After More Than a Decade of Providing the Public With Access to Animal Welfare Records, the USDA Suddenly Pressed ‘Delete’ On Its Online Database, Which Includes Info on Whether Animals Are Being Treated Humanely At Facilities Across the Country
Following USDA’s Decision, Schumer Says USDA Must Re-establish Transparency & Help Deter Future Animal Welfare Violations
Schumer: Animal Advocates Should Not Have To Play Tug Of War On Transparency With New Administration’s USDA
U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today called on the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to reverse its decision to remove inspection reports on animal facilities and related animal cruelty information from its website. The USDA annually inspects approximately 9,000 licensed facilities including dog and cat breeding facilities, laboratories and more. Over the past decade, the USDA has provided the public with information on compliant and non-compliant licensees by posting inspection reports on its website. Schumer and his colleagues, which include Senator Menendez (D-NJ), wrote to the Acting Deputy Secretary of the USDA and asked that public access to animal welfare records be restored immediately
“When it comes to protecting animals and potential pets, the Trump administration’s USDA has just dropped the ball by doing away with access to information that safeguards vulnerable animals and outs abusive puppy mills,” said U.S. Senator Charles Schumer. “

What the .... NOW?! This is insane.
This has to be a joke.
Tell me someone hacked into Schumers .gov acct and set this up.
The link seems to be there, but it doesn’t come up.
Who would run the Government?
How long before the media starts slamming Trump because there is no dog in the White House.
(yeah, I know Michelle has gone but that’s not what I mean)
IOWs Schumer has no idea who or when. He's just throwing crap at the wall to see what sticks.
Whatever happened to Obongo’s mutts? probably were sent over to Comet Pizza for abuse.
The functions that are reserved by the constitution to the states and the people will be run by the states and the people. Then feds can run the military, the border patrol, the foreign service, the federal courts, the mint, the post office, the patents office, etc., per Article I, Section 8. The 10th amendment reserves all other powers to the states and the people.
Don’t look now, Chuckie, but has Obamma eaten Bo yet?
“the guys been in office for 3 weeks. hahahahaha... Oh my gawd.”
These dimoKKKRATS are going insane.
And have they been examining the cruel halal killing facilities?
Time to take a look at those. Or is that an Islam-protected slaughter?
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
Sonny Perdue confirmation hearing date? Did Schumer lose count or is he simply threatening to strangle puppies until he gets his way? It seems you can’t pick up a Schumer by the clean end.
Schumer is where he should be protecting farm animals
He's Frank Costanza except everyday is Festivus and he skips the feats of strength and goes straight to the airing of grievances.
If true, then Schumer is right.
However, we all know Chuck lies like the dog he is, so I suspect there’s much more to this story.
Oh that is the TRUTH!!!! ROFLMAO...don’t stand between Chucky and a camera, you get killed!!!
Time compression scheme the dishonest media uses to hoodwink the public based on the need of large amounts of the public to have a happy ending to every narrative. 3 weeks becomes 3 years and Trump should have solved all problems by the wave of his hand on the first day! If animal cruelty issues have been going on then they were occurring under Obama!
