of the closet where we can see them. And get at them.
There will certainly be a great housecleaning in US government offices in 2013………..
Another activist nest discovered and ready to be eliminated when the axe falls on frivolous spending.Can’t be soon enough.
HSUS will join the 99%.
