Anyone that has had any rescue dealings with or researched the HSUS and ASPCA "rescue efforts" knows EXACTLY what it means when the media headline reads "HSUS or ASPCA are going to Memphis to CO-ORIDINATE the RESCUE efforts'. IT means just what it meant in New Orleans. The HSUS spend what, MAYBE ? 100G give or take, to come to Memphis , commericalize the "rescues". Send all the dogs off to the Memphis Humane Society or others around the country to "deal with", which in a LOT of instances means "send them out of the area so no-one knows WHAT they do with them.. The HSUS and ASPCA will AGAIN rake in what ??? 10? 20? 30? million like in Katrina? .. Then they will give the local group a slap on the back, MAYBE 5 , 10 or a WHOPPING 20 grand for all of THEIR hard work, and OFF THEY GO back to the big APPLE with an AMAZING amount of money... TENS of millions of dollars that if people would have only had the good sense to have sent to the MEMPHIS Humane society or local groups that are DIRELY suffering because of the flooding in the first place, could have no doubt REBUILT their facility.. Futuristically speaking they could have saved MILLIONS of animals with all that money... People have cried, complaned about the Memphis Humane Society for years, yet rarely do any of them donate a penny.. Then this WELL underbudgeted group with inadequate facilities HAS to euthanize because they dont have supplies, vets, TIME, SPACE to even try to home these animals..Ive seen it happen AGAIN AND AGAIN.. They RAPE in the donations off the back of people who so direly love animals thinking they are helping these animals.. Maybe they are.. JUST A DROP.. But I guess I dare to dream what a facitily like Memphis, Atlanta HS, Los Angeles HS (who kills TENS of thousands some years) could do with another 2, 3 , 5 MILLION of that $100,000,000.00 PLUS that the HSUS and ASPCA has sucked up year after year while proclaming themselves to be "puppy mill rescue experts"... When will people realize how important it is to give as hardily and readily as they do to these "corpoartions" running rescue groups.? Im not saying that what they do is not important on some scale, but one things for sure, they get paid WELL for their efforts.. If they were really HUMANE and ETHICAL, they would split that 10-20 MILLION dollar pot they will make off the back of Mississippi River Flooding Victims with the countless BROKE and hurting shelters.. THATS where the money should REALLY be going.. THEY know it and we know it.. But will they do it? I SEIOUSLY doubt it.. It would be the first time.May 12th, 2011Someone from Dover, DE writes:
ASPCA has raided my family's breeding operation, took my sister through jury trials which she WON and then killed her dog anyway. I will NEVER donate another penny to any kill shelter. Please investigate.REPORT COMMENTS

Dear Sirs, I become so confused. Peta does have good intent. I do not agree with how they implement their intentions. HSUS as I understand, is an 8 billion dollar organization. Yet only 8%goes to animal welfare. Please clear this confusion. Thank YouREPORT COMMENTS

The HSUS, PETA and ASPCA have comitted fraud. If the average citizen took money for one purpose and did not use it for that it would be fraud. Furthermore, these organizations have over stepped their bounds for the status they hold as a tax-free entity. 501 c (3) states certain criteria to be met and they have violated that for years. They should be removed from that category.If I know this information, you do too. If you don't look into the public records to verify requirements they should be keeping that they are not.REPORT COMMENTS

Pt 4 Ive always said "the HSUS , ASPCA and PETA has programmed this nation into believing it's more humane to kill".. They started telling you that about the same time they started programming this nation into calling your CITY POUND a "HUMANE SOCIETY" when it all reality we know that theres not humane about killing 5? 10? million dogs and cats a year because they have led the public to believe these are "puppy mill dog / breeder off spring".. Even by the ASPCA and HSUS on resource stats that information is NOT verifable. Their own stats indicate that around 85-90% of ALL shelter animals are the off spring of irresponible pet owners.. So why do they tell you that they are "breeder stock/puppy mill dogs"? We all know the answer to that question.. THE DOLLAR BILL... Dont believe me? Take a trip to your local Humane Society.. Look through the hundreds of dogs in the "city pound". Do these animals LOOK like breeder stock? Not in my local group they dont.. We RARELY receive a "pure breed'.> RARELY do we get one that looks like a "half breed'.. These animals are not the product of breeder stock.. These animals are the product of roaming animals.. CALL your local group as I did many. Ask the attendant.. How many pure breeds do you get in? Ive never had one tell me IF ANYTHING that they even rarely get a pure breed dog in.. They even go so far as to say " these are not breeders animals, these dogs are brought in by individuals with a box full of puppies and a moma" or they drop off a load of mutts... These groups have gotten away with THIS misconception/ LIE just as they have the name misconception lie that has drawn in billions over the years. People have certainly believed it.. I call the "we save puppy mill dogs" campaign the biggest scam in history..And no, im not "OK" with a bad breeder who intentionally neglects his/her animals anymore than I am OK with the general public who for the most part DOES THE SAME THING.. One things for sure, these groups have THRIVED off of these "lies/misconceptions for years'.. They have enraged the public to hysteria in their "farm assault" efforts.. As Ive said a million times before.. All you have to do is look up their "vegan" corporate leadership".. The REAL agenda will become very apparent if you research their stock ownership.. The "meat" companies the use your donation money to buy stock in.. All in their efforts to "regulate" them into submission.. You believe what you want.. This is MY assessment from many years of watching these groups in action as well as countless hours of research online.. Take the time to watch them.. Their agenda will become apparent.. These are not "puppy mill saviors"..If they were, I would have NO problem with them.. These are political groups who have a united agenda.. And it AINT to save "puppy mill dogs"..REPORT COMMENTS

We all remember New Orleans where the HSUS went in to "spear head' the rescue campaigns.. One estimate states that the HSUS took in over 30MILLION dollars off the "KATRIANA ANIMAL RESCUE", yet they only spent about SEVEN MILLION of that money in the Katriana efforts. The state of New Orleans even sued the HSUS.. The HSUS responded by building ONE animal rescue facility for the New Orleans area. Where did the OTHER 25MILLION GO? CERTAINLY not where the DONORS THOUGHT it was going.. I think it was HSUS CEO Pacelle who stated "its no-ones business what the HSUS spends THEIR money on that people donate that money to them and they do what they "see fit" with it". Get the picture?? The same thing is now happening in the MEMPHIS TENNESEE AREA RIGHT NOW! The HSUS and ASPCA have ran in, take over the rescues, no doubt the local groups are not getting a rare penny comparatively for their efforts.. These groups will spend some money there, but it will be NOTHING compared to the tens of millions they will steal from the REAL rescue groups of that area who will be given a "pennace" for their efforts.. Its the sad ugly reality of "corporate animal rescue" these days.. PETA is a "bird of another color" all together.. You should google the #PETA state submitted kill statistics.. They do basically the same thing as the HSUS and ASPCA with their "kill statistics'". They do what "I" refer to as "padding the stats".. They tell you "we helped ??? thousand animals this year.. What PETA doesn't tell you is that those numbers included PET owners dogs, cats and animals.. But they DONT tell you that THEIR OWN rescues, strays, take ins, dump offs, are in no way THAT LUCKY.. PETA is a dog and cat KILLING MACHINE.. You dont have to believe me.. GOOGLE their euthanizia rates.. Its clear.. The HSUS does the same thing.. They do their "life saying puppy mill raids' yet dont own ONE dog shelter.. Where do these dogs end up? The truth is many times ugly.. They "partner" with groups like KERN COUNTY (one of the most infamous kill shelters in the nation) in their "life saving puppy mill raids'".. After all, what else can they do, they dont own a shelter.. In many instances they send these animals to HS ./ CITY POUNDS all over the nation.. I even confronted a lady who worked for the HSUS online a while back. I asked this lady "does the HSUS keep statistics as to how many of these rescued puppy mill dogs end up euthanized". Her response was no.. You see, this is how they "coverup" the truth as to what happens to MANY of these animals..REPORT COMMENTS

Over the years I have sat back and watched how these national sized rescue groups have operated. Ive watched their donation campaign tactics, raid tactics, assaults on OTHER RESCUES (primarily #nokill rescue groups) and the motive seemingly is the same. Donation driven publicity campaigns. Im not saying that these groups have not done some good in their time, but they have certainly not lived up to the expectations that would be placed on groups who ingest excess tens, hundreds of millions of dollars on a yearly basis.. One estimate I read stated that the #HSUS, over its years of existence has taken in somewhere in the TEN BILLION dollar range in donations, most of which they have taken received in the last 10-20 years. The "puppy mill advertisement campaigns" have no doubt worked to their economic advantage. The ASPCA and HSUS BOTH have assets of WELL in excess of the 100 MILLION dollar range which consist of realestate, stock ownerships, LARGE pension plans for CEOS and other holdings.. That number does not included the near 100MILLION dollars that the ASPCA and HSUS EACH take in on a yearly basis on top of that. They have relied HEAVILY on peoples misconception driven by their names. I have spoken with countless individuals over the years who still believe that their local SPCA is somehow affiliated with THE NEW YORK #ASPCA or that the HSUS (Humane Society of the United States) is somehow the "same" as their local Humane Society. WE know its not true, but countless millions of donors tell me day after day, NO..."The ASPCA is nokill ..I live in ?? and I got my dog from them" never realizing their is NO association with these groups and their local groups. It has CERTAINLY worked to the advanage for both of these groups. Ive questioned people over the years continually over the years as to WHO they believe these groups are, and what do they do.. The sad truth is, the average person STILL believes that these groups "save puppy mill dogs".. When I ask this question on the street, the response in nearly unanimous.. Nearly always they associate these groups with "puppy mills and dog rescues".. and MOST believe they are infact the "same" as their local rescue group. Ive spoke with some of these ASPCA and HSUS reps online, their response is, "people need to do their research before they donate". They NEVER take responsiblity or try to correct this misconception. NOT REALLY.. Why would they, it would not be to their economic advantage. These national sized groups have almost intentional diverted funding / donations that should have gone to these local groups to themselves by using these "name" misconceptions to their own advantage. You should follow the rescues.. Listen when there is a "disastor".. These groups go in, as they did in New Orleans with Katrina.. Dont EVER think that these "money drive"/national disastor "rescues" are not economically advantageous to these groups..We all remember New Orleans where the HSUS went iREPORT COMMENTS

I have been donating some of my SSI-Disability to ASPCA, Peta, and the HSUS for a long time and also prior to the time I became diabled.. This shocks me and I hope that the government can find out.. I cry my eyes out all the time over the abandoned, abused, and murdered pets in this country and all over the world.. People are beyond cruel to animals, and if these organizations re lying to us, I want to know about it.. They have tv commercials that are so upsetting that it is impossible not to give, even when I give as much as I can, and live without, because of the cruelty people inflict... Please help us who adore and love all animalsREPORT COMMENTS
