we are here to tell people the truth about the HSUS. We think it is a crying out loud shame that an organization can get away with something like this and they need to be exposed. When people hear the name HSUS the first thing that normally comes to mind is your local animal shelters and how they help all the lost and neglected animals. Truth is, despite the words humane society on its letterhead, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is not affiliated with your local animal shelter. Despite the omnipresent dogs and cats in its fundraising materials, its not an organization that runs spay/neuter programs or takes in stray, neglected, and abused pets. And despite the common image of animal protection agencies as cash-strapped organizations dedicated to animal welfare, HSUS has become the wealthiest animal rights organization on earth.
