Paws for Reflection
Posted: February 24, 2010
The Center For Consumer Freedom is turning up the heat on the Humane Society of the United States. This week they took out a full page ad in the New York Times that highlights “the failure of the Humane Society of the United States to devote a significant amount of money to supporting America’s underfunded pet shelters. The ad explains that HSUS shares only 1 dollar out of every 200 dollars it collects with local, hands-on pet shelters.” That is graphically reflected with 200 little puppy paw prints, just one of which represents the money that goes to help homeless pets.
The ad reads:
Shouldn’t the “Humane Society” do better?
The Humane Society of the United States is NOT your local animal shelter. In fact, it gives less than one-half of one percent of its $100 million budget to hands-on pet shelters.
Meanwhile, this wealthy animal rights group socked away over $2.5 million of Americans’ donations in its own pension plans.
Surprised? So were we. The dog-watchers need a watchdog. Join the discussion at HumaneWatch.org.
