Humane Watch: HSUS Launches Lame Web Defense to Criticism

by Humane Watch

It’s clear that our campaign to expose the deceptive “Humane Society” of the United States has been successful. We have one main message: Only 1 percent of the money given to HSUS winds up at local pet shelters. Most people—including HSUS donors—don’t know this, and it’s due to HSUS’s deceptive fundraising chock full of cats and dogs that funds other things—attacking farmers, pushing a PETA-like agenda, buying cheap direct-mail gifts, etc.

Our success is in the numbers: HSUS’s contributions declined by millions in 2013 as people learned the truth (and, hopefully, gave to their local pet shelters instead, helping needy dogs and cats).

Now, predictably feeling threatened by the truth, HSUS has launched a new website to answer some criticisms about the organization (as of this writing, though, it doesn’t address the Oklahoma Attorney General’s investigation of HSUS, Charity Navigator’s Donor Advisory against HSUS, or CharityWatch’s “C-minus” grade of HSUS, or a whole host of other things). With tens of millions of dollars on the line from a group whose income relies on people being deceived, it’s no surprise that HSUS is once again misleading the public. Let’s debunk each of HSUS’s attempts to defend itself.
