Protests at HSUS Event

Last month, the Humane Society of the United States held its annual gala at the posh Cipriani on 42nd Street in midtown Manhattan. If tax records are any indicator, the event loses money; HSUS’s tax return shows a net negative income for the event last year. But it does help HSUS hobnob with NY’s socialites and wealthiest residents.

It can’t help, however, that a crowd showed up to protest HSUS. We’ve had a presence at the last two galas, making sure attendees know the facts about HSUS. But this year, the World Dog Alliance, a Hong Kong-based charity, showed up to tell its story to potential HSUS donors. The Alliance, as you may remember, is suing HSUS for fraud after HSUS allegedly took a $500,000 grant and didn’t make good on its promises.

Here’s some video of the protest.

    National animal rights groups like the HSUS, PETA and the ASPCA have become urban concentrated vegan cults. They raise millions of dollars by pretending to take care of dogs and cats, then spend it on attacks on agriculture and hunting. Local shelters complain about their aggressive fund raising sucking up all the money, so animals go wanting. ALL THREE HAVE CONCOCTED STORIES ABOUT ANIMAL ABUSE. They have little or no experience with the animals they claim to protect and either misconstrue legitimate animal husbandry or take isolated instances of animal cruelty and say they are the norm. Their goal is to stop hunting by increments, passing laws against individual methods of hunting or shorten hunting seasons. They get away with this because of the urban population of the US is separated from its food production and large or wild animals. The country has become a society of small pet owners who view livestock the same as small lap dogs. If these groups have their way, primates will have the same rights as humans and meat eating will be outlawed. According to Bloomberg Financial Reports, their attack on food production is already causing an increase in cost. So unless you want to end up paying $10.00 a doz. for eggs, $20.00 a lb. for bacon $30.00 a lb. for chicken and $50.00 a lb. for beef, don’t support these groups.
