Of course...I don't live in a cave. And have known for years what the Humane Society is really about.
Didn’t they publicly partner with PETA for a bit?
Then backpedaled when it came out that PETA was slaughtering animals?
Or was that something else?
Good for AG Pruitt. HSUS scams the public for big bucks and they’re spending much of it for their anti hunting movement.
They will stop all hunting if allowed to.
The Humane Society does not get a dime from me…because last time I went there to get a pet, the BUILDING was new, shiny, gorgeous and clearly built by a high-end builder who made a bundle on it. But it held fewer animals than the old building.
I support a more humble shelter organization in this town that places tons of pets and even rescues abused horses. My cat sends them a thank-you note every anniversary and includes a donation.
One is "The Humane Society" - I am not sure, but I believe they are above board and really dedicated to helping animals.
But The Humane Society of the United States is a rip-off, charlatan group.
At least that is what I understand.
But fake out people to give them money!! Then give that money to Politicians...and very little goes to "saving" anything.
The World Wildlife Fund...is no better.

I don’t think so..........
Can they only sue them for 19 bucks a month? What the heck is that all about anyway? All the charities want 19 bucks a month. Didn’t Calypso Louie already prove that the number 19 is an evil honky thing?
“The Humane Society does not get a dime from me…because last time I went there to get a pet...”
That’s a lot of the problem. HSUS is not what you think of as “the Humane Society”. They don’t run shelters. Shelters are generally run by an organization with a similar name but they are not HSUS. In my town the shelter is run by “Larimer Humane Society”, they are their own non-profit and not associated with HSUS. HSUS is just a PETA style group that chose a deceptive name to fool people into contributing to them.
While HSUS is suing folks, they should sue Charitynavigator.org for putting them under a donor advisory for deceptive practices.
I would say...investigate and ask questions before giving.....
I have a rescue Border Collie..and he's a prince. But got him from a local lady.
Had another rescue B.C. long time ago...same situation.
The CEO for the HSUS...is a dangerous lefty....
19 Planets
19 States
19 is the number!!
They’ve just about done that in Calif.
Here's two money paragraphs....
HSUS and animal rights groups the Fund for Animals, Animal Welfare Institute, Born Free USA (formerly the Animal Protection Institute), the Wildlife Advocacy Project, the law firm of Meyer, Glitzenstein & Crystal, and several current and former attorneys of that firm, paid the settlement for their involvement in the case brought under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) that the U.S. District Court ruled was "frivolous," "vexatious," and "groundless and unreasonable from its inception." Today's settlement also covers the related Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) case that Feld Entertainment filed against the groups after discovering they had paid a plaintiff for his participation in the original lawsuit and then attempted to conceal those payments.
In December 2012, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), a former co-defendant in the case, settled its share of the lawsuits by paying Feld Entertainment $9.3 million. Today's settlement brings the total recovered by Feld Entertainment to more than $25 million in legal fees and expenses, which the company actually spent in defending the ESA case.
Of course....I never heard of this news!! Someone should have had criminal charges....filed. Bribing/paying a witness!!?? They play dirty....just like the DemocratSocialists!!
Thank you very much for that info.
Wow is right...It’s really sad that the majority of the animal rights groups scam people that are unaware for many millions every year.
Most of them are anti-hunting, vegetarians, vegans or enviro groups using the Endangered Species Act to keep people off both public and private lands.
They try to associate themselves with honest animal shelters and recovery centers for their fund raising when in fact they’re ripoff artists.
There is a nice “no kill” animal adoption shelter in my city. They are independent and there is not a peep about the HSUS.
Those type shelters are the honest ones, I’ve read that HSUS gives less than 1% of the funds they receive to actual animal shelters.
