I don’t think the problem is with the bank but with the idiots that would sign up for the card thinking they are helping save some pets. It wouldn’t matter if it was Wells Fargo or US Bank. If people are dumb enough to support the HSUS than they get what they deserve.

Its on all of us to educate and inform the public about the truth of what the HSUS is actually about and hope that the truth prevails.

Following is my note to BOA yesterday – I am a current customer of BOA and Merrill Lynch. I would like to continue to be a customer in the future. However, the BOA/HSUS credit card is a direct insult to my occupation as a farmer/rancher. HSUS has stated several hundred times that they are going to destroy my industry using any tactics possible, I guess BOA is now one of their tactics? Please review this decision and reverse it as I know thousands of farmers and ranchers will be withdrawing BOA funds and canceling BOA credit cards as a result of this action.
Thank you,

Thanks for your comment Carol. Before you dismiss the previous comment you might want to read a response letter from BOA: http://cattlenetwork.com/top40_Content.asp?ContentID=326056.

First of all, this card is not new. It’s a long standing partnership.

Second, yea, that reply sounds real “professional”.

Our farm has banked with BofA for a long time and I was disappointed to see the card supporting HSUS. I contacted our rep (he had been out this week to visit our operation) and he responded. He is a senior v.p. with BofA and here is his response:

“Believe me—We know all about the HSUS and how they haven’t saved a single pet. They disgust us enough that we used our Ag ties with UC Davis and funded the study to defeat Prop 2 last year. Unfortunately the Bay Area and So Cal voters had their way with Ag as usual and the study was not enough to bring voters to see the light of day.

With respect to the credit card program—This was not a historical BofA card. We inherited that card program when we acquired MBNA. It was a long term program they have with the HSUS and even though we brought to light the fact that these guys are boarder line crooks we most likely would have lost a legal battle trying to break it. So sorry to say we must live it with for the time being. We know the roots of BofA are in Ag and these guys are the arch enemy of ag. Yes, were in a awkward situation and Yes no one likes it.

Sometimes the world is just too small a place. ”

Gives me some hope for the company.
