Anywho, these folks are dumping money into fighting the biggest animal initiative in the country.

From HSUS:

Animal Abuse by Any Other Name

It's more than obfuscation. It seems inadequate to call it a charade. Bald-faced lie comes a bit closer. Perfidious fraud feels about right to me.

I'm talking about Californians for Safe Food. A group with a name like that sounds like an advocate for passing the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act—the California ballot measure to phase out veal crates, gestation crates, and battery cages that will appear on the November general election ballot. But no, Californians for Safe Food is the creation of some of the biggest factory farms in the United States, and it's the official group opposing the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act.

Of course they can't call themselves Industrialized Factory Farms Seeking Profits at the Expense of Animals Committee. Or the Committee for Treating Animals Like Objects. We wouldn't expect that sort of suicidal honesty. But Californians for Safe Food? These people have no shame. Are there no limits to their duplicity?

Just this past week alone, egg factory farmers contributed more than half a million dollars to fight against this ballot measure to protect animals in California.
