After targeting People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals for years and more recently focusing on The Humane Society of the United States -- in efforts to discredit both organizations -- the CCF isn't going to like the results of a new survey.
The study, commissioned by the pro-agribusiness Center for Food Integrity, found that most consumers are
twice as likely to believe the Humane Society of the United States and People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals over farm organizations when it comes to humane treatment of farm animals.All that money animal ag is giving to the CCF, and these are the results? That's gotta hurt.
After HSUS and PETA, farm animal veterinarians, USDA and university experts ranked next, followed by state and national farm organizations and small livestock farmers. Large-scale livestock farmers ranked last in animal welfare credibility.Charlie Arnot, the CEO of the Center for Food Integrity, theorized that the more an organization (or company) profits from animal ag, the less trustworthy it appears. Of course. For animal ag the bottom line is what matters, animals be damned.

Charlie Arnot is correct, if there is a profit being made off of an animal...the profiteer should not be trusted. I like it, a nice, concise way to judge the morality of a corporation's behavior.
Problem is that Charlie Arnot is basically running a "push" poll. He wants the worst results possible (or the "best" possible for PETA and HSUS), because he's currently trying to get a multi-million-dollar project approved that would use check-off dollars. The government needs to see a reason why Charlie's snake oil is needed. Thus the poll.
