She is the "National Director" and apparently the primary spokesperson along with one or two loyal trolls. No wonder she does not contain links back to her "pro-horse slaughter, factory farming, cosmetics testing, pound seizure, fois gras, veal crate, fur ranch, steel leg hold trap" web site. Both the NAIA and Berman & Company front sites (CCF, PETAkills Animals, anti-labor union sites, etc.) operate as fraudulent 501 (3) tax exempt "charities". Its legislative branch, the "NAIA Trust" is also listed as a "non-profit" under a 501 (4). http://www.naiatrust.org/gov/index<BR/><BR/>Some of these ridiculous quotes on horse slaughter are directly from this site. Horses are not "slaughtered", they are simply "processed" as in “horse processing for horses that no longer meet the needs of their owners". http://www.naiaonline.org/library/Animal_Rights_Win_Horses_Lose.htm <BR/><BR/>Like CCF (whom it often references); NAIA targets PETA and HSUS (probably related to PETA investigations and lawsuits against its clients and board). Criticisms of PETA and HSUS include: campaigns against factory farming http://www.naiaonline.org/pdfs/oppositionform.pdf and horse slaughter as well as their promotion of mandatory spay/neuter and breeding restrictions. The NAIA has endorsed factory farming, foie gras production, steel hold leg traps, fur ranching, pound seizure, cosmetics testing and horse slaughter or “horse processing for horses that no longer meet the needs of their owners". http://www.naiaonline.org/library/Animal_Rights_Win_Horses_Lose.htm <BR/><BR/>The NAIA aggressively opposes mandatory spay/neuter programs; usually instigated by desperate state, city and county governments dealing with shelter over crowding and high euthanasia. http://www.naiaonline.org/issues/campaigns.htm While often focusing on the “problem of dangerous dogs” http://www.akc.org/canine_legislation/position_statements.cfm#dangerousdog NAIA ignores breeding, health and welfare issues which lead to temperament problems. There have been numerous studies and published writings linking chaining, confinement and lack of proper socialization to canine aggression, http://www.nationalcanineresearchcouncil.com/ <BR/>They lobby heavily in favor of unregulated breeding (puppy mills) as they represent the American Kennel Club (Ms. Strand is a board member since 1995) which rakes in over 30 million a year from AKC registered puppies from mills. Patti Strand has frequently lobbied for licensing rescues and shelters as "dealers" (believe it or not)as they cut into the puppy mill "market" the AKC depends on.<BR/><BR/>The milk of compassion certainly runs through this woman. She is probably in her 60's and yet is setting up fake blogs pretending to be a "college student" strangely obsessed with rationalizing foie gras and horse slaughter. <BR/>Ms. Strand, please get a life. Money isn't everything. Your wealthy NAIA clients in the fur, factory farming, vivisection and puppy mill industries would be wise to do the same.<BR/><BR/>National Animal Interest Alliance<BR/>11402 Se Flavel St<BR/>Portland, OR 97290-6579<BR/>503-761-1139<BR/>http://www.naiaonline.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695043468542242349.post-57085849845253246082007-10-17T09:31:00.000-04:002007-10-17T09:31:00.000-04:00HSUS and AWI are two of very few organizations tha...HSUS and AWI are two of very few organizations that stand between a free for all with animals and some protection and yes LAWS! My gosh, they actually want some laws to protect animals, imagine that. <BR/><BR/>Thanks AWI and HSUS!

More people posting this pro sl...Just what we need. More people posting this pro slaughter dribble that is full of inaccuracies. The HSUS is NOT trying to ban all animals as food animals. If you’d do a little research before posting their propaganda, you would know they are trying to make the process more humane. More humane so the animals don’t suffer. We are the stewards of animals and if we don’t protect them, who will? They have no voice. As far as the AVA, a little research on them and you would have discovered that the organization is pro slaughter but the dues paying membership is not. Many of the vets have formed their own organization (http://vetsforequinewelfare.org/) that are speaking out loud and clear against horse slaughter. This organization was formed when the kill houses were still open in the US. There is plenty of information on just how inhumane they were which is why Americans lobbied to shut them down. All that is left is to ban the transport through the federal legislation – HR503 & S311 and this despicable industry will be history and just a bad chapter in American history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695043468542242349.post-50598509207509752232007-10-16T16:07:00.000-04:002007-10-16T16:07:00.000-04:00maybe not your anscestors. you prbably wont have a...maybe not your anscestors. you prbably wont have any before your retarded bloodline dies out, thank god for the welfare of animalsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695043468542242349.post-85298751224107486982007-10-16T15:12:00.000-04:002007-10-16T15:12:00.000-04:00No, they won't.No, they won't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695043468542242349.post-73600493730146410612007-10-16T12:58:00.000-04:002007-10-16T12:58:00.000-04:00pot says kettle, kettle says pot.
