It's a damn animal.
Stuff like this makes me want to reduce my donations to "charities" without knowing exactly what they are doing with my money.
I don't know about you, but when I think of the Humane Society, I think of the people who work to save abandoned animals, those who help pay for neutering pets so more animals don't get abandoned, and helping those who have pets. Unfortunately, that's wrong. The humane society of the United States instead is interested in a political agenda that values animals more than people. Humane Society, you've gotten the last dollar from me after this stupid lawsuit to treat birds that are being slaughtered "more humanely." Yes, I know this lawsuit to "protect" birds is a publicity stunt for Thanksgiving, but in my case, it's backfired. I used to give a good bit of money to this organization because they helped abandoned pets. Not one dollar more. I'm going to instead start just sending random piles of cash to the Jacksonville Cat House when I feel the need to donate to help animals. If you're interested, they use all the donations to help stray cats. The address isThe Stray Cathouse

Great post.
The results of the Humane Society aren't nearly as humane as one might imagine anyhow. Private organizations and individuals inspired simply by their love of animals are the way to go no matter how you look at it, imo.

Thanks. Sometimes I really want to believe that larger organizations can be more organized and do more good, but at least in this case, there's no question these people are crack-heads.

I understand. I use to give to WWF (world wildlife fund) and Humane Society. I now give to our local rescue league (Safe Harbor in Jupiter). In fact we adopted our dog from there.

Here is a good question for the humane society, what is more humane.....a quick movement which ends the birds life IMMEDIATELY (breaking the neck) or a knife (which can miss and cause the need for a second stroke, thus resulting in at least some pain between swings)?
I must find my PETA (People for the EATING of TASTY ANIMALS) shirt, I feel I should wear it to school next week.

Yup, what bothers me most is organizations like these that imply they support one idea while all the time being militant on a completely different position.
And yes, Smokey, good time of year for that shirt!

Everyone should send their donations to local organizations workin' to save abandoned animals. A little goes a long way 'cause they're not top heavy with "administrators." (Focus on canines since it looks like Ogre already has the fe-lyin' base covered.)

I'm convinced, Harrison.
