How true about HSUS.
Most people confuse them with their local animal shelter such as the SPCA. This is done on purpose. They want people to think they are giving money to support their local animal shelter. However, they and PETA are one of the largest killers of dogs and cats in the USA. They do not rehome animals. They confiscate and kill them.
Also, the other great myth they continue to spread is that there is problem with overpopulation of dogs in the US. This is not true in general. Certain states in the south(AL, MS, LA, AR) have dog problems. However, in most of the country responsible owners spay and neuter the dogs. This has caused shelters, especially in the northeast, to import dogs from the Carribean because there are not enough dogs turned into the shelters locally. They make money on “rehoming” dogs. That is their product. They need a consistant supply to run their business.
Exactly. You know, it’s funny how the culture has changed since I was a kid. I know almost no one, outside of show people, who don’t spay/neuter their dog or cat. Few people want to live with an unaltered animal. Things have changed a lot in the past 30 years.
