HSUS Gets Low Marks – Still

The April/May charity guide of the American Institute of Philanthropy/CharityWatch is out—and HSUS once again earns an “unsatisfactory” grade of “D.” Even PETA isn’t that low (C+). HSUS has now earned a “D” grade for almost two years.

CharityWatch finds that HSUS spends as little as 50 percent of its budget on actual programs—meaning up to half of HSUS’s budget is reserved for overhead costs like tens of millions spent on fundraising.

Non-Humans Don’t Get Constitutional Protection

Both historic and contemporary sources reveal that the terms “slavery” and “involuntary servitude” refer only to persons. In 1864, the term “slavery” was defined as “[t] he condition of a slave; the state of entire subjection of one person to the will of another.” .??.??. The clear language and historical context reveal that only human beings, or persons, are afforded the protection of the 13th Amendment.  Of course, PETA argued against the common sense of the ruling above, while SeaWorld was found innocent of enslaving whales.  More here…

Idaho Wolf Trapper Offends Critics

Anja Heister, executive director for Footloose Montana, a Missoula-based  nonprofit organization trying to ban trapping in Montana, says a trapper’s decision to pose  for a photograph crosses ethical boundaries and is inhumane.

In response, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game  completed an investigation into the incident and concluded that the trapper did not commit any  legal violations.

USSA Launches New Blog – Protect What’s Right

GW:  Haven’t visited my friends’ site yet, but this sure looks like it’ll be a good place to network with people that are plugged in to current issues affecting sportsmen.  I am a proud member of the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance, because I want people like this fighting for my innate rights.  They take the whack jobs head on!

Today the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance launched a new blog that will be the place where American hunters, anglers and trappers can go to get the inside scoop on the politics of hunting.

The blog – protectwhatsright.wordpress.com – will feature commentary from USSA’s political experts on the hottest topics facing the sportsmen’s community.  It will also have frequent guest columns by other recognized writers and political pros. Read more

Times Square Billboards Blast Humane Society of the United States

Washington, DC – Today HumaneWatch.org, a project of the nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom, unveiled two new Times Square billboards on the corner of West 46th Street and 7thAve. The billboards highlight the Humane Society of the United States’ (HSUS) duplicitous fundraising practices—as the vast majority of its fundraising commercials feature dogs and cats, yet only one percent of the money HSUS raises from the public goes to local, hands-on pet shelters.

Coyotes Win California Battle of Control

“I was chased by a coyote,” said Paul Randall, president of Carson Harbor Village Homeowners Association. “The only thing that kept the coyote from getting to me and my German shepherd was that I was able to get to a two-foot, eight-inch dowel that I have to protect myself. We are prisoners in our homes.”

So, the Association decided to snare the ‘yotes to gain their neighborhood back, but PETA and spaghetti-spined lawyers stepped in.  Their answer:  Increase liability insurance.   More here…

Nebraska Farmers Show Their Pride

This from Humane Watch:

We had to laugh when HSUS started its “We Are Nebraska” campaign a few days ago. An anti-agriculture group claiming to represent an agricultural state? Puh-leez.

From what we can see on HSUS’s Flickr steam, only two farmers and ranchers have submitted photos supporting HSUS’s campaign, including one who’s on HSUS’s state council. (Gee, what happened to all those 51,000 HSUS “members” in Nebraska? Maybe they don’t exist.) Read more

Missouri Coalition Defeats HSUS-Backed Ballot Initiative

Missouri citizens didn’t buy into an HSUS scheme to shove more animal-rights nonsense down their throats.  A petition drive has ended.

“Your Vote Counts was a front for HSUS so they could more effectively attack agriculture in the future, but it would have opened a floodgate of outside money on any number of issues,” says Missouri Farmers Care Treasurer Dale Ludwig “The fact that 77% of Your Vote Counts’ money came from HSUS is a pretty clear indicator that animal-rights groups wanted this change so they could attack agriculture again.”  More here…
