I was recently signed up on the Humane Society of the United States listserv because I RSVP’d for their town hall meeting recently in Lincoln. Not a problem as I enjoy getting updated on what they are doing and how they lying to their constituents about how they help animals. I especially enjoyed the email I recieved […]

Why does the HSUS hate agriculture and what can be done?
**I wrote this post for the Nebraska Corn Kernels blog, but wanted to share here as well. Martosko is a great advocate for animal agriculture and knows his stuff about HSUS!** The 6th Annual Nebraska Ag Classic was held in Kearney this week to help understand the growing challenges the agriculture industry is facing. The main discussion […]
HSUS in Nebraska? HumaneWatch.org is!
This coming Sunday, the Humane Society of the United States is holding a Town Hall meeting in Lincoln, Nebraska. They have recently hired a director for Nebraska (housed in Omaha) and Wayne Pacelle himself is coming for this meeting to discuss issues surrounding animals in Nebraska. No doubt, this won’t only be about pets, but […]
Use National Animal Shelter Week to educate about what HSUS really is
This week, November 7-13, 2010, is National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week, which was launched by HSUS in 1996 as a way to acknowledge and promote the invaluable role shelters play in their communities and to increase public awareness of animal welfare issues and shelter services.

How does livestock in the media affect consumer purchasing decisions?
I read this interesting article in the Midwest Ag Journal titled, “Consumers spend less on meat when livestock is in the media”.

Their research assumes that public information will influence consumer perceptions of meat product […]
At the end of the day, nobody cares more about cattle than the person that gets up every day to take care of them
I’ve been meaning to post this article and have finally gotten around to it! I have heard Dr. Dan Thomson, Director of the Beef Cattle Institute and Associate Professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University, speak before about animal welfare, and he contributes a very good perspective specific to the beef […]
The Ag Industry Does Not Tolerate Animal Abuse
As some of you have heard, an awful video of animal abuse on a dairy farm in Ohio was release by Mercy for Animals (similar to PETA or HSUS) The video was terrible and made my stomach ache…just after watching about 20 secsion I had to turn it off. Consumers need to know that this […]
Animal welfare, even through Iceland’s volcano
I am in awe over the pictures I’ve seen from Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull volcano. This volocano, that affected millions of travelers around the world, even had the World Health Organization issue a health warning to Europeans, not to mention the health affects of locals. As I look at some of these pictures and think about animal […]
Misleading information on red meat nutrition
As part of my health insurance through working at a Nebraska state government agency, I had to participate in a biometric screening to take my pulse, height, weight, blood pressure…yada yada. It took about 10 minutes out of my day and really wasn’t a big deal….until I had to wait to get my results and watched […]
News media world is understanding truth about HSUS
This is a must see! This news station is shedding some light about where HSUS’s money is REALLY going. This is worth passing on: “Little to none of the money raised goes to local shelters.”
