The modern animal rights movement is not what it seems. Today's activists have perverted once-sensible animal welfare goals by putting animals ahead of human beings and employing a "by any means necessary" philosophy to achieve their goals of "total animal liberation."

Led by PETA, the Humane Society of the United States, and other activist groups, the animal liberation movement does not seek to improve animals' lives. Its goal is to place unnecessary restrictions on ordinary people like you.

Today's activists want to force you to eat nothing but beans and greens; and wear nothing but cotton, rayon, and rubber. They want to ban hunting, fishing, zoos, rodeos, and circuses. Some want to permanently end Kosher slaughter. They even want to outlaw the use of animals in the search for cures for AIDS, Parkinson's Disease, and cancer. And a growing number take the law into their own hands, crossing the line from peaceful protest to violent crime.

It's a terrible scam. The world deserves to know the truth.

Shock Poll: HSUS Donors Think HSUS Fundraising Misleads (5/15/12)
Our HumaneWatch.org project has been educating Americans about the real agenda of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). Of course, HSUS does a good job of hiding that agenda in its fundraising material. In a national poll, 71 percent of Americans said they believed HSUS was an “umbrella group that represents thousands of local humane societies all across America.” That perception could hardly be further from the truth, but it’s not surprising given HSUS’s advertising, which relies heavily on dogs and cats.

Shocking Survey: 80 Percent Of HSUS Donors Believe The Group Engages In Deceptive Advertising (5/15/12)
Washington, DC – Today HumaneWatch.org, a project of the nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF), released the findings from a new survey of 1,000 self-identified Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) donors that found 90 percent were unaware that the organization gives just one percent of its budget to local pet shelters. This is a surprise to many, as 74 percent reported that their primary reasons for donating to the animal rights group was the belief that their money would go either to help pet...

Memo To Phony Doctors Group: Let The President Eat His Hot Dog! (5/9/12)
The evangelical vegetarians at Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (despite the name, only 10 percent of its members are medical doctors) have a habit of attacking President Obama and the First Family for their consumer choices. You see, apparently the President and the First Lady appreciate the occasional cheeseburger, and PCRM thinks that photos of the Obamas enjoying food cause obesity or something. The group intends to petition the White House to forbid pictures of the Obamas or other members of the President’s staff eating what PCRM calls “carcinogenic or obesogenic foods.” Meanwhile, media outlets are eating PCRM’s press releases up. More...

Calling All Herbivores … (5/7/12)
The New York Times recently posed a challenge to meat eaters: Defend eating animals. In typical Times fashion, the odds were stacked firmly against the forces of common sense and bacon grease: The judges included the godfather of the animal rights movement, Peter Singer; the “vegan before 6” (a.m.?) Mark Bittman; elitist Berkeley foodie Michael Pollan; and anti-meat writer Jonathan Safran Foer. Not exactly a jury of their peers. So, with the self-respecting omnivores smelling a vegetarian rat, the “defense of meat” was left to—drum...
