(Brownfield Network) -- The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) will be holding Humane Lobby Days in Indiana and Illinois Tuesday, February 10 and in South Dakota on Wednesday, February 11. Last year, the group helped pass 93 news laws to advance animal welfare in the states, HSUS says, and have worked in Congress for a long time to address these issues, a spokesman said.
Nebraska livestock interests are keeping a watchful eye on activities of the HSUS in the Nebraska legislature, according to Nebraska Pork Producers Executive Director Larry Sitzman. “We are constantly on guard, we are constantly watching all bills and all language,” Sitzman says, “because it seems like this is an organization that has the resources, the people power and the dollars to see any weakness and try to exploit that to the maximum.”
