HumaneWatch.org Up and Running and Watching HSUS

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 6:52:00 CST

The Center for Consumer Freedom has launched a website to analyze the activities of the Humane Society of the United States. Director of Research David Martosko says the new revamped version of the site will be much more interactive and now includes a blog, and channels through which viewers can send documents, information or anecdotes about HSUS to CCF for inclusion on the site, even anonymously.


One of the Blog entries caught our eye as Martosko was refuting Wayne Pacelle's claim that they spend up to $27 million annually working with animal care. Martosko says the real figure is less than a half million dollars when you are talking about dealing with pets, the animals that HSUS constantly shows in their promotional materials. He writes in his blog "Hands-on care for dogs and cats is a very different thing from the more generic "hands-on animal care." Yes, HSUS runs a couple of wildlife sanctuaries and a horse ranch. There are five facilities in all. But none of them accepts dogs or cats. (You know the pets in all of those weepy HSUS ads? Remember them?)

"Just so there's no mistaking what I'm saying, HSUS doesn't run any "hands-on" dog or cat shelters. It isn't affiliated with any "hands-on" dog or cat shelters. And in 2008, it only gave out $450,000 to "hands-on" dog and cat shelters. Out of a $99+ million budget."
