Disrespect for animals

In February, the United States Department of Agriculture brazenly removed all inspection reports and records regarding animal research, puppy mill neglect and cruelty in slaughterhouses, aquariums and animal transport from its website. This prevents animal welfare organizations from monitoring the egregious mistreatment and neglect of countless millions of animals. The current GOP-controlled government has an appalling disrespect for the well-being and lives of animals in addition to lacking empathy for the poorest and most disenfranchised members of human society.
