A taste of its own medicine for HSUS Monday, August 9, 2010 The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), known for capitalizing on video footage of animal abuse on farms and in slaughterhouses as it pushes its animal rights agenda, is getting a taste of its own medicine. In late May, a group that watches animal rights organizations released a video shot at the HSUS-managed Duchess Horse Sanctuary in Oregon. A release from Humanewatch.org states: "Though HSUS claims its Oregon facility offers '1,120 acres of rolling pasture,' the HumaneWatch.org video shows horses in overcrowded conditions wading through a field of mud, manure, and hazardous fallen tree branches."Tim McQuay, a National Reining Horse Association Hall of Fame inductee, commented: "I would be embarrassed to have my horses running in a pasture with dead trees and mud where injury could easily occur." Veterinarians concurred.The HSUS fought back by attacking its attackers. Its website says, "Opposition groups . . . don't like the HSUS. Why? Because we are so effective in our work to end cruelty to animals." BF Dog noses beat human eyes Not-so-happy California cows
