Agenda 21… S.3239

One
day soon, America could wake up to a dozen eggs costing $8 or more. 
And unless you are involved in some aspect of farming or agriculture,
you would never know that egg prices are about to skyrocket or the
reason why. 

With food prices already increasing due to high grain and
fuel costs, extraneous so-called animal welfare regulations are being
imposed on U.S. food producers, large and small, by the animal rights powerhouse known as the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS).

With HSUS’ vegan animal rights platform as the motivations behind crafting a controversial egg bill, S. 3239 was
introduced in the U.S. Senate on Friday, May 25, 2012, inching U.S. egg
producers closer to a mandate which would require them to phase out
conventional cages for egg-laying hens and transition to a system called
“enriched colony cages” by 2029, at a cost to U.S. egg producers
ranging between $4 billion to $10 billion.

While most Americans shrug their shoulders and live their lives, they
are completely unaware of how this regulation will affect the cost of
food and its availability in the future. 

The current egg shortage in the U.K.
should be a jolting wake-up call for Americans, illustrating that the
onerous animal welfare regulations which have phased out conventional
cages there have caused egg prices to quadruple, while diminishing egg
supply to a “crisis” level. 

This is a glimpse of what’s coming to
America if HSUS’ egg bill becomes law.

Instead
of improving productivity for the American egg industry and supporting
our farmers and ranchers, these imposed regulations will incrementally
squeeze egg producers out of business. 

Fewer egg farmers means fewer
eggs.  Fewer eggs mean higher prices for the consumer, and importing
more of our food from other countries where neither animal welfare nor
food safety is top priority.

While
these regulations may seem reasonable on the surface, the agenda behind
them lies within the organization pushing these cleverly crafted laws,
cloaked in a disguise of emotional propaganda used to advance these
proposed regulations into law. 

HSUS is an organization that makes no
bones about its mission to push anti-animal agriculture regulations,
or any stiff regulatory reform on American farmers and ranchers. 

Just consider the goal of HSUS’ lead policy director and vegan activist,
J.P. Goodwin, who has gone on record by saying, “My goal is the
abolition of all animal agriculture.”

HSUS’ goal
is to provide relief to chickens, not provide food for humans.  Will
enriched cage systems truly satisfy the vegan animal rights organization
which has repeatedly wielded its bully tactics to gain a hold on animal
agriculture?  My prediction is no.  After all, the ultimate goal of
HSUS is about empty cages, not bigger cages. 

At
a time when jobs are scarce, and the looming possibility that
affordable food may become more difficult to come by, now is not the
time to stand by and allow an anti-egg-consuming animal rights organization
to righteously dictate the future of U.S. egg producers and the future
of our domestic food supply. 

Years ago, as an observation of foreign
oppression, Henry Kissenger once said,  “If you control the food supply,
you control the people.”  Today, Americans are facing food tyranny on
our own shores, which must be stopped. 

I implore everyone to contact
his or her U.S. representative and senator and urge them to vote no on this rotten egg bill, S. 3239, and its identical counterpart in the House, H.R. 3798.
