interesting thing about it, HSUS is NOT an extension of the US government. It has absolutely no affiliation with the US government at all. The video you are watching is an elaborate scam put together by HSUS as a means of collecting 130 million dollars a year from the unsuspecting average person. The video shows real footage of animal poachers at their best, but the implications that are brought about by HSUS are unfounded, and no proof of their accusations have ever been materialized.
HSUS brings in more money annually than every local humane society in the USA needs to adequately operate their facilities, yet they only seem to be able to donate in some cases less than $150,000 per year.
The real meat behind HSUS, their real intention, is to bring forth their opinions on eating meat, eggs, and dairy products. The leaders of this organization, it should be noted, are all vegans, and believe that all of the world should be vegans too.
They offered to build an animal shelter for the humane society of washington D.C., but they wanted in return, tax exemption on all of their investment incomes, and several valuable properties, when the city offered the properties on a lease, HSUS withdrew, and still to this day, does not operate a single shelter.
It is my firm belief that HSUS is a bad foundation, with bad values, and even worse ethics. For more information, go here
