This is the group that produces those tear-jerker TV ads that beg people to send $19 per month to support helpless and abused animals.

Animal ping. Better to support your local agencies, or rescue group.

This is the group that produces those tear-jerker TV ads that beg people to send $19 per month
Wounded Warrior Project does it too - plus they pay their CEO $350K a year and (IIRC) the top 10 "execs" all make over $100K.

And with all the tear jerking, if you offered to support THEIR mission if they on turn would join YOU in opposing the abortion of innocent human infants, my guess is that they’d spit in your face.

I'll be volunteering at a local animal shelter this month. Looking forward to it.

But before going forward with volunteering I specifically checked whether the shelter had any ties to HSUS.

The shelter's website very pointedly (albeit in small print) distanced itself from HSUS.

HSSV’s mission is to save and enhance lives. As an independent, 501(c)(3) non-profit, we do not receive funding from HSUS, ASPCA, or local, state or federal government entities. Your support of HSSV directly helps animals in your community!

The ASPAC is the same way, Big charities except for Salvation Army are lucky if 10 cents on every dollar go to the actual cause.

This is also the same group that has the highest KILL to Adoption rate in the world!

Those ads kill my heart.

But I don’t have enough money to support anything but local.
