After reading the article concerning the changes JS West has made to one of their hen houses along with the comments offered by Wayne Pacelle of the HSUS, I believe this situation will be indicative of the “modus operandi” for the HSUS in the future as they pursue ballot initiatives in other states. The HSUS will champion ballot initiatives written in vague terms that in no way totally reflect their true intentions, but that are not radical enough to turn off the average voter. Then, if the ballot initiative is approved, the HSUS and their staff of 30+ lawyers can begin working to use the vagueness of the recently passed law to place their own interpretation of what the voters (HSUS) really meant by the new law. And once the law is on the books, it is a lot harder to get it removed.
Also, given the pot of gold that the HSUS maintains (you know, the money that isn’t used in the support of shelters), I’ll bet they will be more than happy to litigate any company to its knees that doesn’t comply with the HSUS interpretation of the law. You have to love the legal system in the United States until groups like the HSUS abuse the system.
