The Visual HSUS, Part 6
Today we’re releasing the latest entry in our Visual HSUS series. Our newest graphic concerns the broader, radical agenda of the Humane Society of the United States to eliminate meat, eggs, milk, cheese, and other animal products. Click the links to view past entries: [1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5]
To many people, that aim sounds like something so crazy that only groups like PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) would advocate it. HSUS knows this, and goes to great lengths to wash over its objectives with moderate-sounding rhetoric. HSUS uses code words such as “reducing, refining, and replacing” animal products or eating more “plant-based” foods, which are generally relative and leave HSUS’s end-goal unsaid. But HSUS doesn’t endorse any animal products, no matter how humanely produced.
Speaking at a 2006 animal rights conference hosted by the Animals & Society Institute, then HSUS vice president for farm-animal issues Miyun Park spilled the beans about HSUS’s end-game in a moment of blunt honesty. Click on the graphic to read her full quote, and listen to the audio here.

Just one quibble: You forgot “pets”. They also want to outlaw those.
So?
Apparently Lisa is one of those vegans who sees no problem with eliminating a NECESSARY part of an omnivorous diet: ANIMAL PROTEINS.
Obviously animal proteins aren’t a necessary part of our diet, or else there wouldn’t be so many vegans alive, would there?
I agree that the HSUS shouldn’t lie about what they are really trying to do as an organization, but I also think it’s important to not spread lies yourself, Cathy M. Humans may eat animals, but we don’t need to—and evolutionarily speaking, we weren’t meant to. There are plenty of resources out there backing this truth up; we don’t have meat eating teeth, we don’t have glands that naturally salivate over raw meat like all other meat eating animals, we don’t have any natural weapons to kill with (such as sharp teeth, claws, speed, stealth, etc, etc.). If you WANT to eat meat, that’s one thing…but let’s not pretend we ever have or ever will NEED to eat meat, okay?
That said, there are many cases supporting the theory that meat was responsible for the explosion in brain growth that lead to modern humans.
Cooked meat, because it’s easier to digest and doesn’t require highly adapted teeth to process. Intelligence and problem solving are our weapons, we don’t need claws.
The fact that your able to be online and expressing your opinion at all has a lot to do with your brain, and meat. I for one enjoy hunting my own food sources and growing them myself. I love my animals, and I also eat them. It’s really hard to eat a balanced diet of only plant material. I’ve tried and I got very sick, very fast. Some things just -don’t- occur in plants. It’s as simple as that.
