Missouri Cattlemen's Association Supports North Dakota Vote to Protect Animal Agriculture

Missouri Cattlemen's Association Supports North Dakota Vote to Protect Animal Agriculture
After the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) moved into the state of North Dakota with a radical agenda, the state's agriculture, sportsmen and animal owner's grouped together to successfully defeat Measure 5.


Those who worked together in opposition of Measure 5 formed the North Dakota Animal Stewards. They worked to educate those across their state on the truth of the issue.


"We commend the voters of North Dakota for pushing back on the animal rights extremist group HSUS," said Missouri Cattlemen's Association (MCA) Executive Vice President Mike Deering. "MCA was honored to assist our counterpart in North Dakota, the North Dakota Animal Stewards and Missouri Farmer's Care, in educating people about this extremist group, who is determined to put farmers and ranchers out of business."


Measure 5 would have made it a class "C" felony for cruelty to dogs, cats and horses. On the North Dakota Animal Stewards website, Jason Schmidt, North Dakota Stockmen's Association president and a fourth-generation Medina, N.D., farmer and rancher, says "It is poorly worded by design to give animal rights groups like the HSUS a foothold in North Dakota to make more sweeping changes later, like they've done in places like Missouri, California and other states."


Deering said North Dakota's victory sends a clear message to activists that voters are not as easy to manipulate as they think.


"MCA was honored to assist our counter part in North Dakota, the North Dakota Animal Stewards and in educating people about this extremist group, who is determined to put farmers and ranchers out of business."


Only one-third of one percent of the funds for organizations supporting Measure 5 came from inside the state of North Dakota.
