I had gotten this email yesterday, but forgot about it.
Reader Dave H. sent me this link (AKA Clue By Four) from Ammoland
Fairfax, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- PayPal, the world’s largest money transfer service for online transactions, has aligned itself with the animal “rights” extremists at the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) through a deceptively named campaign called Paws United for a Cause!
PayPal has pledged to match donations made to HSUS through its Facebook page, up to a total of $100K, through August 31.
HSUS is no stranger to the charge of being deceptive, to put it mildly. The organization has long been accused of misleading people into thinking it has an actual relationship to directly helping mistreated or abandoned pets by operating shelters. In 2011, the group’s own tax records indicate it gave less than 1% of donor funds to pet shelters.
Never EVER donate to that scum organization. You want to do something for abandoned animals? Call your local shelter, ask them what they need and then go shopping. One you have your bags full of stuff, go personally and donate them while thanking profusely to those working the shelter.
Comedian and Prankster Tom Mabe took it to another level and God bless him for that. But even your smallest of contributions will be greatly appreciated.
You are so correct. This one frosts my ass to no end. i volunteer at a local animal shelter and have only had rescue dogs since I became an adult. HSUS are lying scumbags who don’t give a shit about shelters, only themselves. I believe they are truly a case where the people in charge are just doing this for a job. They don’t even have the decency to be zealots for their cause, they are in it for the bucks, and because of the grand name they have they manage to continue to sucker corporation over and over again. There are maybe 20 different shelters in my area along, and any one of them would be a better choice than HSUS. if you are in the south/west suburbs, might I suggest Help Save pets. WE managed to place over 1300 dogs and cats last year with an all volunteer effort. not over-paid animal rights extremists like them. F*ck the HSUS. Damn, got me fired up now, have the subject for my next post…
