Agriculture, Farm Bureau take aim at HSUS agenda

In Missouri, where the Humane Society of the United States hopes to place an initiative on the November ballot to regulate dog-breeding operations, agriculture interests say the effort reflects the organization's intent to further regulate the cattle and livestock industry. "The dog-breeder issue is simply the beginning, we feel, of what can happen in the future with a broader agenda relating to agriculture," said Estil Fretwell of the Missouri Farm Bureau.
