HSUS' Pacelle Commits to Redoubling Anti-Agriculture Efforts
Exclusive Alliance Report from Leading Animal Rights Meeting Now Online
September 11, 2006 - In a speech at the second annual ''Taking Action
for Animals'' conference in Washington D.C., Wayne Pacelle, President
of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) committed to
redoubling the animal rights group's efforts against modern animal
agriculture. Pacelle indicated his belief that there is little
difference between animals and humans. To support his position he used
research that showed similarities between humans and non-human
primates then asserted that the concept could be expanded to include
any animal.
Approximately 500 people attended this conference, September 2-5,
2006, in the Washington, DC area. Major sponsors of the event were the
Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), the Animal Protection
Institute, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, Farm Sanctuary, and the Doris Day Animal League (which
recently announced its merger with HSUS). Attendance increased by
about 200 over last year's event.
Pacelle pledged his ongoing commitment to legislation and lobbying as
key paths for the animal rights movement to move its agenda forward.
He urged the audience to continue pursuing animal guardianship laws to
replace animal ownership laws. Pacelle suggested using the term
''Canine Americans'' instead of dogs to emphasize the rights of these
animals.
This meeting continued to reflect the major changes in the animal
rights movement shown in the last few years. The majority of the
audience had a professional demeanor and was dressed in business
casual attire. It is clear that HSUS has found - and is cultivating -
a segment of activists that are educated, organized professionals
capable of making calculated moves to further the organization's
influence.
