This Is Not Your Grandma's Humane Society

The facts are as follows: HSUS not only receives a “D” grade from the American Institute of Philanthropy, but the Better Business Bureau is reviewing whether HSUS meets its charity standards. This “Humane Society” gives just one percent of the money it collects to pet shelters, according to its tax returns.
Meanwhile, as local humane societies struggle to make ends meet and keep sheltering pets, HSUS has $32 million stuffed away in hedge funds and has about 50 lawyers on staff.

HSUS is just another one of the originally good organizations that has become a rent seeking scam group.

Who said "all politics is local?"
All charity must be local, too.
And the HSUS has such moving commercials, too, of tormented and crippled animals. Of course they have to protect their phoney-baloney jobs at the expense of mere animals.

If it wasn't for the commercials, nobody would give money for them to skim.

Wait a minute now. Think about all those poor starving and neglected lawyers! Where would they be without the HSUS? ;)

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
