I've been hearing about this since the beginning of the week, and was asked to wait for the go ahead. This is legit. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This originated with Karen Strange of the Missouri Federation of Dog Clubs. Permission to forward to those that will help us show the Humane Society of the United States the true meaning of MANDATORY SPAY NEUTER. ANY ANIMAL BREEDER from pets to farm animals to reptiles. Today we are launching the first phase of a multi-phase, carefully timed, and HUGE initiative to expose the HSUS for what they are: TAX CHEATS DISGUISED AS A CHARITY. On the heels of the HSUS-inspired ballot initiative in MO (which I posted a little earlier today, and which they surely have plans to initiate in other states as well), and in response to that are 18 months of hard evidence-gathering by a top attorney, former Judge Advocate, and Washington DC lobbyist, Mr. Frank Losey. Frank would NOT have done this if he did not believe we have a SOLID CASE against HSUS, concerning their non-profit status. (This also appears on the ADOA site). We need THOUSANDS of letters to go to IRS, ASAP! Mandatory Spay Neuter for the HSUS - PHASE I, several more phases to follow Dear Animal Friends, As many of you know, the Humane Society of the United States (aka "HSUS" or "The Humane Society") has created a firestorm of activity nationwide, striving to eliminate our rights to own and enjoy animals, raise animals as food sources, and participate in wildlife management practices such as hunting, fishing and trapping. They are targeting animals used in research, as well as sports, entertainment and as the family pet. They are a runaway train set to destroy agriculture, sports, wildlife management and the owning of pets; life with animals as we know it. The unknowing public is contributing heavily to their coffers, thinking they are "saving animals" when, in fact they are feeding the piranhas that are eating away at animal ownership, use and enjoyment, through anti-animal legislation. Recently, a HSUS-inspired ballot initiative was filed in Missouri against our dog breeding industry. Called the "Puppymill Cruelty Protection Act", the measure does anything but protect animals. It virtually eliminates our freedom of choice to participate in the free enterprise system and enjoy animals, regardless of the state-of-the- art care they receive. Although the HSUS has targeted other states regarding agriculture and hunting interests, this is the first ballot initiative aimed specifically at dog owners and breeders. Missouri has been extremely strong in killing their proposed legislation at the state capitol since the early 1990's, and because of that, HSUS plans to sway the public to vote for their measure in the November 2010 general election, using their usual heart-wrenching photos, lies and unverifiable statistics. They will stop at nothing to reach their goal. Well, they have awakened a sleeping giant and we are fighting back! The agriculture groups in Missouri have come together in a massive coalition to fight this HSUS initiative. Missouri will be the first state, but others have been targeted, as well. We need to WIN in MO, to set a precedent for other states' efforts. Right now we are asking that all dog/cat/reptile/ cattle/swine/ chicken/egg/ sheep - whatever - producers and owners JOIN TOGETHER TO PUT A BIG DENT IN HSUS' BIG, FAT WEALTHY SIDE. HELP US BE PRO-ACTIVE!! ! We call it HOW TO SPAY AND NEUTER THE HSUS.
