In a recent mailing, Madeline Bove, Media Relations Specialist for the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), reported on the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) to be held November 6-18 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.  The Global Animal Protection Organization and Humane Society International, will participate in the Conference and will host events in the Food4Climate pavilion.

Multinational animal welfare and rights organizations are clearly supporting environmental mitigation with the same cynical intent they display to intensive livestock production. They are not interested in global warming or flock and herd welfare per se.  They recognize that the environmental movement serves as a vehicle to further their vegan agenda, including promotion of plant-based foods and demonizing livestock production.

The intent of Humane Society International and its subsidiaries in many industrialized nations, is encapsulated in a quotation by Steffi McNerney, an officer of the HSUS. She stated “We need policies that support a more resilient, plant-centric global food system with concrete measures for supporting diet change.  That includes a shift in procurement when public funds are involved; shifting diets to healthier, plant-rich models; supporting farmers in transitioning to more sustainable, plant-based agriculture.”
