HSUS Plays Hide and Seek with Donations
This from www.HumaneWatch.org
A sharp-eyed reader pointed us to something buried in HSUS’s latest tax return, covering the year 2012. On page 32, HSUS states that it made an “investment” total $25.7 million in the “Central American and the Caribbean” region. We went back to HSUS’s 2009, 2010, and 2011 tax returns. There were no reported investments of any kind abroad.
Strange? We think so.
Where exactly is this $26 million “invested”? It turns out HSUS funneled mega-bucks to several funds located in the Cayman Islands. You know, the secretive place where people stuff their secretive money. Bond villain-type stuffsecretive . Read more

Things Are Tough All Over
By Glen Wunderlich
On a recent visit to Corunna Mills, where the best bird seed at the best price can be found just south of town, I paused to chat with young Samantha Demerly behind the counter. The grain elevator’s only source of heat – a corn-burning contraption with the BTUs of a hair dryer – had given out, leaving one tough school-aged youngster in a position to qualify for extreme-duty pay. There she was, dressed in clothes fit for a Mt. Everest summit, while cheerfully carrying out her assigned duties.
I mentioned that this whole winter experience will be something she’ll be able to relate to her grandchildren many years from now. I can hear her now: “It was below zero, no heat, and the ink pens were so cold that they wouldn’t write. You had to be tough in my day.”
Ah, yes, the winter of 2013/14 will require no exaggeration to have become one to remember. Beginning with the severe ice storm and its omnipresent remnants to record snowfalls and sub-zero temperatures lingering for what has seemed like eternity, we will all be stronger for the experience. But, what will it all mean for our cherished wildlife? Read more
