Wayne Pacelle of the Humane Society of the United States paid a visit to the studios of The Ellen DeGeneres Show to discuss something both he and Ellen are both passionate about.
The number of Ag-Gag bills across the country have been increasing and this could pose a problem for undercover investigators that wish to film acts of animal cruelty on farms to seek prosecution.
“We at the Humane Society of the United States rescue a lot of animals,” Pacelle says in the clip.
“We also work to prevent animal cruelty. That means taking out factory farming, seal clubbing and all sorts of problems. I’m seeing more and more states considering what are called Ag-gag or anti-whistle blower bills. And we have undercover investigator who find terrible things at factory farms or puppy mills or horse stables. And they’re trying to make it a crime for use to take pictures or videos of animals in these settings.”
Pacelle goes on to discuss how these investigations have lead to important changes in animal welfare.

Wayne said that the HSUS rescues a lot of animals. He’s a con artist of the lowest order. Fact Check:
HSUS rescues very, very few animals. HSUS takes credit for rescues they have little or (more often) nothing to do with. That’s one of the reasons their entire Emergency Response Team quit. And why the Louisiana Attorney General spent 18 months waiting for an accounting of how HSUS used $35 million they fraudulently raised for Hurricane Katrina. HSUS lawyers had to resort to a legal loophole in order to escape criminal charges and used the same legal disclaimer to fleece the public after Hurricane Sandy.
