I Told You So
In the past I have been criticized for my commentaries on the animal rights movement. HSUSA even threatened to take me to court over one of my commentaries. They like to hide behind their compassion for animals but as this story reveals they are radical activists who will do what ever it takes with no regard to the law, ethics, or good taste.
UEP charges HSUS for wiretapping
feedstuffsfoodlink.com, October 13, 2008
The United Egg Producers (UEP) has submitted documents to California and Maryland authorities charging the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) with being involved in illegal wiretapping and conspiracy.
The documents were filed last week with the attorneys general for California and Maryland and the district attorneys for Sacramento County, Cal., and Montgomery County, Md.
They allege that an HSUS employee “impersonated an egg industry ally” and, in that persona, illegally tape- recorded phone calls that he made to a member of the UEP staff.
They further state that HSUS used this information in a conspiracy with a California political campaign committee led by a former HSUS employee, UEP said.
The HSUS employee involved in the wiretapping is Frank Loftus, director of the HSUS investigations unit, who admitted in an affidavit associated with another legal proceeding that he masqueraded as another person and made three phone calls to UEP’s offices on Aug. 28, UEP said.
In a statement, HSUS said the phone calls were not recorded.
These people are well organized, well funded and anti agriculture. Never ever believe a word they say.
