Do Wayne Pacelle’s Initials Also Stand for Witness Payoff?

Big news came out over the holidays when the ASPCA announced that it would pay Feld Entertainment, owner of the Ringling Bros. circus, almost $10 million to settle a federal lawsuit accusing the ASPCA and others of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. It’s a crack in the defense, and we’re sure that leaders of the Humane Society of the United States—which is still a defendant in the litigation—didn’t sleep well that night.  Keep reading here…

Two developments have recently emerged that could be body-blows to the Humane Society of the United States and its deceptive practices of raising money from pet loving Americans who are deceived into giving to the group.

  • Wal-Mart
  • CVS Pharmacies
  • Big Lots!
  • Family Dollar Stores
  • Morton Salt
  • Subaru
  • Walker’s Shortbread
