This article is definitely one of the best I have read about the true intentions of the HSUS
Excerpts: Recently Missourians for Animal Care was formed, banding together agriculture in the state like never before. Their stated purpose is to inform the public about the ballot initiative and what they call the ultimate goal of HSUS, "to eliminate meat from the human diet."
In a recent interview on the Cattle Network, when asked about claims they are out to abolish animal agriculture, Pacelle said (among other things) "Our policy statement makes it clear that we respect individual choice, but we do challenge consumers, citizens, and policy makers to apply some moral reckoning to the subject of how animals used for food are treated."
However, they can't deny that their website shares only "humane eating" recipes, which are actually vegan recipes that don't include meat or any animal products, incuding butter, eggs or cow's milk (even in cakes and breads).
Some recipe highlights are "Faux Turkey Casserole," "Eggless Egg Salad" and "chicken-friendly" products: processed food like "Chicken-style strips" (faux chicken), Soy Boy's Okara Courage Burger and Gardenburger's Flame Grilled Chik'n Grill.
They recently unveiled a new line of organic, vegetarian dog food, called Humane Choice. It does not contain "corn, dairy, artificial coloring, wheat, wheat gluten, animal-based protein, or ingredients produced by genetic engineering." (Aren't dogs natural carnivores?)
Pacelle and other HSUS leaders are unabashed vegans who don't eat, wear or use anything from animals, including leather belts or shoes.
They might deny their ultimate goal is abolishment of all animal agriculture, but the HSUS seems smart enough to know that their credibility and funding will suffer if they come right out and say they advocate the elimination of meat consumption, especially with over 97 percent of Americans exercising their right to choose an omnivorous diet.
They seem to have the patience and plan to know when building a house, or in this case a movement, you must first start at the bottom, building a foundation before moving on to the next step.
