HSUS Reviews The Past Year (VIDEO)

The Humane Society of the United States looks back on the compassionate rescues and legislative accomplishments of 2010.
The outlawing of greyhound racing in New Hampshire and Rhode Island, Alaska’s decision to make animal cruelty a felony, the prohibition of shark finning in Hawaii and the signing of the Truth in Fur Labeling Act are just a few examples of the triumphs celebrated is this heartwarming video.
Even in light of these successes, we must keep in mind we still have a long way to go. Make a resolution for the new year to be more compassionate to all living beings, human and non-human.

HSUS Moves Hurricane Pets into Unnatural Disaster Areas-"Yes Biscuit"
SENDSeptember 4, 2012
The Guilford Co pound in NC kills roughly half its dogs and cats unless the pet happens to look like a Rottweiler, Chow Chow or Pitbull. Guilford Co kills 100% of any pets who resemble those types of dogs.
Not surprisingly, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) thinks the pound is swell. And when HSUS recently trucked nearly 200 pets from pounds in Louisiana and Mississippi after Hurricane Isaac, the multi-million dollar organization thought Guilford Co would be a great place to send 17 of them.
I wonder how many of the remaining dogs and cats rescued by HSUS will also be sent to places that kill pets. Even if the shelter taking in the animals doesnt kill these particular individuals, the issue of displacement killing comes into play. Either way, pets are likely to be needlessly killed in the name of rescue, courtesy of HSUS, while the organization rakes in more donations to pay salaries and other expenses unrelated to saving shelter animals. Let me know if you see a story about your local pound receiving any of these Hurricane Isaac pets.
