HSUS – Hidden Agendas?
An out of state group is doing exactly what it said it would not do last year, when it came into our state and spent millions of dollars to mislead you, not only in the voting booth, but also in collecting millions of dollars that never go toward taking care of an animal.
The Missouri House made the right decision in joining the Senate in passing Senate Bill 113 and 95, which strengthen new dog breeding laws and add the enforcement that had been missing for so long.
Many of you know last fall, by a very narrow margin, urban voters in Missouri passed Proposition B — a citizen-led petition against dog breeders in the state of Missouri. The ads that stretched from radio to television to billboards were paid for by a large, well-funded group from out of state: the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS).
When the HSUS came here last year, they claimed they were only interested in ridding our state of illegal dog breeders and nothing else — even though their proposal targeted the good, law-abiding breeders. Now, not even six months after the November election that brought us Prop B, they are back. The HSUS has filed a ballot initiative that would require a three-quarter majority of both the Missouri Senate and the Missouri House to change something enacted by the voters. Currently, only a simple majority is needed. The measure would go on the November 2012 ballot.
There were many of us warning about this nearly a year ago. After Proposition B passed, folks started to read what was in the new law and started to realize the true agenda of this bunch. They are wasting no time in advancing their hidden agenda. They will start collecting signatures immediately, and have until May 2012 to submit those to the Secretary of State’s office.
If we let the HSUS continue down this path in Missouri, we are putting an “out of business” sign on the state. Missouri’s cattle industry in 2007 was $1.7 billion. I ask you to think about your local school district, hospitals, and ambulance boards — a large portion of the personal property taxes that keep these going are paid by taxpayers whose monetary livelihood is tied to agriculture. You could potentially see chains and padlocks around the front doors of our schools. We cannot let this happen.
As always, please send us your thoughts, and I hope to see you around the district.
THE MORE I FIND...THE ANGRIER I AM BECOMING ABOUT THIS!!!
