Special Report: Hsus Is A Voice For Animals In Nation's Capital
Special Report: Hsus Is A Voice For Animals In Nation's Capital
Special Reports
Power is the name of the game in Washington, D.C. Powerful voices representing every shade of opinion on nearly every subject are seeking constant attention from our lawmakers and civil servants. The Humane Society of the United States is likewise working and speaking for the millions of Americans who care about animals. HSUS is investigating federal agency animal management programs; testifying on Capitol Hill; providing expert advice to legislative committees and congressmen; taking legal action in federal courts; serving on advisory committees; and monitoring legislative, regulatory, and legal affairs having to do with animals.
The voice of The Humane Society …
Hsus Raids Save Suffering Dogs
Hsus Raids Save Suffering Dogs
Close Up Reports
In two raids separated by more than 1,000 miles, HSUS investigators seized several hundred suffering dogs, arranged for their care, and spurred legal action against the collector and breeder. Describing the two places as "cesspools", Frantz Dantzler, chief HSUS investigator, said "These two places were chosen for raids because they are typical of the many substandard puppy mills and kennels found in rural out-of-the-way America."
Both the Roseboom, New York Kennel and the Columbus, Kansas puppy mill had similar violations of humane standards and everyday common sense. Most of the seized animals had advanced cases of mange. Many animals had …
The Effect Of Straw On The Behaviour Of Sows In Tether Stalls, D. Fraser
The Effect Of Straw On The Behaviour Of Sows In Tether Stalls, D. Fraser
Housing and Confinement of Farm Animals Collection
The behaviour of sows in tether stalls with and without straw was studied in two experiments. Sows lay down more when 1 kg of straw was provided daily, especially when it was chopped and mixed wet with the food (dietary effect). Sows without straw performed a variety of stereotyped oral and other activities which were greatly reduced by the provision of loose straw that could be chewed and manipulated throughout the day (recreational effect). Sows were frequently seen standing or sitting motionless with the head drooping, probably in a state of drowsiness. This behaviour was virtually eliminated by full straw …

Social Stress And Welfare Problems In Agricultural Animals, D. G. M. Wood-Gush, I. J. H. Duncan, D. Fraser
Farm Animal Welfare Collection
Disruptions of an animal's social behaviour can, in some respects at least, mimic the effects of such classical stressors as infection and exposure to low temperatures. For example, Barnett (1958) found enlarged adrenals among wild rats which were subjected to attack by other rats in the laboratory. However, the experience of being attacked was not necessary for this physiological response, as the aggressors showed much the same changes as the victims. In fact Archer (1969) reported heightened adrenocortical activity among individually caged mice simply as a result of their being housed next to other mice, without actual physical contact. If …
Special Report On Abuses In The Pet Industry
Special Report On Abuses In The Pet Industry
Special Reports
The pet industry is creating maximum danger for animals and minimal satisfaction for customers. The problem is not just the pet shop but the entire system that has been developed to supply it. None of.the major dog breeding states has laws governing breeding operations. There are even fewer laws governing pet shops.
Extension Of Community Programs For Animal Protection, Milton B. Learner
Extension Of Community Programs For Animal Protection, Milton B. Learner
Animal Welfare Collection
My discussion today will cover the development and extension_ of humane activities at the state and local levels. This will include the work of a state federation, a comparison between federations and HSUS branches, and the cooperation in national programs by both-while extending such activities to the grassroots local societies. Whatever authority this speaker can muster on these subjects has been gained essentially, it must be remembered, during his tenure as President of the Indiana Federation of Humane Societies.
A state federation of humane societies is quite impressive in nomenclature. It implies united action, resulting in the exercise of power …
Symposium On Livestock Problems, John C. Macfarlane, F. J. Mulhern
Symposium On Livestock Problems, John C. Macfarlane, F. J. Mulhern
Agribusiness Collection
Part 1 - John C. Macfarlane
Livestock, animals raised in confinement, animals in large numbers shipped to other countries, and, of course, those cattle, calves, sheep, swine, goats, poultry and horses raised for the purpose of supplying meat for human and animal consumption will present problems that will increase in importance as long as they exist.
Humane problems involving livestock are a hundred times more important and much more complex today than they were a hundred years ago. What can societies do to prevent or reduce this reservoir of potential cruelty? I think we can do many things.
Part 2 …
Animal Shelter Programs And Policies, Edwin J. Sayres
Animal Shelter Programs And Policies, Edwin J. Sayres
Animal Welfare Collection
A discussion of policies and programs that, ideally, should be followed by humane societies in the operation of shelters and the limitations that are imposed by finances, local circumstances, and other factors is a substantial undertaking. I would like, first, to give you some background information about St. Hubert's Giralda and hope that what I have to say will contribute something to people confronted with the problems of shelter management and animal control programs.
Our methods and approach were basically acquired from material available through national and state organizations in this field. We are especially indebted to the Union County …
