Not that animal protection is likely to be high on the next President’s list of priorities, but, for what it’s worth, the Humane Society recently endorsed Obama-Biden. Interestingly, it seems this is the first time they’ve ever endorsed a presidential candidate (they routinely endorse congressional candidates), but were moved to this time in large part by the sheer awfulness of Sarah Palin’s record on animal and wildlife issues. Joe Biden, by contrast, appears to be a strong supporter of animal protection measures.
