They are not our local humane societies (but a good play on the word!). The tactics they used in California were despicable, read about them for yourself: http://www.consumerfreedom.com/news_detail.cfm/headline/3571 Check out their website and see waht their definition of 'humane' eating is- vegan/vegetarian. I saw free help for conveting to a vegetarian diet, a tofurkey recipe. They have no stake in Ohio, our animals, people, economy or jobs. The tactics used in California (there's more unethical incidences) are not what we need in Ohio from a national lobbying group. I think it was 2004 we passed a ballot to amend the constitution concerning marriage. How "constitutional" is being used as an arguement doesn't add up. I'm voting YES on Issue 2 because I checked it out for myself.

Vote YES on Issue 2 - Amy Reynolds Sat, 17 Oct 2009 20:05:17 +0100 http://www.presspublications.com/from-the-press/2864-issue-2-a-turning-point-for-ohio-agriculture#comment-223 As a Farm Bureau member I worked on our local committee to find ways to fight and defeat HSUS and PETA at their own game. My problem with this constitutional amendment is the excessive power it places in the hands of a 13 member group of non-elected bureaucrats. This issue should not have been a constitutional amendment. The same objective to thwart PETA and HSUS could have been accomplished by including the key words "agricultural best management practices for such care and well-being” in section 900 of the Ohio Revised Code. The big question for me is, “What did it take to twist the arms of all the members of both the House and Senate to make them take such a draconian measure?” If we change the Constitution every time the wind blows from the wrong direction, what value remains in it? What next? Change the US Constitution to remove free speech and religious freedom? VOTE NO on ISSUE 2 - Thomas Jones Thu, 15 Oct 2009 19:27:33 +0100
