Pacelle Post

September 19, 2008 by Karen Snyder | Comments closed

HSUS CEO Wayne Pacelle’s Sept 19th blog post regarding California’s Prop 2:

Help Us Beat Their Deceit

They treat animals like units of production. They overcrowd them and put our food supply at risk. They pollute the land and water.

“They” are Big Agribusiness, and they have raised and allocated $10 million to defeat a landmark initiative in California that would ease the suffering of millions of animals now confined in tiny crates on factory farms and suffering terribly. It’s called Proposition 2, and New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof called it “the most important election you’ve never heard of.” Indeed, because California is a trendsetter, this election has the potential to establish a better future for farm animals across the U.S.

Because of that, Big Agribusiness is investing millions in deceptive and false ads to disparage Prop 2.

The only thing that can stop them is you and me. We can match them ad for ad and tell our story to the people of California.

Karen held her Humane California fundraiser over the weekend. We had a strong turnout, raised $1350 for the “Yes on Prop 2″ campaign, and met a lot of new people. Karen and I are grateful to have such a wonderful group of friends and family who so eagerly shared their time and money for a cause very important to us. We can’t thank you enough.

Yes on Prop 2

July 13, 2008 by Mike Snyder | 5 Comment(s) | Post a Comment

Karen, my wonderful wife, likes protecting animals. She has been working hard on a California ballot initiative that would ban certain types of crates for egg-laying hens, veal, and pregnant pigs. I have never seen her work so hard on anything. She spends every free moment on this project that is so very important to her.

I saw her stand countless hours in front of stores collecting signatures, all by herself. Most people were at least nice, if not helpful. Some people were just plain mean. But she would keep standing and keep collecting.

We had Ben, Ryan, and Jake over again – they really enjoy visiting us and the dogs, and we sure love having them. We saw Wall-E, had pizza and ice cream, did other kid stuff. (It Seems they eat pizza and ice cream every time they visit.) On July 4th Nicole Mirrasoul and Mike met me and Mike for dinner at Mimis Cafe in Mira Mesa:
