Local shelters distancing themselves from HSUS, Katie Couric

I think when most people think of the Humane Society, they think of their local animal shelter. The truth is your local shelter recieves very little or no money from the HSUS. The HSUS has a political agenda to end all animal agriculture in the United States. Recently agriculture has been it hard, expecially in California with the passing of proposition 2. Agriculturists are the number animal welfare representives. Without proper care of our animals, success would be inevitable. The idea that our animals are "pumped with antibiotics" is just simply untrue. Not only would that be a financially negative to do so, but antibiotics are only used with "at risk" animals, which is far more humane than waiting for them to get sick.


Katie Couric's one sided recent report this week failed to illustrate that all antibiotics used in animal agriculture are approved by the Food and Drug Administration and that the potential for residues and bacterial resistance are monitored and measured repeatedly throughout the food production and processing chain.
