HSUS won’t take stand. HSUS position is that if you raise an animal, you should do it as humanely as possible. HSUS supports small family farms as opposed to factory farms. But does not have a lot of contact with HPI. Feels that they are good people, positive project over the years, provide training where animals are placed. Went to inspect HPI ranch in Arkansas 10 years ago. All looked okay to him except some animals were in cages. Spoke to manager and he agreed to fix. Has not been back. Was alarmed at wording in brochure and plans to go back and investigate.
So the "cage" business happened 10 years ago, the manager agreed to fix it and HSUS hasn't been back to follow up in that time. Doesn't sound as if HSUS has much of a beef with how Heifer operates - or even knows much about them. And you did a nice job of switching the goal posts, by the way. You were resting your argument on the Dr. Ellis "interview" and all of a sudden that won't carry the day so you jump to another argument and throw in an out of context (the whole account was mostly neutral and even somewhat positive toward Heifer) 10 year old observation by an HSUS investigator. Poor form and dirty pool, imo.
