Shameful charity. They kill pets, not save them. In April 2012 CharityWatch gave HSUS an “unsatisfactory” grade of “D” in its most recent charity rating guide. That marked the sixth straight “D” grade for HSUS, dating back to August 2010. Additionally, the inside-the-movement newspaper Animal People publishes an annual Watchdog Report taking a closer look at animal rights and animal welfare organizations. Animal People estimates that HSUS spends 43 percent of its budget on overhead costs. Despite the words “Humane Society” in its name, HSUS’s goals are aligned more with the radical PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) than with local humane societies. HSUS promotes veganism and intends to end animal agriculture. It ideologically believes that most uses of animals are wrong. Donations to HSUS are socked away in hedge funds, committed to bloated staff salaries and benefits or put right back into HSUS’s factory fundraising friends who do their direct mail solicitations. Our analysis determined that between 1998 and 2009, HSUS put more money into its own pension plan than it made in grants to pet shelters. Paypal should drop it's sponsorship of this scam. It does nothing to help local animal shelters and actually competes with them thus choking off funds to actual animal shelters.
