An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile hoping it will eat him last;
HSUS singled the egg industry and spent millions of dollars on propaganda and ballot campaigns to try to ban common hen houses.
[United Egg Producers] decided to cut a deal with HSUS to pursue federal litigation that would create a mandate for farmers to move from conventional cages to roomier furnished cages over a variable timeframe.
One of the supposed benefits is that the UEP got HSUS, which previously had only advocated for “cage-free” eggs, to agree to take a cage system as acceptable enough.
Oops.
Why would the United Egg Producers ever talk to the HSUS? It’s like your neighborhood London streetwalker trying to be buddies with Jack the Ripper. Jack wasn’t looking for friends and his thirst couldn’t be satisfied.
And the sheeple wonder why the NRA will NOT give even one effing micrometer to the anti-gun nuts?
Activists never quit. When one horse has been ridden into the ground, they change horses and keep riding. Freedoms are lost in increments. Seat belts, bike helmets, lawn darts, smoking, big gulps, raw milk, GMO food that could prevent starvation in millions and the list is ever expanding. These professional busybodies will never quit. Always under the same battle flags. Think of the children or think of our healthcare, or do it to save the planet. They will never run out of things you must stop doing.
Their’e coming after these people too.

peterj, you are right about that.
“Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do with the approval of their own conscience.”
C. S. Lewis, God in the Dock (Eerdmans)
The little creme egg picture is great. I sent it to a number of people.
Hey Folks!
On a very related and truly CANADIAN issue.

Just going on my own experiences and gut feelings about the incest between the vegetarian/treehugger crowd and government bureaucrats – wanna bet that this ‘fairly’ reasonable set of rules about cow care ain’t gonna be good enough for:
(a) PETA, or
(b) provincial ministries,or
(c) federal bureaucrats
Hey Cowboys…Get ready for it! Forewarned is forearmed!!!!
Kenneth Feld, who owns Ringling Bros. circus, understands these people, and apparently the courts do, to, as the ASPCA is paying $9.3 million to Ringling Bros. It turns out that ASPCA, and other animal activist groups paid a plaintiff and former Ringling animal trainer, Tom Rider, $190,000 to perjure himself regarding Ringling’s treatment of animals in its circus. The judge found Mr. Rider to be not credible, and, in fact, a paid plaintiff.
So, when do we see ASPCA leadership criminally indicted for this? And their lawyers?
