HSUS Squeezing Local Shelters for Cash

GW:  The following post is from HumaneWatch.org

We noticed a news story recently that HSUS had charged a Virginia shelter $15,000 a few years back for an evaluation. It’s not the only time, and it’s kind of kicking shelters when they’re down: HSUS already deceptively raises money as if it’s a sheltering group, yet donates just 1 percent of the money it raises to shelters. And HSUS also charges shelters for evaluations.

Here’s what really bothers us: Read more

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.

HSUS Wants to Ban Hunting Dogs

This from the Outdoor Wire:

Here is a warning to California hunters from the Western Outdoor News (www.wonews.com) that the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) appears to be commencing a campaign against California’s hunting dogs. HSUS is supporting SB 1221, a bill that would ban the hunting of bears and bobcats with dogs. Read more

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…

HSUS Files Another Lawsuit

Oregon, Washington and California have delayed startup of a plan to kill sea lions in an effort to allow chinook salmon to spawn but HSUS filed suit.  The result?  A temporary restraining order.  Details here…

Update:

Oregon state authorities can resume killing California sea lions that feast on endangered salmon bottled up at a dam on the Columbia River, but less than one-third as many as federal biologists previously had authorized, a judge ruled Thursday.

U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg in Washington, D.C., denied the Humane Society of the United States’ request to stop the killing at the Bonneville Dam while a lawsuit challenging the program goes forward. However, he limited the killing to 30 animals per year rather than the 92 authorized by federal authorities, and ordered that none of them may be shot.

HSUS for Uninformed Simpletons

Over at Western Outdoor News, Bill Karr writes about an ongoing HSUS-manufactured “scandal” in California. The head of the state’s Fish and Game Commission went and recently hunted a mountain lion in Idaho. The catch? Mountain lion hunting has been off limits in California for the past few decades. It’s legal in Idaho, but HSUS’s fur is flying anyway. Read more

California Game Commissioner to Keep Position – For Now

It now appears that California Game Commission president Richards may not be ousted from the commission over a recent hunting controversy said Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg.  While he hasn’t “closed all doors completely,” he has no plans to bring up a vote.  But, the politicians are attempting to take some of his authority away with a recent vote.  More on the continuing saga here…  A little more here…
