URGE THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE US TO OPPOSE THE PERU FTA

Despite the threat to animals posed by this agreement, Humane Society International, the global arm of the Humane Society of the United States, testified before Congress in support of the environmental provisions of this agreement on July 12th, 2006. You can read their testimony at http://freetradekillsanimals.org/?page=PeruHSUSResponse. To read Global Justice for Animals' response to HSUS' testimony, visit http://freetradekillsanimals.org/?page=ForkanPeru.

Global Justice for Animals views HSUS/HSI's stand as well-intentioned, but terribly misguided. In years past, HSUS was one of the leading voices in opposition to the North American Free Trade Agreement and the World Trade Organization. The animal advocacy community NEEDS HSUS/HSI to apply its resources, influence and expertise to STOP the passage of the Peru Free Trade Agreement and the impending Colombia Free Trade Agreement.

Please POLITELY call, fax, email or send a letter to HSUS/HSI to express your disappointment with their present stance on this issue, and your hope that they will oppose the Peru and Colombia Free Trade Agreements.
