The Humane Society of the United States, also known as the HSUS (H$U$), the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Non-Human Project, Animal Legal Defense Fund and many other animal rights groups are all lobbying for pet legislation to take away your rights to own and breed pets. They are lobbying for rights above those of a human, allowing your pet to obtain an attorney and sue you for what these groups consider are infractions or violations. Included in this section of Pet Breeders and Owners are several articles that will inform you about these groups and their activities, as well as the consequences and unintended consequences of these activities.
