In yet another clear sign of our movement’s relentless march of progress for animals, yesterday HSUS announced with SeaWorld that the company’s ending its orca breeding program, and much more. Get the details here.
Want more evidence of our progress? The cover feature of the new Meatingplace magazine is about the soaring popularity of animal-free meats, declaring “plant protein is in.” And here to add fuel to that plant-powered fire is the newly-formed Good Food Institute.
Just how do we win so much? Well, in one of our ag opponent’s words this week about HSUS: “They never shut up.” At last, something on which we agree!
Finally, I love that it took a study to show the factory farmers that ag-gag laws erode trust in animal ag. But a study they did.
