Rotten apples....at HSUS


The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has garnered media attention, once again, with an undercover video, filmed over month ago and pieced together bit by bit. To date, they have not released the entire footage.
But despite this fact, this time there are no scientific explanations for the behaviours of the employees at the Wyoming pig farm, they are clearly abusive, and not just “every day” activities.  
But at the same time, there are no explanations coming forth from HSUS.
I would love to ask them a few questions….
Why did it take a month for your undercover person to report the abuse? How long did it take you to plan that press conference that you held the day after the announcement was made regarding the hog facility? Did you start the planning the month before, when you sent in your undercover, fraudulant employee? Why was the last thing on the press conference agenda the health and well-being of the animals?
“We raise cattle on our farm. We do the best job we can, and have to deal with elements that aren’t always ideal. The weather, the animals, the landscape…it’s all subject to change and cannot be rationalized with our reactions guaranteed. And yet, if someone were to abuse our animals, I would not wait a month or more to take care of the situation,” rancher Val Wagner  writes.
HSUS’s does not really care about the health and well-being of animals. If you saw someone abusing an animal, would you wait a month to report it?  Your local animal shelter wouldn’t! But they don’t have an “agenda.” I just can’t help but wonder…. “What is wrong with these people?”
