APHIS,
the
USDA’s Animal Plant Health Inspection Services
opened the door
for HSUS as revealed on the Senate floor -
see video
below!
The
upcoming Animal Welfare forum will be hosted by APHIS and is
described as a tax-payer funded platform “to provide the
Humane Society of The United States a public forum to espouse
its (views).”
In 2005 TheDogPlace.org reported a potential collusion between HSUS and USDA to take over inspections of puppy mills and
ultimately, private kennels. [1]
AKC was not excluded from the plan to start knocking
on the doors of hobby dog breeders. It was (then) such an
unfathomable concept as to receive only a mention but the seed
has sprouted, fertilized by hundreds of millions of HSUS
lobbying dollars.
The headline in FarmProgress.com called for an “End
to USDA-HSUS Collusion”
and the lead proclaimed “Senators
and ag groups voice outrage over USDA-APHIS working with the
Humane Society of the United States on an animal welfare forum.”
Chairman Don Nikodim spoke for all tax-payers “To use
taxpayer dollars to give HSUS a public forum for their radical
animal-rights agenda under the guise of a scientific forum
undermines the very farmers that the USDA is supposed to be
helping."
TheDogPlace.org
2010 report by attorney Frank Losey mentioned “HSUS
is beating the drum about … the USDA (Inspector General) IG
Report with regards to APHIS
Inspection Procedures” [2] but the inescapable
collusion conclusion escaped even Losey’s astute mind.
Watch the 6 minute video of the speech delivered on the House floor by Kansas Senator Jerry Moran (R) in which he stated
“USDA is catering to HSUS” by “precluding input from the
agricultural community it is supposed to
promote.” He sums up
the collusion by stating “It is clear the Dept. Of
Agriculture is catering to an outside organization instead of
relying on the advice of animal scientists.”
