         <description><![CDATA[<p>Beware that the HSUS is not your local humane society. They are not humane at all. Rather they are a big money international lobbying group pushing a vegan agenda , attempting to destroy farms, and prevent people from having pets or any interaction with animals. This is the same as PETA and their more violent terrorist branches like ALF.</p>

<p>While the Bushway plant has serious issues that need addressing it is not nearly as bad as HSUS would like you to believe. HSUS used selective reporting to lie to you and missrepresented Dr. Temple Grandin & Vogel's letter. Reading the original letter finds a different story.</p>

<p>Remember, HSUS is the enemy of farm animals and farmers. Do not fall for their lies.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I have to second JN's comment above:  I have looked at the HSUS annual statement (required since it is a 501(c)3 corporation), and wow it is interesting. Search for it online, it's available.  </p>

<p>The amount of money used for direct animal assistance, versus the amount used for "education" (lobbying etc) and the amount "reserved" in interest-bearing funds (about $60Million when I looked) is a few percent, means to me that they are not interested in helping animals at all.</p>

<p>I'm ashamed to say I actually donated money to their cause before reading their disclosures, thinking they were in fact like a local Humane Society.  Well, obviously, they're not.</p>

<p>while there are items to be corrected here, I would rather have the USDA paying attention that my next veal has no E Coli, instead of how humanely it was killed.  Don't get me wrong - I don't want animals to suffer - but let's keep priorities straight.  First, keep the food supply safe.  If there are extra dollars and inspectors, only then worry about secondary considerations.</p>]]></description>
