Congressional Animal Protection Caucus
Representatives Jim Moran (D- VA) and Elton Gallegy (R- CA) have formed a new Congressional Animal Protection Caucus.
The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and their legislative arm, the Humane Society Legislative Fund (HSLF), will be working closely with the new Caucus.
Here is a quote from the HSUS blog:
U.S. Reps. Jim Moran (D-Va.) and Elton Gallegly (R-Calif.), announced today that they will co-chair the newly formed Congressional Animal Protection Caucus, working with The HSUS and HSLF to take lawmaking for animals to the next level.
The HSUS talks alot about being all about “animal protection” and fighting against “animal cruelty” but these are just different terms being used in place of “animal rights”.
Be warned fellow herpers, legislation will be proposed by this committee that will threaten your ability to keep the reptiles you so enjoy. If you think the HSUS shares your opinion of the proper treatment of animals then you have been fooled by the propaganda.
The HSUS is sworn to oppose us just as PETA is, and having the ear of a group of congressmen dedicated to their cause can in no way benefit us or our hobby.
