Did You See Us in USA Today?

Following up on our popular “consumer alert” ad that aired last week on national TV, we have a quarter-page ad in today’s USA Today. It’s on the editorial page (11A), right next to Mitt Romney’s piece.

‘Tis the season for charity scams, after all. Click to view a PDF.

Be sure to view our “consumer alert” ad if you haven’t already, and see how you can take action with the Federal Trade Commission.

as a long-time animal support volunteer, I know that HSUS has been under scrutiny for many years, but I think if you’re going to do so you have to also explain where the money DOES go? Does anyone have statistics on that?

There WAS a billboard in Times Square on this very subject in April of this year when I visited! Don’t know if it’s still there.

To RowdysMom -
  that info is all over this website.  Search the archives and you will find all sorts of documentation showing how the HSUS does spend it’s money, and so much more factual information on them.  It’s great to get the word out!

Randy, their tax filing is a public record. They spend nearly 4 million on lobbying while Less than half of 1% of their budget goes to shelters.

Keep up the good work.  This really is a SCAM ALERT.  The truth about HSUS will set us free from HSUS.  These ARs people do not know the difference between humans and cats/dogs.

@rowdy’smom—here’s a link to a breakdown of their 2010 spending, with a pdf of HSUS’s Federal Tax Form 990, from the documents library right here on the HumaneWatch site. It’s an awesome reasource, you should check it out!

another interesting point of the HSUS is how they are tied or associtated with so many other organizations

Thanks for sharing the links!

If it hasnt already been done, can Humane Watch post every entity that HSUS is affiliated with, or who and which companies donate to HSUS so we can begin a boycott of anything they may sell.
Humane Watch, keep up the good work!
