The Humane Society, IMHO, is overzealous, and most likely controlled by those we'd consider too liberal or too left. But, that doesn't mean that they are wrong on everything. Myself, I donate at the local level, and volunteer as an animal rescue transporter now.

I think jail time was inappropriate. Rather, the dogs should not have been fed for several days, poked with sticks, the man smeared in animal fat, and his pups let in the cell. Cruel and unusual? Perhaps. Justice? I think so.

I usually prefer the local level too. The ASPCA here in Houston is a really good organization. During the floods last year I spent a lot of time with them helping out.

Oh I am all for the stupid owner to get his just rewards, I like your idea. :-)

I donate at the local level,

The HSUS has no Local Level! They are not affiliated with your local humane societies.

It is your best bet to stick with your local groups though! No Kill shelters if you can find one!

I also agree with YOUR version of justice!
