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.

PING!
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!
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.
