Representatives from HSUS, ASPCA, and CIWF 'animal protection' organizations presently sit on the board of directors for the 'Global Animal Partnership', the group behind misleading 'animal welfare certified' labels at Whole Foods Markets. Unfortunately, these marketing buzzwords mean nothing for animals raised and killed for food.
PETA: The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), and Compassion in World Farming (CIWF) promote the factory farming industry. Representatives from these “animal protection” organizations presently sit on the board of directors for the Global Animal Partnership, the group behind misleading “animal welfare certified” labels at Whole Foods Markets.

In a video released by PETA, Cromwell—who received the award during the HSUS 60th Anniversary Gala in 2014—says, “As much as I hate to do this, I’m moving this award from my mantle to the only place it really deserves: the garbage. It saddens me. But it saddens me more to realize that HSUS is betraying the animals who depend on them for their protection”…
PETA is placing 25 large “Don’t Trust The Label” fly-posters near the ASPCA office in New York City and 15 large sidewalk decals near the HSUS office in Washington, D.C., the week of November 11 to increase the pressure on HSUS and the ASPCA to stop supporting factory farms…
