American Idol: Carrie Underwood Draws Negative Reaction From Hunting Groups For Her Support Of The Humane Society
Last week, season four American Idol winner Carrie Underwood, released her Motley Crue remake of Home Sweet Home which will be played on American Idol each week as a contestant makes their exit. A portion of the proceeds from the downloaded tune will be donated by Carrie Underwood to the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS).
Hunting groups across the US, especially the US Sportsman’s Alliance (USSA) are enraged by her generosity stating that the Humane Society does not oversee animal shelters, instead it is a radical organization that seeks to end hunting and other responsible uses of animals in America.
The US Sportsman’s Alliance (USSA), has asked that hunters write FOX Broadcasting requesting that American Idol not support the HSUS by using Carrie Underwood’s song.
The Humane Society does not feel that they are an “anti-hunting group” and on their website they state that they “seek a humane and sustainable world for all animals-a world that will also benefit people.”
They do not hide the fact however, that they are opposed to certain types of hunting. They state that they “confront national and global cruelties through major campaigns targeting the barbaric cruelties of…inhumane and unsporting hunting practices.”
Not to mention those incredibly sad and very long commercials with all the injured dogs and cats with Sarah McLaughlin.
