Anybody can herd cattle. Holding together ten thousand half wild short hairs - that's another thing altogether.

I live Best Freidns out of Utah. After Katrina I donated to Best Friends, ASPCA and Humane Society because they were all helping pups and cats abandonded in New Orleans. Best Friends did the best job followed by ASPCA.
Sean Penn was there helping with his shot gun too. What a clown.
AAUW
PTA

Same with my wife and I, and we agree with you about ‘Best Friends’.
That said, on the local level the Humane Society is doing a great job here in my county of Ohio.
Then again, my wife is on the Board of Directors since last year.
HSUS in MA got Dog Racing banned. Next up is Horse Racing. Then the private ridership of horses.
PING!
The local Humane Society also does a good job. Actually 2 local HS. I think on a local level they do good works. At the national level probably not.
Doubt that last one will occur. I have no problem getting rid of dog or horse racing, for the simple reason I’ve been around both in my life, and know the abuse is ongoing in both, and very very real.
Thas how I see it.
Cat Racing!
PLEASE be aware that HSUS is for animal RIGHTS not animal WELFARE.
They do not give a damn about savings animals lives unless they can slant an incident and use it to further their agenda.
EQUALLY IMPORTANT! HSUS is NOT connected to your local humane society! HSUS INTENTIONALLY puts the words “humane society” on their name so the public would confuse them with local legitimate humane societies and the good works they do.
The ultimate goal of HSUS is a petless society and they believe animals have the same rights as humans and should be able to sue humans.
Due your DUE DILIGENCE before you donate funds to a pet shelter! You will discover your local pet adoption society DESPISES HSUS!
What about cat ranching?
Would you happen to have the sources you used to compile this information? Not that I believe the HSUS is an above-board organization — I used to be a regular benefactor, but ended my giving in 2000 after finding out about the animal shelter situation you outlined in #1.
Best Friends is truly a worthy organization. I had the pleasure of visiting in 2007.
I see it every time the dogs want to have some fun with our cat.
He usually wins, but when he doesn’t we know by the dog yelp....(chuckle)
Does Best Friends have a website or address so that they can be contacted?
Thank you.
HSUS is a small step up from PETA. The local shelter does wonderful work - but they are not HSUS. I only found out this year that HSUS doesn’t operate & fund the local shelters. My mistake for ever giving them a penny, since none of it went where I thought it was going!
