HSUS Can’t Stand the Heat

On Friday, sparks flew on Alan Warren Outdoors, a Texas-based radio show. HSUS CEO Wayne Pacelle went on to explain his organization’s position on hunting and fishing. Warren, a hunting advocate, pressed Pacelle hard on what kind of hunting HSUS supports. And then we called in to debate Wayne about his animal rights group’s deceptive practices on the whole.

You’d think a slick politician like Pacelle, especially given the size of his ego, would be happy to try to talk his way around our criticism of his organization. But instead, he spouted off a few insults and then hung up.

HSUS Support Plummets

Posted on December 12, 2012

In a recent online article, “Unpacking the HSUS Gravy Train (2012 Edition)” the watchdog group Humane Watch, reveals some interesting news about the Humane Society of the United States. Perhaps most interesting is that HSUS financial support dropped by $8.5 million in 2011.

The report notes that HSUS’s overall total revenue actually dropped by 10% thanks to declining public support and losses in investment income. That Humane Watch report also indicates that grants made by HSUS for the purpose of aiding pet sheltering appear to make up about only 0.25% (one-quarter of one percent) of HSUS’s budget. It seems that all the negative publicity surrounding the HSUS is beginning to take a toll—at the bank.

This online Humane Watch report also notes that HSUS had fundraising-related expenses of $48.1 million, or a whopping 38 percent of its total budget, in 2011. Another interesting fact is that HSUS added another $2.4 million to its pension plan, bringing the total to about $17 million since Wayne Pacelle took over as CEO in 2004. They are planning for their future while suffering animals seem to be ignored. Read more

Wolverine Trapping Suspended in Montana

A judge ordered a temporary restraining order and halted the trapping of wolverines in Montana.  Of course the whacko groups are behind this one, as usual, but could they be right this time?  The USFWS was conducting an evaluation relative to the Endangered Species List but ran out of money for the study – in no small part because of having to pay the whacko groups attorneys’ fees for so many frivolous suits.  In any case, the season has been suspended and details of the wolverines’ plight are here…
