Headline News for TGFA Members
Off the President’s Desk – Looking through the news today, I came across the Humane Society of the US.In a recent newspaper article I learned that less than one percent of the HSUS annual budget actually goes to animal shelters.The bulk of their money goes toward activities such as changing the law in California with regards to animal confinement.Today’s news is about what’s happening in Ohio.In our last session that ended in 2009, it was reported that the HSUS was visiting offices in Austin. In a related story, CBS will be airing a piece on the use of antimicrobials in animal diets next week (it was supposed to happen this week but was delayed).We have to continue to press for sound science when formulating public policy and mind the rules and regulations that guide our business pursuits.We will be addressing the topic at our 112th in April and we will be visiting with our elective representatives in Washington later this month on the issue.So next time when you see that cute little ad about saving cats and dogs, remind the rest watching about where the money is actually going!
