Humane Bites #308: HSUS Flops in the Show-Me State Legislature

Clippings culled from all over the electronic news world. (E-mail submissions for next time.)

• Missouri legislators have voted to send the Right-to-Farm act for voters’ approval in 2014. HSUS had desperately attempted to kill it in the State Senate, but a bi-partisan majority decided to refer the measure for public approval.
• Orlando Local 6 television took a look into where donations to HSUS and other national animal charities go and found that HSUS is not your local animal shelter. (Want to help pets in your community? Give to local groups, not HSUS.)
• A Member of Congress from South Dakota became the latest public official to speak out against HSUS’s assault on agriculture.
• Featured Shelter: Rhode Island S.P.C.A. (Donate. Volunteer. Adopt.)
