Nebraska rancher is removed from Humane Society post
A rancher from central Nebraska’s Sherman County has left the
chairmanship of the Humane Society of the United States’ Ag Advisory
Group. Kevin Fulton, of Litchfield, says he was removed from the post by the
society’s CEO, Wayne Pacelle. Fulton says a minority of the members
promote veganism and give agriculture a bad name. Fulton says, “There’s a very strong faction of vegan abolitionists

promoting an event called ‘The Future of Food and Farming’ that didn’t
include any farmers or food producers, which I thought was unusual,”
Fulton says. “Yet they brought in a very radical keynote speaker who
promotes bestiality. He says it’s wrong to eat animals but it’s okay to
have sex with them, as long as you don’t harm them.”...more
