Who here doesn't have a soft spot for the strays found in your local animal shelter? There probably isn't a better way to support animal welfare than to adopt a pet or donate to your LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTER. But folks, pay attention YOUR LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES.
If that seems a bit confusing to you, that's because it's meant to be. You see, the HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES (HSUS) is an animal rights group -- NOT an animal welfare group. By design they deliberately trick people into donating to their organization. Well-intended donors think they are donating to help the local shelter of their local humane society but instead the #1 thing the $ is used for is to fight animal agriculture and the consumption of meat on a global scale.
Here is a link to an excellent explanation of the HSUS: Humane Society of the United States
This may not be on your radar today, but it's huge in the agriculture community. HSUS is raising well over $100 million annually to fight farmers. And they fight dirty. They use lots of emotionally charged mis-information to promote their agenda. Get the facts. Google "HSUS + truth" and see for yourself.
