HSUS loses farmers on advisory council.

 
A few years ago, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) Nebraska farmer Kevin Fulton as the kind of holistic, free-range farmer that embodies how the group believes farming and ranching should be done. HSUS said it acted on Fulton’s suggestion when it began putting together state advisory councils that advocated against gestation crates and other controversial “factory farming” techniques. But much of that good will has evaporated. Fulton, in long and scathing Facebook messages, said he was pushed out and many other farmers have quit the state councils. He said they are demanding HSUS stop using their names and likenesses.   “We feel like you have used our images long enough to your benefit and we no longer want to be associated with your disingenuous organization! Some of us asked that they be removed a long time ago,” Fulton said in a posting. “What the hell is wrong with you people? Update your website.”
