HSUS Advances an Aggressive Agenda

Starting today it is even more important for us all to be vigilant regarding our freedoms to fish, hunt, trap - and even choosing the food we eat, plus much more. Now that President Obama is in office the HSUS feels it has a sympathetic ear the organization is implementing an aggressive array of animal goals, including an Animal protection Liason in the White House and Animal Protection Division in the Justice Department. "Never before has the animal protection movement so carefully articulated a vast array of critical animal protection reforms in the domains of so many federal agencies--Agriculture, Interior, Commerce, Defense, Health and Human Services, State, and others."   
 
Attached is their "100-point Change Agenda for Animals." Fishing, hunting, trapping and conservation will all be affected if some of their goals are enacted. I've included a few which are highlighted in yellow.   
 
...transforming the USDA's Wildlife Services program into one that mitigates human-wildlife conflicts through non-lethal means (#10), halting the import of sport-hunted polar bear trophies into the United States (#23), having the Environmental Protection Agency regulate factory farms and the pollution they produce, including emissions that contribute significantly to climate change (#39),  
 
Remember, what happens at the federal level usually makes its way to the state level.  Thank you all for being part of the NJOA action alert system and for being sentries for our fishing, hunting and trapping freedoms.
