HSUS.....the Wolf in Sheep's clothing
 
The Humane Society of the US is a political lobbying group that is UNRELATED to any local humane societies.
 
HSUS has its roots in domestic terrorist organizations like PETA, ALF and Sea Shepherds. They are opposed to fishing, hunting, farming and breeding animals. There is an edict of strict veganism at HSUS's Washington DC headquarters. 
 
Here are direct quotes from the HSUS president, Wayne Pacelle:

 “One generation and out. We have no problems with the extinction of domestic animals." Animal People News, May 1993 

"It's really about human behavior and less about the animals. Animals for the most part just need to be left alone.”  LA Times interview July 2008.

“We want Americans to eat fewer animals” DVM magazine, January 1, 2008 .

“If we believe in evolution, then we believe that humans come from other animals and that the differences between us and them are differences of degree, and not kind.”; Washington Post, August 9, 2004

"If we could shut down all sport hunting in a moment, we would." Associated Press, Dec, 1991.

And from HSUS "senior scholar" Michael W. Fox:

 “We are not superior. There are no clear distinctions between us and animals,” Washingtonian Magazine.

“The life of an ant and that of my child should be granted equal consideration.” The Inhumane Society'

““Humane treatment [of animals] is simply sentimental, sympathetic patronage.”— Newsweek, May 1998

“This sanctuary donkey will never experience the cruel fate of being sold into hard labor like other sanctuary donkeys before our arrival.”

Less than 4% of the HSUS’ vast coffers actually go to take care of animals…ANY animals. This goes to support a few wildlife shelters, NOT pet shelters. The other 96.4% of the vast HSUS income goes to administration and political lobbying geared at eliminating our rights to own animals.

The Louisiana Attorney General spent 18 months investigating HSUS Katrina donations. HSUS deceptively raised over $34 million dollars in the Katrina disaster by appealing to the public’s love for their pets; yet they could only account for expenditures of around $7 million. VERIFIED by the attorney general.

The Vick fiasco….HSUS raised MILLIONS to supposedly care for dogs they NEVER had possession of, and then Wayne urged the judge to KILL the Vick’s dogs. The pinnacle of deception and hypocrisy!! Luckily the judge didn’t listen to the HSUS president. And now HSUS wants Vick for a spokeperson? Incredible. And Wayne had the gall to compare Kathleen McGarr, a proponent of No-Kill policies in San Francisco, to an animal torturer/murderer like Vick!

Wayne and his HSUS group have lobbied to block implementation of “no-kill” wherever it is presented. HSUS actually urges shelters to KILL animals once they have been there for 72 hrs.

HSUS brags that they save dogs via their dog raids and in disasters. This is a HUGE deceptive media marketing ploy. The animals are left behind in local shelters while the HSUS collects the money. HSUS purposely PREYS on the EMOTIONS of those who feel sorry for shelter animals and those without homes. They intentionally mislead and persuade these emotional people to DONATE to HSUS in the mistaken belief that HSUS tries to save dogs and cats.

Shelters and legitimate rescues have to grub for donations, while the HSUS rakes in hundreds of millions of dollars every year. Tax-exempt! Yet most of the HSUS funds go toward efforts to repress animal ownership. Wayne himself makes over $230,000 per year.

HSUS spent over $8 million in California last year to promote Proposition 2, anti-farming legislation. And this is a tax-exempt organization? They spends millions every year to advance their political agenda! They need a thorough government investigation and some intense regulation.

Currently the HSUS gives politically expedient lip service to being in favor of pet ownership, although their stated goals have traditionally been the abolition of any human-animal bond. With recent successes in California of our grass-roots opposition to HSUS-sponsored anti-pet bills, they have backed down from their anti-pet stance. YES! We the People CAN make a difference and defeat the animal rights monsters like HSUS and PETA!

PETA Kills Over 96 Percent of the Animals in its Care in 2008
www.petakillsanimals.com

According to the group's own records, PETA employees killed more than 96 percent of the flesh-and-blood creatures in their care that year.

PETA wants you to believe their intentions are honorable and noble, that they care about animals. The truth is that they wish NO contact between humans and animals! No farms and no pets! They are constantly in the news media fraudulently soliciting your cash donations.

The truth is their stated goal is

Complete liberation of animals.  

  • They want animals to have more rights than human beings.
  • They are against eating meat.
  • They are against eating dairy products, eggs and even honey! 
  • They are against people having pets.
  • They are against hunting and fishing.
  • They are against the use of seeing-eye dogs.
  • They are against the use of dolphins by the US military to find ocean mines.
  • They are against the use of police dogs, farm herding dogs, and guard dogs.
  • They are against the use of animals for medical research. 
  • They are against putting animals in a zoo.
  • They are against using animals for any form of entertainment.
  • They are hypocrites, as they themselves destroy almost all the companion animals who are placed in their care.

Exploiting human suffering to further their own agenda.

  • They claim the 6 Million Jews slaughtered during the Holocaust does not compare to Billions of chickens that will be killed for human consumption.
  • When celebrity meat eaters become terminally ill, they launch campaigns to blame the disease on eating meat even when no medical research supports their claim.
  • When tragic events occur in the news, they launch campaigns that call the event insignificant to the killing of animals for food.  A prime example would be the killing spree in Vancouver in which 15 women were killed.  PETA tried to purchase full-page ads in the local papers, saying it doesn't compare to the killing of animals for food.  The papers would not allow the advertisement.  Originally, the authorities believed the women were killed by Robert Pickton, a pig farmer who may have given meat products to friends that contained human remains.  PETA launched an outdoor ad, which featured a picture of a young woman along side of a pig, with the caption "Neither of us is meat."
  • PETA put up billboards of New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani with a milk mustache over the caption, "Got prostate cancer?" when  he announced that he had prostate cancer and ended his campaign for the U.S. Senate.

Put animals before humans.

  • After September 11th, PETA issued a press release accusing Mayor Giuliani of "poor record when it comes to animals" claiming that he should be setting up a task force to retrieve nearby cats and dogs that have been "high traumatized and left orphaned"  Keep in mind that all human resources were focused on rescuing humans from the debris, what rescue personnel who weren't killed in the collapse of the towers, were working days with little or no sleep; rescue personnel from around the country flew to NYC to help.
  • Claim that if research on just one animal could save 50 Million human lives, they would be against it.

     -"Even if animal tests produced a cure for AIDS, we’d be against it."
     - PETA President Ingrid Newkirk, September 1989, Vogue Magazine

Spends more on promoting themselves than on animals.

  • In a 1992 report by the NCIB, National Charities Investigation Bureau, PETA spent 42% of its organizational expenses on fundraising.  Only 20% on actual research and investigation in to animal cruelty.
  • More current reports examining PETA's tax filings have shown as little as 1% of PETA's total revenue actually goes directly to helping animals; usually small donations to animal clinics or similar organizations.  PETA's 2001 tax filings show some interesting donations:
  1. Compassion Unlimited Plus Action - Bangalore - Donation - $11.11
  2. PETA Research & Education Foundations - Donations $29.16
  3. In Defense of Animals - Donation $71.11
  4. Virginia Police Defense Fund, Norfolk Police Union - Donation - $150
  5. Society for Abolition of Animal Exploitation - Donation - $150
  6. Kalamazoo Animal Liberation League - Donation - $150
  7. Vieques Humane Society - Donation - $25
  8. SNAP - Donation - $50,000

PETA's donations totaled only $206,655.58, but they had a total revenue of almost $14 Million.

PETA spent the following on

  1. PETA TV - Expense - $13,268.84
  2. Electronic equipment, computers, cameras - Expense- $33,869.24
  3. Automobiles - Expense - $148,362.02
  4. SNAP Vehicle - Expense - $150,000.00
  5. Buildings and improvements - Expense - $295,101.60 (After a $195,000 donation of property)
  6. Land - Expense - 94,170.00

It makes one ask the questions, what is PETA really about?  Why do they choose to spend more money on promoting themselves than actually helping animals?

Supporting Terrorism.

  • PETA has contributed thousands of dollars to known activist extremists.  Most of these extremist were involved in either ALF or ELF, two organizations under FBI watch.  The FBI is monitoring these organizations for acts of terrorism in the United States.  These acts include arson, bombings, cutting the brake lines on fishery trucks, breaking and entering, destruction of government and organizational research laboratories and murder.  ALF, in one statement, has admitted to over 100 acts of terrorism, all in the name of animal rights and the economy.
  • PETA has given over $45,000 to the defense of Rodney Coronado, an ALF member convicted of a firebombing at Michigan State University.  During this criminal act of arson, Rodney Coronado stole documents and had them sent to a PETA member, the sending of these packages was prearranged by the president of PETA, herself.  One of the packages was intercepted by the FBI.
  • Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, during his last meal, decided to not eat meat. PETA’s response to this was given by Bruce Friedrich, when he told reporters “Mr. McVeigh’s decision to go vegetarian groups him with some of the world’s greatest visionaries."
  • PETA published a pamphlet entitled "Activism and the law", that offers advice on burning laboratory buildings.  This same pamphlet states "there is a higher law than that written by those who subjugate the helpless", it states that the use of illegal actions may be unpopular, but "no struggle against exploitation has been won without them."
  • PETA contributed $27,000 to the legal defense of Roger Troen for burglary and arson at the University of Oregon in 1986.  In 1989, PETA informed its members of the payment.
  • PETA's 1988 Form 990. PETA contributed $7,500 to the legal defense of Fran Stephanie Trutt, convicted of possessing pipe bombs and prosecuted for the attempted murder of the president of a medical laboratory.
  • PETA's 2001 Form 990. PETA payed lawyer fees for animal rights criminals involving the North American Earth Liberation Front, an FBI-declared domestic terrorist organization.

     -"I will be the last person to condemn ALF (Animal Liberation Front)."
     - Ingrid Newkirk, in the New York Daily News, [December 7, 1997]

     -"McVeigh's decision to go vegetarian groups him with some of the world's greatest visionaries."
     - Bruce Friedrich praising Oklahoma City bomber and mass-murderer Timothy McVeigh, for choosing a vegetarian last meal

     -"If we really believe that animals have the same right to be free from pain and suffering at our hands, then, of course we’re going to be, as a movement, blowing things up and smashing windows … I think it’s a great way to bring about animal liberation … I think it would be great if all of the fast-food outlets, slaughterhouses, these laboratories, and the banks that fund them exploded tomorrow. I think it's perfectly appropriate for people to take bricks and toss them through the windows ... Hallelujah to the people who are willing to do it."
     - Bruce Friedrich, vegan campaign coordinator of PETA,  “Animal Rights 2001” conference

Guilty of being hypocrites. 

  • PETA claims animal research is useless to the medical field, but their Vice President, Mary Beth Sweetland, has no problem injecting insulin to help control her diabetes.  She claims that she is not a hypocrite, but she needs her life to continue fighting for animals.
  • In 1999, PETA euthanized 1,325 of the 2,103 animals it took.  PETA claimed that euthanizing the cats was much kinder than leaving them in the streets.  PETA made the statement that a quick painless death is much better than a slow painful one.  However, when hunters or farmers talk of quick painless ways of killing animals, PETA calls them barbarians and claim no animal death is justified.

Brainwashing children.

  • They have committed to the use of propaganda in elementary schools, claiming they can influence the foundation of children's beliefs to make it easier to persuade them as teenagers and adults.  They use scare tactics, and unethical methods of convincing children milk and meat is bad.

     -"Our campaigns are always geared towards children and they always will be"
     -Dan Matthews, Vice President of PETA on the Fox News Network [December 19, 2003]
