Animal abuse and de-regulation of the meat industry could be in America's future if Forrest Lucas is allowed to remain on Donald Trump's Agricultural Advisory Committee.
This is the man who founded an organization called "Protect the Harvest," which is considered an anti-animal welfare group dedicated to fighting the Humane Society.
These attempts stuff more money into the pockets of big agriculture by de-regulating the meat, dairy, and egg industries and reversing any progress made to protect cows, chickens, pigs, and other farm animals from horrifying living conditions, cruel methods of slaughter, and outright abuse.
It also protects the "right" of circuses to exploit animals like elephants, forcing them to live in cages and perform unnatural acts for human entertainment.
Additionally, efforts have been made to stop animal rights activists from establishing
felony-level punishments for deliberate and hateful cruelty to dogs, cats, and horses.
He's even fought against regulating puppy mills.
The profits of companies should not be put before the basic rights of living beings.
Not only does Forrest Lucas seem to want to maintain the suffering that so many animals have to endure on a daily basis for the benefit or entertainment of human beings, his actions actually seem to increase the abuse.
Now, he's been handpicked by Donald Trump to advise him on issues of agriculture and animals through the campaign and beyond, if he becomes president (God forbid).
Please sign our petition to demand that Donald Trump stop taking advice from this
anti-animal welfare activist.

Four years ago, many complained about the fact that Mitt Romney once took a vacation with his dog strapped to the top of his car. That might not have been the ultimate demise of the Romney campaign, but for people who love animals, it demonstrated a cruel streak that many said made him unfit to be president.
Donald Trump doesnt have a dog story quite like that, mainly because theres no record hes ever had a dog, or for that matter, any pet. While that isnt in and of itself that unusual, Trump has repeatedly shown that he too has a cruel streak when it comes to animals, and in particular, dogs.
Keith Olbermann hilariously demonstrated that in a video, Why is Donald Trump Such a Weirdo About Dogs?
