How Many Animals Does HSUS “Care” For?

This from www.HumaneWatch.org

The Humane Society of the United States relies on guile. When HSUS advertises to the public, it implies that it is a cat-and-dog group, one that will “rescue animals now.” Yet only 1 percent of its budget goes to pet shelters, and HSUS doesn’t run a single pet shelter despite having $200 million in assets.

HSUS’s deceptive attitude was on display after the group recently took part in a $15.75 million settlement of a racketeering lawsuit. HSUS told the public that donor money would not go to pay the settlement. Yet HSUS was denied liability insurance for the settlement—a fact it willfully omitted from its statements.

Got Bugs?

Cool little bugger that changes color and is one of my dearest friends, because it feeds on bugs that feed on me.  It makes the craziest sound, too.  If you didn’t know it, you wouldn’t think it was any kind of frog by the sound. 

Took this pic tonight, while the critter was attached to the garage door.  The door went up and down a few times and the little frog’s suction-cup feet held on, no problem.  They’ll stick to an area directly below lights to partake in a nightly smorgasbord, as well.

Public invited to provide input on new Kirtland’s Warbler Conservation Plan

In 1966, the Kirtland’s warbler was listed as a federally endangered species; today, history is being made as this unique songbird may soon be delisted.

 

Kirtland's warbler in jack pine treeThe Department of Natural Resources, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Forest Service signed a memorandum of understanding in June 2011 to clarify each agency’s commitment to the conservation of the Kirtland’s warbler. Due to the potential for delisting, the three agencies decided it was necessary to develop a Kirtland’s Warbler Conservation Plan (KWCP) that would provide future strategic guidance to sustain a viable population of Kirtland’s warblers across their breeding range.
