The HSUS is at it again!
On January 5th the Missouri State Senate heard the first reading of Senate Bill 4 filed by Senator Bill Stouffer. SB 4 seeks to repeal the "Puppy Mill Cruelty and Prevention Act" which was narrowly passed by voters on November 2nd, 2010.
The act ,known as Prop B, barely passed with only 51.6% of the vote regardless of the millions of dollars spent by the Human Society of the United States (HSUS) and other far left groups in their efforts to mislead and guilt-trip Missourians into passing a bill that has no hope of helping reduce or eliminate puppy mill cruelty..
Only through the hard work of various citizen action groups and individuals, the truth about Prop B and it's potential effects on animal related business and farming began to permeate through the onslaught of deceptive pro-Prop B ads and articles resulting in a very close race. Along with the specifics of Prop B, the truth aboutthe motives of the HSUS also began to be realized by Missouri residents. Extensive evidence was disseminated through First Tuesday Press and can be accessed on our blog. (HSUS Part 1, HSUS Part 2) Please use this information to inform your Senator about the danger of the HSUS and their ilk gaining further footholds in Missouri.
The HSUS will be targeting our Missouri Senate on Wednesday, February 16 with their Missouri Humane Lobby Day.
Seeking to cement and eventually expand its influence, the HSUS will be lobbying our Senators in an attempt to block SB 4 from passage. Please contact your State Senator and ask him or her to be sure they fully understand Prop B AND the HSUS and their motives and press them for passage of SB 4.
