One generation and out. We have no problem with the extinction of domestic animals. They are creations of human selective breeding.” Wayne Pacelle, Humane Society of the United States, Animal People, May, 1993. He is an avid Vegan, using HSUS to end animal agriculture while building his retirement. Besides, an agreement with HSUS does not guarantee any changes from Mercy for Animals or PETA or the rest of the terrorists. Any changes in Hen housing should be based on scientific research - not emotion. Until a year ago HSUS said only free range was good enough for hens, and if you have been around free range hens very ling you see it is not good for the hens or the eggs. Rob, you are the misinformed one, this is the way to put hundreds of houses out of production, reduce egg production and increase egg costs, which HSUS hopes will translate to less eggs consumed. UEP can see higher egg prices in their future...but proof that it is a win for hens is yet to be shown.Family Farmernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611343902862659250.post-63558121329226607342012-02-15T11:55:33.347-05:002012-02-15T11:55:33.347-05:00Totally disagree.

Why should the rest of ag care? This is something specific to the egg indsutry. How is this negotiating with terrorists? Isn't it possible that this could be what is best for egg laying hens? And, clearly, this agreement is not an attempt to end animal ag. If you think that, you are sadly misinformed.Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611343902862659250.post-69206458743227201192012-02-15T09:36:33.671-05:002012-02-15T09:36:33.671-05:00This is the equivelent to negotiating with terrori...This is the equivelent to negotiating with terrorist. That is what HSUS is, a domestic terrorist organization. Their goal is to end animal agriculture. period. This is just step one for egg producers, they will be back with more demands, more lawsuits, more intimidation. This also makes it more difficult for the rest of us in animal ag.Keegannoreply@blogger.com
