President Obama promised to eliminate wasteful government spending; funding for animal research is one area that is overdue for reform.

While the Humane Society was pretty happy with Vilsack as Obama's pick for the Department of Agriculture, the Farm Sanctuary is wary. Barack Obama has picked Tom Vilsack, former Governor of Iowa, to be the next Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Bauer is the president and co-founder of the Farm Sanctuary.

The following is a guest post from the amazing animal lovers of Adopt-a-Pet.com. Sadly there are 4 million healthy adoptable companion animals killed in shelters each year due to overcrowding. When that animal is available, I am notified the next time a pet matching my search is added on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

Whether we are environmentalists, animal rights activists, or simply supporters of democracy, we have to remain vigilant. I don't expect Barack Obama to be a god. Just because McCain and Palin lost this time around doesn't mean we can let our guard down. Americans are a skittish bunch. It doesn't take much to turn us.

Hard to wean people off animals when the US government is propping up the industries, and especially when so much of it ends up on school lunch trays (laying the foundation for this nation's obesity problem in my opinion.) Too bad it continues under Vilsack and Obama. I also have problems with subsidies to big agribusiness.

Most whites do not want to hear about racial problems, and President Obama would rather walk through fire than spend his time dealing with them. While whites use illegal drugs at substantially higher percentages than blacks, black men are sent to prison on drug charges at 13 times the rate of white men.

Environmental groups have called on Obama to get rid of the USDA's Dept. Animals killed also include threatened and endangered species, a number which has steadily increased since 2005. To accomplish this goal, they direct control methods at only the specific animal or local wildlife populations in the area where damage has occurred.
