WTF HSUS?

WTF meaning of course, Where's the Funding?

The geniuses behind HumaneWatch have launched a new ad campaign in Union Station in Washington D.C. aimed at calling out the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) for donating a mere 1% of their budget to animal shelters.

Read that again.

HSUS donates a mere 1% of their $130 million budget to animal shelters.

You can see all the signs here but my favorite is posted below:


Kitty isn't impressed with HSUS
 

It sure would be great to see this ad campaign featured in other prominent locales - Chicago, L.A, Seattle, Dallas etc. If you scroll to the comments in the article, you can see that the ad is working. People are visiting humanewatch.org and discovering the truth about HSUS and their shady ways of business.

The times, they are a-changin'.

HSUS Donates Goose Eggs

That means a big fat zero.

In this infogram from HumaneWatch, you can see the breakdown of where the whopping 0.24% that HSUS spends on local animal shelters actually ends up. (In case you didn't pick up on it, the word whopping was dripping with sarcasm). In 2011, HSUS spent 0.24% of of its total budget as grants to support pet sheltering. Kansas, and many other states, saw a big goose egg of that money.

If you want to help shelters, donate to your local animal shelter! You'll help a lot more animals with your hard-earned cash than with HSUS' fraudulently solicited 0.24%.

Did your state get anything?  This sort of thing doesn't surprise me anymore.....

We Don't Want No Drama - No No Drama

I'm so tired of this election biz. I'm ready for the unwanted campaign phone calls to stop. I'm ready to stop killing trees when I throw away the mail inserts that I never read. C'mon people - over $2 billion was spent on the presidential campaign this year and we have 46 million people on food stamps and over 8% unemployment (that number is should actually be higher but we don't need any drama here)!? Let's get our priorities in line - tsk tsk.

Anyhow - to negate all the political muck, I saw this yesterday on Facebook, courtesy of ProtectTheHarvest.com and couldn't help but share. Hope your day is brightened!

If you really want to help out animals, donate to your local shelters. Buy them a bag of dog food or volunteer your time. Donating money to HSUS does NOT help your local cats and dogs.

Lastly, I voted today. Go do it. Don't waste your freedom.

Until next time,
