Every animal lover with access to the internet should do a google search for “The future of Dogs” which will lead them to the pet-law.com site (or just go to http://www.pet-law.com/future/future_print.html) where they will find a scholarly dissertation on the future of pet ownership and the very disturbing trends in pet related legislation.  It also exposes the radical agenda of HSUS and PETA and explains the real story behind the nice sounding but wrong headed amendment to the Florida constitution that was mistakenly passed a few years back banning the use of farrowing pens which were designed to prevent the sow from rolling on and crushing her piglets. People need to understand that what these organizations say in their fund raising letters doesn’t reflect their true agenda and how they really spend your money. We recently had a local issue concering the zoning for a 20 year old hunting lodge . Unfortunately the national political organizations HSUS and PETA chose to get involved and were spreading complete fabrications about the hunting lodge operations. It is important that pet owners understand the true agenda of these organizations. HSUS (Humane Society of the United States) is a completely separate and very different organization from our local Humane Society. While our local society is a fine organization, active in helping and providing shelter and finding new homes for abandoned pets, my research indicates that HSUS and PETA are radical political organization s that provide no direct support to pets or animal shelters and which actively fight against the individual’s right to pet ownership. HSUS and PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) trade on their misleading names to raise money from animal lovers to support a political crusade that in reality is not in the best interests of pet owners. They collect millions from animal lovers who erroneously believe that they are helping abandoned pets. Remember this next time you receive a fund raising letter from these groups.
