Anyone remember this thread?
http://www.nodakoutdoors.com/forums/view...hp?t=40541 I ended up having to fight the HSUS in publications all over the country b/c they claimed I was wrong on what their stance on hunting was. Gotta love exposed hypocrisy. And I ended up getting bombarded with hatemail over the whole ordeal for being wrong. Sorry, this one feels good to see as a press release.
Letter Exposes Animal Rights Agenda of HSUS to Feds
(Columbus, OH) - The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) has demanded that a USDA
website correctly identify the world’s largest anti-hunting organization as an
animal rights lobbying organization.
The USSA sent a letter to the USDA explaining that the Humane Society of the United
States’ “primary purpose is to advocate for sensible public policies” and not
provide direct services to shelter, rescue or provide any direct services for
animals in need. The USDA website inaccurately portrays it as a “shelter, rescue
and welfare organization”.
HSUS supports an active lobbying campaign and actively lobbies against hunting.
According to the Senate Office of Public Records, HSUS has spent up to $80,000 in a
6-month period on lobbying activities.
Despite its name, it is not in business to operate animal shelters or rescue
facilities.
The USDA listings under “Shelters, Rescue and Welfare Organizations” are designed to
be a resource for pet owners.
According to the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance, any reference to the Humane Society of
the United States (HSUS) as an animal welfare group, as opposed to correctly
designating it an animal rights lobbying organization, gives undeserved credibility
to the organization.
“We sent this letter to the department because it is well past the time for the
public to be made aware of what the HSUS is all about and that isn’t going to happen
if it keeps getting credit it doesn’t deserve,” said Rick Story, senior vice
president of the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA). “The letter succinctly points
out that the HSUS falls under the heading of animal rights lobbying group and why it
should be referred to as such. The HSUS has a full animal rights agenda and wants
to end all ownership and use of animals, no matter how responsible.”
This letter is a first step in the campaign announced last week by the USSA that
will educate the media, elected officials, the public, sportsmen and the many others
targeted by the animal rights group on the hidden, non-mainstream agendas of the
HSUS.
As part of this campaign, the USSA has initiated the Sportsmen Against HSUS fund,
which will be used in the continuing battle against the HSUS and its animal rights
campaign. In addition to educating people on the group’s hidden agendas, it will
fund campaigns combating the public policy threats initiated and supported by the
HSUS.
Sportsmen immediately began showing their support for this campaign to expose the
HSUS upon hearing of the fund’s launch.
Some recent legislative attacks on sportsmen’s rights by the HSUS include:
- the launching of a campaign to address “puppy mills,” abusive, large-scale,
commercial dog breeding operations. However, the deceptive language of the
HSUS-backed measures also devastates small hobby breeders, dog show kennels and
sporting dog enthusiasts.
- a mandatory spay and neuter bill in California. The measure requires all dogs to
be spayed or neutered by the age of six months, making it nearly impossible for
sportsmen with mixed-breed sporting dogs to remain in the field.
- opposition to bills from across the country that are intended to lessen barriers
for youth and newcomers to take part in hunting.
“It is more important than ever that all sportsmen unite to combat the principal
enemy of American conservation and the outdoor sports that make conservation
possible,” Story said. End of Quote
