David Martosko of the Center for Consumer Freedom in Washington, D.C. says that news media and policy makers need to stop confusing the Humane Society of the United States as your local humane society or an animal welfare organization. He calls it a radical animal rights group.
Rather than causing spectacles with naked interns, HSUS uses its excessive funding (mostly from Americans who mistakenly believe they’re supporting local pet shelters) to drive a radical animal rights agenda. It’s anti-meat, anti-hunting, and even anti-medical research. And it’s not affiliated with any pet shelters anywhere in the United States.
Sometimes a “humane society” isn’t really a “humane society.” And sometimes animal “welfare” advocates are really animal “rights” zealots in sheep’s clothing.
