I am glad somebody is pointing this out. I don't care if this guy is connected with the Moonie Times. A broken clock is right twice a day:
When King alleges the group is run by vegetarians intent on taking meat off America's tables, he is just taking Humane Society honcho Wayne Pacelle at his word. Pacelle is a vegan - a vegetarian who not only doesn't eat meat but also refuses cheese, milk and eggs. In a long interview with Vegan.com, Pacelle says he wants to bring people along to "as compassionate a diet as they can handle." His own vegan diet being the most compassionate.
And then, of course, there is the fact that the Humane Society funds People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, according to its most recent IRS disclosure forms posted on the group's Web site. PETA openly campaigns to stop the consumption of meat. "Meat is Murder," you know.
...
The latest data publicly available show that the Humane Society spent $24 million on fundraising expenses, roughly a quarter of its budget and more than the $20 million it claims to directly spend on animals. This is one reason that this year Charity Navigator downgraded both the Humane Society of the United States and its international affiliate. According to the group's IRS disclosures, only 40 cents on the dollar from telemarketing actually went to the Humane Society of the United States. The group raised $1.2 million from public events, but none of that money went to charitable work because the fundraising events cost even more to put on.
They're not the ASPCA.

The Humane Society of the United States is notorious for misleading consumers by showing "worse case scenarios" and playing it off like that's the norm. Only 1/2 of 1% of HSUS donations actually go directly to animals for their care...all other goes to lobbying efforts or to fatten their own pockets....don't believe, check out their 2008 tax filing! Over 40 execs were paid well over 100K while your local & not related humane societies struggle to keep their shelter open daily. Want to help animals, donate local!!!
