Sorry everyone! Petition Link


Your local ASPCA is fine... They use the money to help the animals
there. They always need donations from your time to help to food to
money.... this is an email on hsus. (sorry wont capitalize due to NO
respect for them.)


The Humane Society of the United States has mounted a huge campaign to
raise money to care for the dogs rescued from Michael Vick's
dogfighting ring. The plea comes complete with a heartbreaking picture
of one of the injured dogs. (Not surprisingly, studies have shown that
people donate more when shown a picture of or told a story about a
single animal needing help. (HSUS is very clever at fundraising.) But
before you contribute, please note:

1) There is a disclaimer in fine print at the bottom of the form which
says your donation may be used for other HSUS programs and may not be
used to help the dog fight victims.

2) There has been no accounting for the nearly $20 million HSUS raised
for the Katrina dogs and cats. The organization is under investigation
by the Louisiana Attorney General for their handling of that
situation.

3) HSUS has NO shelter. It is a corporate office building in
Washington, DC. is supposedly "overseeing" the care of the dogs that
were seized from Vick's house, but we don't know where the animals
are, Will the shelter actually providing their care receive all the
donations this campaign generates? The dogs are in a bunch of
different shelters in Va...


4) There is no reason to believe that your contributions will go to
help the dogs seized from Michael Vick or any other dogs or cats. HSUS
spends most of its money on legislative efforts to make dog breeding
impossible and pet ownership more difficult, more expensive, and more
dangerous.


5) HSUS claims its servers crashed from the response to their first
appeal for money for these dogs, yet they are still out there beating
the drum for more money, still claiming more is needed for the Vick
dogs.

And if you are still considering writing that check, read the
following quotes from Wayne Pacelle, president of HSUS:



"I don't have a hands-on fondness for animals...To this day I don't
feel bonded to any non-human animal. I like them and I pet them and
I'm kind to them, but there's no special bond between me and other
animals." quoted in Bloodties: Nature, Culture and the Hunt by Ted
Kerasote, 1993, p. 251.

"We have no problem with the extinction of domestic animals. They are
creations of human selective breeding." quoted in Animal People, May,
1993.

When asked if he envisioned a future without pets: "If I had my
personal view, perhaps that might take hold. In fact, I don't want to
see another dog or cat born." Wayne Pacelle quoted in Bloodties:
Nature, Culture and the Hunt by Ted Kerasote, 1993, p. 266.


Where are the millions in contributions they already receive every
year? If you have money to contribute, please send it to your
**local** shelter. Donations received by local shelters do help
animals. The money sent to HSUS does not.
