National Rifle Association and animal "rights"

Farmers and ranchers who raise animals on modern farms are not the only ones feeling the impact of animal “rights” groups. In the November issue of America’s 1st Freedom, a National Rifle Association (NRA) magazine, Chris W. Cox wrote an article that explained the two faces of animal rights groups, the one they present to the public and to potential donors. As Cox notes, “The two largest and best-funded animal “rights” groups, Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), both rely on financial support that often comes from people who have not idea what their real agendas are. The NRA is opposed to groups like HSUS as they oppose all forms of hunting, yet hide this agenda by claiming to oppose some hunting. This sounds familiar to what the HSUS did in Arizona by supporting an initiative to ban veal production, knowing that there was no veal produced in the state. Their hidden goal in Arizona was to promote the vegan and vegetarian lifestyles. Consequently, I am grateful to Chris Cox and the NRA for sharing, with millions of its members, the truth about HSUS and other groups like them.

It's amazing how these activist groups have no conscience or guilt for misleading people. What's really sad is these groups are not held accountable for what they say or do. Thanks Ana for opening our eyes to the other issues HSUS and PETA attack.
