Protect Your Pet | Protect America

Led by the great pretender—The Humane Society of the United States—EXTREME
animal rights organizations beg for money under the false pretense of animal
welfare, but their money is actually used to disrupt all animal agriculture, hunting,
fishing and even pet ownership. Donations to these organizations are not
intended to help local animal shelters, which are located within and supported by
their local communities.

Protect The Harvest was created to defend and preserve the freedoms of
American consumers, farmers, ranchers, outdoor enthusiasts, and animal owners.

OUR MISSION: Inform. Protect. Respond. @Protect Harvest
/ProtectTheHarvest
INFORM /ProtectTheHarvest
America’s consumers, businesses and decision-makers
about the threats posed by animal rights groups and anti-
farming extremists.
PROTECT
Our freedoms and way of life by creating lasting legal
safeguards for farmers, ranchers, hunters, anglers, and
animal owners.
RESPOND
To the activities of radical groups by opposing their efforts
to pass laws or enact regulations that would restrict our
rights, limit our freedoms, and hinder our access to safe,
affordable food.
