Central Daylight Time Subj: The HSUS web across Texas TX-RPOA E-News From RPOA Texas Outreach and Responsible Pet Owners Alliance "Animal welfare, not animal 'rights' and, yes, there is a difference." Permission granted to crosspost. October 24, 2008 Humane Society of the United States is the largest "animal rights" organization in the country and is endorsing the Texas candidates below. Wayne Pacelle (HSUS president, former executive director of Fund for Animals) Animal People, May, 1993, says:: "One generation and out. We have no problem with the extinction of domestic animals. They are creations of human selective breeding." Responsible Pet Owners Alliance believes deeply in the human/animal bond and opposes the efforts of HSUS in Texas. ____________________________________ From: Humane Society Legislative Fund October 23, 2008 Texas Animal Welfare Advocates Unite for Humane Candidates in Congressional Races! Dear Friend, Voter Guide The 2008 election is just around the corner, and advocates of animal protection in Texas need to know who is standing up for their interests in Congress. The Humane Society Legislative Fund is the non-partisan political arm of the humane movement, and we want you to know who the humane candidates are in the Texas congressional races. The cause of animals is broad and bipartisan, and it attracts support from all ends of the political spectrum. HSLF works with both Democrats and Republicans who advance the humane treatment of animals. And we support them in their elections, too, so they can continue to fight for animal protection policies. In order to pass humane laws, we need to elect humane lawmakers -- and we need to make tough choices in elections when the stakes are so high for animals. HSLF is a non-partisan organization that evaluates candidates based on two overarching criteria: their viability and their stands on animal protection policies. HSLF does not judge candidates based on party affiliation or any other issue.
