Humane Society for Shelter Pets
Humane confusion is widespread in America. Despite the words “humane society” in its name, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is not formally affiliated with any humane societies that operate at a city, county or regional level. HSUS does not run a single pet shelter. And the vast majority of its funds are kept for its own agenda. One percent of its budget consists of grants to pet shelters. Most Americans aren’t aware of these facts.
Similarly, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) is not affiliated with other local SPCAs (but does run one shelter in New York City). Generally, pet shelters are independent organizations.
Editors note: A fool and his money are soon parted. Just remember that the Republican Party and these groups don’t spend the money where you might want.
