2008-10-28 20:26:37 - HSUS Top Dog Wayne Pacelle tells Animal Radio® that Farmers are Gouging Us

Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) President Wayne Pacelle gets candid with Animal Radio® - in a last minute push for California voters to approve groundbreaking legislation.

Proposition 2 will set guidelines for humane treatment of animals on factory farms. It is opposed by farmers that believe it will be costly.

'Those opposed to this legislation have been gouging consumers by increasing the price of eggs by 40% in the last 4 years,' says Pacelle. 'California's Prop 2 is a nationwide model.'

'You don't have to say more than ‘let's talk about prop 2' to get our listener lines to light, ' says Animal Radio® Executive Producer Judy Francis, 'Voters are divided.'

'Tuesday is more than electing a pet-friendly president - voters need to look at all their local legislation in the name of animals' says Animal Radio® VP Programming Hal Abrams.
