 American shoppers would be shocked to learn that the little bit of fur trim on their collars or cuffs -- even if it's shaved or dyed pink or purple to look deceptively fake -- comes from real animals, possibly even dogs or cats. We are grateful to Reps. Ferguson and Moran for introducing the Truth in Fur Labeling Act of 2006, and we urge Congress to pass it quickly. Consumers have the right to make informed purchasing choices, and not to have the fur pulled over their eyes. |
| Dogs play an important role in our lives, and deserve to be protected from individuals and industries that would do them harm. |
| Every year, more than 90,000 American horses -- thoroughbreds, family ponies, and others -- are slaughtered for human consumption abroad in countries such as France, Belgium, and Japan. These magnificent creatures have been part of the fabric of American life for centuries. They faithfully plowed our fields, carried our loads, and helped us in war and peace. The House and Senate have both stated decisively that horses deserve better than to be hoisted by a rear leg, cut with a long blade, and bled out for the purpose of being served to foreign gourmands. |

| It really reflects misplaced priorities when you can go to jail for a longer time for burning a photograph of someone's dog than for burning a dog. The laws just need to catch up with society's values. |
| It's absolutely outrageous. The agency is substituting the judgment of Belgian and French chefs for the judgment of Congress. |
| It's pay-per-view slaughter. People can be sitting in their beds and killing animals with the click of a mouse. |
| People are bonded to their pets. For people who have lost everything ... their pet may be the only comfort they had left. These policies put people at risk as well as animals, and we want the government to correct that. |
| Taking a beaver out of a natural habitat, away from offspring, social groups and sources of food, can certainly be a problem. It's especially problematic if it isn't done by a licensed professional who knows when and where an animal can be released and the ecology of relocation. |
| The Humane Society of the United States is very pleased that Mississippi lawmakers have taken this important step to stop an egregious trophy hunting practice that amounts to nothing more than pay-per-view slaughter. Responsible hunters know there's no sport in shooting an animal remotely while lying in bed and wearing camouflage pajamas. We urge Governor Barbour to sign this bill into law now and snuff out this snuff film scenario. |
| There was no national policy that said animals matter. |
| These are wild animals and shouldn't be held captive and used as production machines. Fox hunting and all it involves is a throwback to the past. It doesn't have a place in modern society. |
| USDA is playing games and thumbing its nose at Congress. |
| We applaud Senators Ensign and Byrd for winning this resounding victory for horses. Senate offices received thousands of calls from constituents who love horses, and we thank lawmakers for acting decisively to end the slaughter of these American icons and trusted companions. The identical language from the House and Senate should put this issue to rest and save tens of thousands of horses from a grim and painful end. |
| We cannot rely on individual acts of compassion. |
