got this in my email from the humane society do not vote for this woman if you are in Iowa She is again all animal welfare reform. If you’re from Iowa, you probably already know it. It goes something like this. An out-of-touch politician in Des Moines opposed nearly every common-sense animal welfare policy presented to her. She voted to allow puppy mills to operate with impunity—and wouldn’t even agree to hold them responsible for the costs to care for their dogs when the dogs had to be seized by law enforcement. She voted to authorize the target shooting of mourning doves, songbirds who’d been protected for 100 years in Iowa. She voted for the “ag-gag” bill to silence and jail whistleblowers and journalists who expose cruelty on corporate factory farms. (Maybe you see where this is going? If youre already convinced we need to do something about this type of nonsense, please click to make your gift now.) According to the latest polls, this candidate, Joni Ernst, is in a neck-and-neck race with Bruce Braley, a strong supporter of animal protection. Braley’s record on animal welfare couldn’t be more different than Ernst’s: He worked in Congress to crack down on puppy mills. He stood up for chimps and horses and helped pass a law to make it a crime to attend a dogfight or cockfight. He supports strong enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act and the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act. And he doesn’t side with those who are abusing animals.
