USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Isn't Doing Its Job and They Know It.

USDA Inspector General's Audit Report: 33601-0002-31 "Animal Care Program Oversight of Dog Breeders."

APHIS is responsible for enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act. The agency not doing its job is like all the cops being on vacation at the same time.

There's really no one policing APHIS. This is just the latest scathing report on APHIS from the USDA's Inspector General's Office.

Excerpts from the summary:

"We identified data reliability issues with reports generated from APHIS’ Animal Care Information System (ACIS) database. This occurred because the agency no longer has a data manager for ACIS, and several large patches to the system have made it unreliable. As a result, APHIS is impeded in its ability to make informed management decisions, identify trends in noncompliant items, and identify how many inspections have been completed."

We also found that APHIS did not consistently address complaints it received or adequately document the results of its follow-up. This occurred because APHIS does not have a documented process for responding to complaints or for recording the results of the agency’s actions. As a result, some dog breeder facilities may be conducting regulated activity without a USDA license or oversight. Therefore, APHIS is not able to ensure the overall health and humane treatment of animals at these facilities."

"APHIS agreed with our findings."

The vaccination problem.

The risk of acquiring or transmitting covid (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, or SARS-CoV-2,) is reduced in vaccinated humans. It isn't clear to me that that is sufficient reason to get vaccinated.

Try as I might, I haven't been able to find the details on all the vaccines' production methods. I don't get a flu shot because I don't want to be part of the reason that chickens are hurt and killed.

If I was stranded on a desert island with a dog, a chicken, or a human I could overcome, I wouldn't kill and eat them even if I would starve to death otherwise. The risk of getting and dying from Covid is lower than the risk of starving to death when stranded on a desert island.

I suspect that the mRNA vaccines use fewer animals in their producton, but, as I mentioned above, mRNA production details are hard to find.

At 68, I'm in a high-risk group. At my day job, I interact with the public. We are all masked, and when we are the closest and I'm speaking with them, there is generally a barrier between us. When I shop for groceries, I wear a mask and avoid being very close to other shoppers. I use self-checkout even though I'd prefer to help create a job by being checked out by a clerk. At the dog parks, no one is masked, but we are outdoors, and I keep my distance.

I wish I knew about the mRNA vaccine production methods.

For the record, the primate vivisection industry's claims about the need for monkeys in the development of the Covid vaccines rings hollow to me. Vivisectors have claimed that just about everything is the direct result of their experiments on animals. I've debunked many of these, and in the process of reading the history of medicine and the historical details behind many of the drugs and treatments ballyhooed by the vivisectors, I've learned that their claims can never be taken at face value. If their claims about the use of monkeys was the only mention of animals being used I might go ahead and get vaccinated because their claims are almost always bogus.

Cruelty pretending to be heroics at UW-Madison

Why are Chancellor Blank and vet school Dean Markell grinning? Does he imagine extra space for more hideous experiments on dogs and other animals like the ones he has conducted? [For example: rabbits, rats, and dogs]. Does she think her bosses, the Board of Regents, will extend her contract? Is she completely in the dark about the terrible things done to animals at the vet school? We need more sifting and winnowing.

There is something particularly distasteful, hideous in fact, about those who hurt and kill animals and at the same time portray themselves as “heroes” for animals. This would be like Joseph Mengele declaring himself a hero for children if something he discovered by experimenting on children turned out to be in some way beneficial to other children. A better example might be J. Marion Sims.

Sims, the “father of genecology” conducted experiments on enslaved Black women (and children) that led to improvements in gynecological care for women. His work is a textbook example of the ends not being justified by the means. He could and should have found unenslaved women willing to take part in his experiments.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison is expanding its vet school. See the hype here and here.

Not mentioned anywhere in the propaganda are the terrible things done to animals at the vet school. I’ve pointed to a tiny fraction of them here.

People get rich by hurting the most vulnerable among us and they declare themselves heroes. No one but a tiny few seem to notice the dark irony. Local media jumps on-board. On matters concerning the terrible things done to animals there is next to no investigative journalism.

We live in a very sick world.
