Pot calling kettle black in columns
Within the last week, we’ve seen columns in the 蘑菇视频 from two competing out-of-town organizations: The Humane Society of the United States and the Center for Consumer Freedom.

In truth, both organizations grossly misrepresent themselves and promote irresponsible policies, neither have our interests in mind, and neither can be trusted. HSUS supports trap, neuter, and release of feral cats, which allows continued harm to people, wildlife, and livestock through predation and the spread of infectious disease. They support no-kill shelters, which prop up irresponsible pet owners who don’t neuter their animals. They tout protecting elephants from poaching, when in reality, African national parks have been culling elephants for years because they’re now overpopulated.
CCF is no better. They’re a corporate PR slush fund that funnels the majority of donations to for profit companies owned by members of its executive board. While they mention HSUS’s poor ratings with charity watchdogs, their own are just as bad.
CCF supports the unregulated use of genetically modified food additives without labeling as well as the continued use of “feeds of animal origin,” including manure and activated sewage, as livestock feed.
These two pot and kettle organizations pit us against each other in order to line their pockets and promote their misguided and detrimental agendas. I suggest ignoring them both in favor of issues that actually affect us, like the opoid epidemic, unemployment, homelessness, and declining water quality.
