HSUS Deception is National

New Report: HSUS Deception on a National Scale

This from HumaneWatch.org…

We’ve written before about the deceptive fundraising practices on the Humane Society of the United States. Despite its name, HSUS is not related to your local pet shelters, though public polling finds that most Americans think it is. Even 80 percent of HSUS donors think that HSUS “misleads people into thinking that it supports local humane societies and pet shelters.” View the full report here. Read more

Vehicle/Sheep Collisions Wiping Out Herd

During the four-year period between 2008 and 2012, a total of 110 sheep were killed by collisions, he said. A total of 107 sheep were  killed on Montana Highway 200, while just three sheep were killed by trains.  Since 1985, Sterling said 403 sheep have been killed by motor vehicles on the  highway and 58 sheep have been killed by trains.

Flashing yellow caution signs and electronic reader boards haven’t worked yet.  Salt blocks in the area have had little impact luring the  sheep away from the highways.

A simple simple solution exists:  quit driving cars and trucks.  But, alas, not even the most radical animal rights whackos will not give up their lifestyles in exchange for a few measley sheep.  Anyway, more here…

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.

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.

Whackos Release Penned Pheasants

Animal-rights whackos claimed  they jumped a barbed-wire fence in Oregon and removed a section of an aviary that held between 75-150 pheasants, “liberating them into the night sky.”   Apparently, the activists believe it is better for the birds to die a slow, painful death by starvation, because anyone that knows anything, knows they will never be able to fend for themselves.  That’s just the way it is.  More on the misdirected whacko initiative here…

California Cat-astrophe

Daniel Richards, president of the California Fish and Game Commission, legally shot a mountain lion in Northern Idaho.  But, when his photo was posted in an outdoor publication, the animal rights whackos wanted his neck.  Why?  Because lion hunting in California is illegal.

So the whackos want his job because he supports hunting as a viable means to control wildlife populations and puts his money where his mouth is.  Because he spent a huge sum of money, which is used to support a legal hunting operation and Idaho wildlife management.  Because he’s a hunter!

“It’s not illegal. But Read more
