They use your (NOW their) money to support anti-breeders laws. The next time that you or a family member are looking for a pedigreed animal you may just have a very hard time finding one. Why? Because H$U$ funds legislation that would put a stop to breeders being able to have the freedom to do this. They will lie and say that they are against puppy and kitten mills when the legislation that they are proposing across this great land, does NOT exclude small private breeders but rather lumps everyone into the same legislative category.

7 Things You Didn't Know About H$U$

Posted: November 7, 2008
1) The Humane Society of the United States (H$U$) is a �humane society� in name only, since it doesn't operate a single pet shelter or pet adoption facility anywhere in the United States. During 2006, H$U$ contributed only 4.2 percent of its budget to organizations that operate hands-on dog and cat shelters. In reality, H$U$ is a wealthy animal-rights lobbying organization (the largest and richest on earth) that agitates for the same goals as PETA and other radical groups. See the Video

2) Beginning on the day of NFL quarterback Michael Vick�s 2007 dog fighting indictment, H$U$ raised money on-line with the false promise that it would �care for the dogs seized in the Michael Vick case.� The New York Times later reported that H$U$ wasn�t caring for Vick�s dogs at all. And H$U$ president Wayne Pacelle told the Times that his group recommended that government officials �put down� (that is, kill) the dogs rather than adopt them out to suitable homes. H$U$ later quietly altered its Internet fundraising pitch.

3) H$U$�s senior management includes a former spokesman for the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), a criminal group designated as �terrorists� by the FBI. HSUS president Wayne Pacelle hired John �J.P.� Goodwin in 1997, the same year Goodwin described himself as �spokesperson for the ALF� while he fielded media calls in the wake of an ALF arson attack at a California veal processing plant. In 1997, when asked by reporters for a reaction to an ALF arson fire at a farmer�s feed co-op in Utah (which nearly killed a family sleeping on the premises), Goodwin replied, �We�re ecstatic.� That same year, Goodwin was arrested at a UC Davis protest celebrating the 10-year anniversary of an ALF arson at the university that caused $5 million in damage. And in 1998, Goodwin described himself publicly as a �former member of ALF.�

4) According to a 2008 Los Angeles Times investigation, less than 12 percent of money raised for H$U$ by California telemarketers actually ends up in H$U$�s bank account. The rest is kept by professional fundraisers. And if you exclude two campaigns run for H$U$ by the �Build-a-Bear Workshop� retail chain, which consisted of the sale of surplus stuffed animals (not really �fundraising�), H$U$�s yield number shrinks to just 3 percent. Sadly, this appears typical. In 2004, H$U$ ran a telemarketing campaign in Connecticut with fund raisers who promised to return a minimum of zero percent of the proceeds. The campaign raised over $1.4 million. Not only did absolutely none of that money go to H$U$, but the group paid $175,000 for the telemarketing work.

5) Research shows that H$U$�s heavily promoted U.S. �boycott� of Canadian seafood, announced in 2005 as a protest against Canada�s annual seal hunt, is a phony exercise in media manipulation. A 2006 investigation found that 78 percent of the restaurants and seafood distributors described by H$U$ as �boycotters� weren't participating at all. Nearly two-thirds of them told surveyors they were completely unaware H$U$ was using their names in connection with an international boycott campaign. Canada�s federal government is on record about this deception, saying: �Some animal rights groups have been misleading the public for years � it�s no surprise at all that the richest of them would mislead the public with a phony seafood boycott.�

6) H$U$ raised a reported $34 million in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, supposedly to help reunite lost pets with their owners. But comparatively little of that money was spent for its intended purpose. Louisiana�s Attorney General shuttered his 18-month-long investigation into where most of these millions went, shortly after H$U$ announced its plan to contribute $600,000 toward the construction of an animal shelter on the grounds of a state prison. Public disclosures of the disposition of the $34 million in Katrina-related donations add up to less than $7 million. See the Video

7) After gathering undercover video footage of improper animal handling at a Chino, CA slaughterhouse during November of 2007, H$U$ sat on its video evidence for three months, even refusing to share it with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. H$U$�s Dr. Michael Greger testified before Congress that the San Bernardino County (CA) District Attorney�s office asked the group �to hold on to the information while they completed their investigation.� But the District Attorney�s office quickly denied that account, even declaring that H$U$ refused to make its undercover spy available to investigators if the USDA were present at those meetings. Ultimately, H$U$ chose to release its video footage at a more politically opportune time, as it prepared to launch a livestock-related ballot campaign in California. Meanwhile, meat from the slaughterhouse continued to flow into the U.S. food supply for months.
