WSB-TV Investigative Report, 14 May 2009
We never thought we'd write this, but we found something to like about the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Bear with us.
As far as we know, an Iranian video-sharing service called "Vidoosh" (similar to YouTube) is the only online place where you can see the video below. It's a news report broadcast on May 14, 2009 by WSB-TV, the ABC News affiliate in Atlanta, Georgia. And contrary to what HSUS has suggested on numerous occasions, it has not been retracted by WSB. Rather, the TV station issued a "clarification," saying that HSUS disagreed with one portion of it. But to their credit, the WSB news department stuck to their guns.
HSUS went to a lot of trouble to get this piece of video completely erased from YouTube, and reportedly threatened WSB to the point where the station no longer hosts the video itself. But the truth can be told. It's possible to do it, and for millions of people to see it.
Somehow, somewhere—even if it's in a Middle Eastern country not known for protecting free speech—the truth will survive.
Watch the video after the jump.
p.s.—We did not upload this to Vidoosh.
Update: One copy of it is still available on YouTube. Thanks to Wendy for the correction.

thank you for doing this… it is long overdue and I am excited about how much this new site can inform.
That pretty much sums it all up doesn’t it?
Thanks for sharing. Maybe if a couple hundred of us post them on Youtube at the same time, it would stay up for a while before HSUS scrambled to get them all taken down…
I just requested printed materials….just wanted you to know I send your emails out to my little lit of about 180 people in CA (who send to the world)and emails to a dog list of about 30 in AZ. Two of us put up 100 billboards in LA last year… http://www.exposeanimalrights.com
and this year 75 billboards…

It frankly doesn’t surprise me that this video still exists online only in a place where Wacky Wayne’s cadre of lawyers not only have less than no influence, but would likely wind up being arrested and executed on live t.v.
Oops! I just went to YouTube, and the video is not at the link from Wendy you have posted.
But nothing wrong with Vidoosh.
Spread the link! People believe the talking heads! lol!
Oh ... and for those of you overseas who don’t believe that HSUS is an international concern - Cheryl McAuliffe confirms that right here.
Beware those who would ‘help’ you with your animal management programs, or create some for you.

I’m wondering how long it will be before the nuts start claiming that this is proof that CCF is funded by Iran now.
