I recently went to a Humane Society Presentation and Wayne Pacelle was one of the speakers. The lecture was free . One of the speakers was from The Wildlife Care Center of Fort Lauderdale( which does great work) and who now associates itself with HSUS. The auditorium was filled with members of local rescue groups & shelters. So, I left there thinking they were a great, compassionate animal society.I didn’t know that the HSUS is so controversial. Also, I read that they joined (with Best Friends) the international coalition in Haiti to rescue dogs, set up feeding stations for all of the displaced animals/livestock and to administer rabies shots. I’ve also been watching a few videos of their workers in Haiti and at the airport returning to the US with rescues. Pacelles’ also talked about working with Michael Vick to stop dog fighting. I guess I’ll do some research…it sounds like you’re against HSUS because they don’t really use the $$ they raise for animals & that they aren’t a no-kill group? I love your blog- I usually skim through the Frenchie stuff & look at the pictures.

In reply to; KC DOG BLOG: HSUS Changes Policy on dogs seized from Fight Busts

I believe it’s a move Pacelle made because of the heat he is getting from the rescue community and the animal rights community. Pacelle’s belief is as Ingrid’s, euthanize them, they are better off.

HSUS and Pacelle have been hit hard this year. More and more rescuers, animal activist and general animal lovers are finding out the truth behind the big HSUS name and they are finding out they have all been duped, just as I did. I was a loyal follower and even worked with HSUS on a daily basis until, the
hurricane hit. I saw HSUS for what it really was then. A phone room and publicity machine. The animals were not and never have been the main agenda. If this would have been the case HSUS would have been saving lives during Katrina instead they were no more than a big animal control. Animals were collected and killed sent, all over the U.S. to be destroyed in kill shelters or languish in a no kill facility with no hope for reunification. HSUS had no intention of producing the records of where the animals were found. Why? They would have to pay to ship them back to the Gulf Coast. It’s said among rescuer that were the last standing at Lamar Dixon, over 500 Pit Bulls were secretly killed.

The only time HSUS would back off from what has been policy on confiscated pit bulls is because it has cut into donations. The problem HSUS is going to have with the new policy they say they will adopt ( I don’t believe it for a minute) on confiscated Pit bulls or Am staffs, is what will they do when it’s time to put up actual funds to care for the animals? Most likely this is the dilemma that will stop them in their tracks. There is no way they will pay for rehabilitation, enrichment and boarding until they are adopted.

One poster said it well, For HSUS, its not about dog’s it’s about dollars.
