Animal Rescue Groups Trying To Save Dogs From HSUS

Here is another good example of what I am talking about. In February, animal rescue groups are pleading with the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) not to destroy 150 dogs and puppies. They even offered to pay them money.

"They even extended offers of assistance, support, and resources. But HSUS refused, arguing that all the dogs should be killed, including puppies who were born after the seizure and posed no threat to public safety." But the HSUS insists that the dogs are to be put down.

"The resulting outcry forced HSUS CEO Wayne Pacelle, who had defended the slaughter and HSUS’ handling of the criticism, to back down. While stopping short of an apology or admitting they were wrong in having the dogs killed (including forcing a volunteer to return puppies to be killed), they agreed to re-evaluate their position and meet in Las Vegas to come up with a more humane policy.'

The Humane Society of the United States runs no animal shelter of any kind. Last year in 2007, they earned 107 million dollars. Just where did they spend that kind of money?? It sure wasn't helping out animals in trouble.

Read it for yourself.

Canadian Humane Societies arguing.

During the 2009 Calgary Stampede, the Alberta SPCA and the Calgary Humane Society (CHS) were on hand to insure that all animals involved with the stampede were being treated properly. No problem...right...wrong. A British Columbia animal-rights group is at odds with its Alberta counterpart over claims of animal cruelty at Canada's largest and most famous rodeo.

The Vancouver Humane society has criticized the Calgary Humane Society and the Alberta SPCA. They felt that they should not be at the stampede. Not exactly sure why. The CHS stated "We are very confident in our animal welfare procedures. We care passionately about these animals. We work with the Alberta SPCA and we will continue to do so."

And to get more media attention out of the deal, the Canadian Humane Society joined in the fracas. They wanted the T.V. stations to stop broadcasting the stampede. " On Thursday, CTV News reported on the Humane Society of Canada's request to the CRTC to ban all broadcasting of rodeo events." Confused ?? There's more to come yet.

The Calgary animal rights group is also in there. This animal rights group is on the stampede grounds with about a dozen people protesting against it. So as it stands right now, we have two groups supporting the Calgary stampede and two groups protesting against it.

I need a program to figure all this out.

PETA virses Friends of Animals

An ongoing war between two US animal rights groups - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and Friends of Animals (FOA) culminated in a bizarre showdown last year that saw each group outside a KFC restaurant with PETA lauding the chain for including substitute chicken on its menu while FOA protested against both PETA and KFC.

Hostilities between the groups stretch back over several years with the latest installment involving PETA suing FOA in an attempt to close down their rehabilitation house for non-native animals. Allow me to point out here that both animal rights organizations are using donated money to fight each other. This money was supposed to go towards helping animals. (or so I thought)

A 2006 courtroom drama between People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and fellow animal rights group Friends of Animals (FOA) and its subsidiary Primarily Primates unfolded into a ridiculous farce that saw a bunch of PETA funded chimpanzees attempt to sue FOA for alleged animal abuse. Oh my god-now we have the monkeys suing Friends of Animals.

The batty legal proceedings were first instigated in 2006 and named nine chimpanzees as the plaintiffs. PETA funded the 'plaintiffs' and alleged they had been abused.

I am getting a headache now.
