Animal Ag Alliance Shares Report on HSUS Conference

The Animal Agriculture Alliance released a report written by members who attended the “Taking Action for Animals” conference that was put on by the Humane Society of the U.S. The Alliance said sending their members to conferences like this allows them to gather crucial intelligence information on what animal activists are up to. There were several themes noted at the conference, including how to put pressure on corporations to make them more animal-friendly.

HSUS urges its members to put pressure on companies for more restrictive policies that ultimately don’t improve animal welfare. Those policies do raise the cost of caring for animals and in turn, raise the cost of food. Another panel talked about approaching shareholders and managers of food companies in a positive way, but then turning up the pressure to get what they want. Other panels included using religion to promote an animal rights agenda. The Senior Food Policy Director for HSUS also talked about the “Meatless Mondays” campaign in schools as something she called a “tiny little trick for holidays from meat.”
