nation-wide party for farm animals!

[nenmrancher]

I posted this in the Bull session to start with but I wasnt sure if very many people would read it over there, so I posted it here as well.

I recieved this today and was curious if anyone else had heard anything about this?

Read it and weep...

Hi all! Please join me on April 27th for a nation-wide party for farm animals! So far, there are five parties scheduled around Arizona. If there's not one near you, feel free to host your own! (There is still time to sign up.) The HSLF party planners will walk you through it.

If you have not RSVP'd for one of the parties, please take a moment to do that now, so our gracious hosts will know how many people to expect. I'll be attending the Phoenix party and am looking forward to seeing some old friends and meeting some new ones.

Attend a Party for Farm Animals on April 27!

Dear Friend ,


Our Special Guests

HSUS Investigator
"Brian"


Congresswoman
Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.)

We're just 10 days away from the next round of Party Animals house parties! On April 27 at 7:30 p.m. ET, all Stand Up for Farm Animals events can dial in to the nationwide call and hear what each of us can do to pass more humane laws and have an impact on Capitol Hill.

We have parties already set up for Chandler, Gilbert, Phoenix, Sedona and Tucson, so R.S.V.P. now to a Party Animals event near you. Meet up with other people who care about protecting animals as much as you do. Party hosts across the country are opening their homes to animal advocates like you and inviting you to join the fun.

Or if you're interested, there's still time to host your own Party Animals event. Sign up by Monday, April 21, and we'll help you out by sending you a host box with information on humane issues you can share with your guests.

Party Animals is a fun and unique way to support the Humane Society Legislative Fund. By participating in a Stand Up for Farm Animals house party, you can help the HSLF carry out its mission to pass more humane legislation and support humane candidates for office. Animal advocates from coast to coast gather together on one night to help raise funds for the HSLF and meet up with other advocates in their communities.

I'm thrilled to tell you that "Brian," the Humane Society of the United States' undercover investigator who helped expose the inhumane treatment of cows at a California slaughter plant -- leading to the largest beef recall in the nation's history -- and U.S. Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), a longtime animal advocate, chairwoman of the Appropriations Agriculture Subcommittee and co-founder of the Congressional Food Safety Caucus, are both joining me on the nationwide Party Animals conference call.

It won't be a party without you, so please R.S.V.P. to an event near you or sign up to host your own party.

Thank you for all you do for animals.

Sincerely,
Mike Markarian
President
Humane Society Legislative Fund

These do-gooder, smarter than the rest of us outfits are slowly making headway at running ranchers and hunters out'a business. They think that life is the spittin' image of a Disney movie and the sooner the animals get to skippin' and talkin', the better off we'll all be. Apparently they do not eat beef of pork or chicken and have alot of time to spend for the cause. I think we owe it animals to treat them the best we can, while realizing the end goal for feeding people. It just seems that some folks want most of us changing professions. And they have built a political and vocal machine to help them. We must provide people with a common sense, ethical, honest rebuttal to their noise. We also have to pay attention to our practices and realize folks are watching and waiting for reasons to throw us under the bus. I wonder if the Farm-animal-party will be followed by a hamburger fry? :wink:

>>They will come to their senses when they get hungry.....<<<

AMEN!!!!!!!!!

Same thing with all this anti-oil global warming crap, when the lights get dim and the shivering starts we'll see a heck of a lot less tree huggers out there.

These wackos will get the point after a power plant protest leads to a home that is dark and they cannot figure out why that cannot log into some liberal blog site and cannot figure out why their Ipod wont recharge.

I heard this on a late night news minute. People living near coal fired powerplants are more likely to have autistic children. The reason, mercury emissions from burning coal. Did any of these reseachers even take into account that there is more mercury in a typical home that has CFL lamps then what comes from a coal fired powerplant?

Probably soon there will be "a nationwide farm party for animals" for them to vote. The NFPA will be right in there with the Republicans and Democrats, and will have their own animal candidates running for office. :? Sophie for Senate :roll:

Humanizing animals will only become an increasingly scary problem for us food producers to deal with. I personally have good friends I graduated high school with, single, career oriented, successful, and living in cities with their "children"... dogs and cats. These people have no plans to marry and have children, and their pets are their sole source of "family" in some cases.

As an industry, we must recognize the humanizing trend is only going to increase, and that the public will only become more aware of what is going on in our industry. We must not tolerate what happened in California.

It's hard to just shoot an animal we may be able to get a little salvage value from, but choosing not to can cost every producer in the industry. It would be interesting to find out when that California cow became a downer... during transport, at the processing plant???
