Wayne Pacelle Says HSUS Unfairly Portrayed by Animal Agriculture Critics

Wayne Pacelle of the Humane Society of the United States says that his group is being treated unfairly by those who are buying the arguments against HSUS by groups like the Center for Consumer Freedom.
It's been noted more than a few times that less that one-half-of-one-percent of funds raised by the animal welfare group The Humane Society of the United States actually goes toward helping Humane Societies across the Country. HSUS CEO Wayne Pacelle explains the tie between his group and local humane societies was never intended to include a pass through of funds from the HSUS to the local animal shelters.
Pacelle goes on to say that the Center For Consumer Freedom taking the stance they too care about pet shelters or animal welfare is absurd - and CCF is only focusing on HSUS because it is so effective and making a difference. The Center for Consumer Freedom is the group that was started by David Martosko, who has upped the intensity of the pressure on the HSUS with the initiation of the website, Humane Watch, whose banner says they are around to keep a watchful eye on the Humane Society of the United States.
