I repeat again: HSUS is a farce

I'm on record as saying before that the HSUS is a farce. They're a lobbying group, they are not a humane society. Any money you give to them, in the hopes that it will improve animals lives, will be completely wasted.

Oh, by the way ...

... if you plan on donating any money to a humane society this year, don't give it to the HSUS (Humane Society of the United States). The "humane society" tag in their name is a total fabrication.

Humane Society of the United States

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, it’s 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.
