[Dan from Michigan]

If you're looking for pet rescue groups to replace the Humane Society, I know there's several out there unaffiliated with them. My uncle got his Brittany Spaniel through one his uncle was active in. Greyhounds (retired racers) have one that I see at almost all the county events. They aren't tied to HSUSA and as far as I know, they stay out of the politics.

I'll bet $100 that most of HSUSA's money goes to lobbying as they are extremely organized on that end. (There's HSUSA and more local groups that concentrate more on pets, although they do some anti-hunting as well they the locals aren't ALL bad). They are extremely active on anti-hunting causes here in Michigan. It's too bad really since I hate animal abuse and would back them if they wern't such anti-hunters.

HSUS has used the good name of local Humane Societies to fool people into contributing to their very extreme political organization.

Contribute to "local" Humane Societies that really do help animals.

NEVER support HSUS,they're a leftist group stealing honest peoples money through deception.
