Animal rights extremists like the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), and the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) seek to put an end to animal ownership. In their eyes, animals should share rights with humans and some of the most extreme among them equate animal ownership to slavery. Their goal of abolishing animal ownership and animal breeding is an extreme view not known by many.
For almost half a century, animal rights extremists have put considerable funding behind efforts to end animal entertainment and competitions. They have pursued legislation, deployed propaganda, lobbied Congress, and distorted the truth, as they continually harass entertainers and animal competition organizations. This includes rodeo events, horse shows, animals in movies, and dog shows, among other things.
Unfortunately, they have quietly been making progress. They need to be stopped. The first step to stopping these radical organizations and their activities is by being informed.

Ask the experts! Wondering how to rate the power of an electric fence? We can help you. Electric fence chargers are rated in either joules or miles of fence they energize.
There really is no industry standard for electric fence ratings... Each fence charger manufacturer estimates the power of the fencer using an equation of voltage, amps and time of fence shock... That is the joule rating...
some companies rate in miles of wire it can handle... For example 2 miles.. Well these numbers can be rounded up for marketing purposes... As we have seen in cheaper fence charger brands..
Make sure you buy a good fence charger with more power than you need. I think it's like building a barn... Always build it for twice the stuff you have.

The HSUS and PETA are busy influencing children, spreading their agenda from the ground floor. In 2015, we wrote an article about PETA2 and their methods for indoctrinating children. While it appears the HSUS doesn’t have creepy and horrific games designed to influence kids like PETA2 does, they do have a big machine set up for delivery via our school programs.
It starts with their Certified Humane Education Specialist program. The webpage states, “ The … program is designed to help classroom teachers, school administrators, youth outreach professionals, shelter directors, humane education specialists and humane law enforcement officers enhance their credentials and effectively use their limited time and resources to infuse humane education into current prosocial programs. The courses center on activities, readings and field-tested strategies for working with children, teens, school faculty and youth leaders.”
The HSUS provides a “plug and play” program that is extremely easy for educators to implement. They have a magazine, videos, classroom activities, worksheets and coloring books. Their classroom worksheets feature “information about animals and animal issues”. One worksheet makes students count shelter animals and place them in homes. Wait a second, didn’t Wayne Pacelle lie to Senator Inohof of Oklahoma, that they don’t mislead people about providing funding for shelters? Sorry, we got off track there…
They also have a program to get kids involved in “animal protection” and how to form clubs. Pacelle’s introduction states, “…millions of animals in other situations need a hand too. Life is tough on tigers and elephants in circuses. It is hard on cows, pigs, and chickens in big, factory-style farms.”, and “This booklet will guide you…You’ll also learn the basics of spreading the word in your community, raising funds for animals, and lobbying (asking lawmakers to give their support). By taking part in the Mission: Humane projects, you’ll be part of a nationwide group of kids working to help all animals—from hounds to hens—where they need it most.”
The HSUS and PETA are not going to give up. They are working on every avenue they can think of to push their agenda. If you do not want PETA or the HSUS influencing your kids, pay attention to what they are viewing online and what they are learning in the classroom.

Think cattle ranching, or any other ranching or farming operation is easy?
It takes dedication to succeed.
Take the good with the bad, adapt and adjust.
But always push forward.

A little humor, with more than a tinge of truth, for our Saturday evening.
The following was forwarded to me by a friend, but the original language was not appropriate for a diverse community such as ours.
So a re-write was needed, while keeping the original context in tact as much as possible.
Hope you find the humor!
"An environmental Club and the U. S. Forest Service were presenting an alternative to the Wyoming ranchers for controlling the coyote population. It seems that after years of the ranchers using the tried and true method of shooting or trapping the predators, the Club had a "more humane" solution to this issue. What they were proposing was for the animals to be captured alive. The males would then be castrated and let loose again. This was ACTUALLY proposed by the Club and by the U. S. Forest Service.
All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes. Finally an old fellow wearing a big cowboy hat in the back of the conference room stood up, tipped his hat back and said, "Son, I don't think you understand our problem here. These coyotes ain't breeding our sheep to death; they're eatin' 'em!"
The meeting never really got back to order."
Often, it is better to look at the entire problem, rather than seeking a "solution" for a microcosm of the problem. And more often than not, the past gives lessons we have yet to learn ourselves!
Hope this made you laugh, if only for a brief moment.
