HSUSA isn't your pet protection group. It's an anti-hunting lobby first.

And they are not just against canned hunts, but ALL hunting.

And "sport hunting" includes deer and turkey hunting, which many in my family use to supplement their food supply.

we’ll see more poachers, more hunters, and more loggers despoiling our natural heritage.

I have no use for poachers, but today's HUNTERS do more to STOP animal extinction than any other group. Who helped the wild turkey flourish now? That would be hunters. Who buys hundreds of acres so it isn't developed? That would be HUNTERS. I sometimes drive by a few hundred acres of wild land fenced off. That's becase of Pheasant's forever.

I must have missed the Kerry photo-op of him setting out "Have a Heart" traps.

Doesn't HSUS have a 501(c)(3) exemption? Hopefully not for long (or does that rule apply only to small, evangelical churches?).

They must have missed the photo-ops of Kerry with his shotgun out there blasting the hell out of those birds.

[Or maybe the gun really wasn't even loaded and it was just a prop for the cameras and all those scenes of Kerry with gun in hand were just staged. hmmmmmmm]

Humane society..endorses Communist puke.

Surpised?Nah.

Abortion is considered humane by the left, in fact there should be no moral question on abortion to the left. So he allows for the killing of babies, yet is a gun grabber wanting to save the animals from a conspiratorial death at the hands of Republican and conservative voters!

So yeah, I hope he gets a peace prize as well an dmaybe a hug from his friend Kofi Anon.

Perhaps even some memorabilia from the Greatfull Dead...

Because none of it matters, his campaign and chances at doing much more than being an annoyance in these last days of the election year are slim to none. Might as ewll have him happy about something, perhaps another exhibit in a Communist nation will cause him to experience a bounce!

This article decries money going to mink farms as a 'taxpayer boondoggle' and yet is proud of $26 million going to animal protection programs.

Who gets that $26 million and how do they spend it? Inquiring minds wait breathlessly for the answer.

It's easy to write them (click on site and then contact us) and let them know how you feel. I have contributed to the Humane Society for several years, but no more.

Howlin and PhiKapMom, could you ping your lists? They need to hear what some of their contributors think.

Just sent the humane society an email. They've received my last donation, last recommendation and last "donation in lieu of flowers" that I've used for family funerals. Having said that, knowing that the liberals flock to organizations like this, their endorsement's not a complete surprise. They'd never in any case endorse GWB.

Yeah, that's a great endorsement...this coming from a group whose local chapter here is being investigated for animal abuse!

Surely, it must have something to do with him being a "Heinz 57."

Do not give any money to national animal rights groups! All the whackos collect at their top. You are much better off giving to a local group that you can observe and see the affects of your money.

Another very good place to give your money for animal protection is your state hunters organization. In Oregon it is the Oregon Hunters Association. OHA has anti-poacing and hunter ethics programs along with extensive habitat enhancement.

Don't confuse HSUSA with local human society shelters. HSUSA took the name and misleads people into thinking that they care for homeless animals in their fundraising letters, but HSUSA does not operate a single shelter! Don't give HSUSA money, but donate to your local humane society or other shelters.
