It looks like the HSUS is taking another swing at us (but as usual, they are blindfolded, lol)

Don't underestimate these people. They are smart, very good at what they do, deceptive, exceptionally well funded, and untiring. People also need to understand that HSUS (Humane Society of The United States) has nothing at all to do with the Humane Society that runs animal shelters and animal adoption agencies around the country. That is a part of their decption. HSUS is nothing more than a group of activists whose main agenda is to outlaw the captive keeping of ALL animals and to outlaw all forms of hunting, fishing, etc. throughout the United States. They ARE our worst enemy. Because of their deceptive practices and doctrine, they have managed to take on the appearance of being credible advocates of "animal rights", much more so than PETA. PETA shoots itself in the foot at every turn because of some of the outlandish tactics they use. HSUS is much smarter than that.

The "information" and "data" they use to try to get laws passed is, of course, for the most part false and fabricated. The problem is that no one ever seems to challenge them on it until it is too late or very nearly so. One of the reasons for this is that they are extremely good at keeping things very quiet and getting bills "piggybacked" so that very little attention is drawn to them.

If we ignore them, they will eventually destroy our hobby and/or profession.
