ASPCA and Humane Society aren't going to spend a large portion of their budgets on anti-hunting initiatives, or so I hope.

I do wish that they'd focus on better treatment of pets and captive animals, rather than devote any time to hunting related issues.

I won't be giving any more money to either, even though I don't hunt, if I find otherwise. I expect my money to go to pay for shelters, spay and neuter programs, and increasing legal penalties for wanton cruelty.

Humane Society US is not a spay neuter org

They are an animal rights group that mimics the Animal Shelter orgs

They are very anti hunting

All of our campaigns share a common goal: to provide people with the tools they need to bring about change. We are commited to making the world safe for animals through legal, educational, legislative, and investigative means. Our national campaigns cover issues on the protection of pets, wildlife, farm animals, marine mammals, and animals in research. They often involve celebrity support, where animal-friendly celebrities lend a hand to our efforts.

The Humane Society of the United States is strongly opposed to the hunting of any living creature for fun, trophy, or for sport, because of the trauma, suffering, and death to the animals which results._ The HSUS also opposes such killing because of the negative effect upon the young who may learn to accept and live with needless suffering and killing._ The HSUS believes that a civilized society should not condone the killing of any sentient creature as sport.

The HSUS believes that the characterization of wild animals as “game” denies their intrinsic value and belittles their ecological importance._ The Society finds that a great deal of wildlife allegedly killed for management reasons actually is killed as “game” for “sporting” purposes._ In such cases, we oppose both the killing and the duplicity._ It is the goal of The HSUS to ensure ethical stewardship of wildlife and its environment.

The HSUS recognizes that the welfare and responsible management of animals may, on occasion, necessitate the killing of wildlife._ When such killing is permitted, it must be used as a last resort, be demonstrably necessary, be conducted by responsible officials, and methods utilized must result in an instantaneous and humane death.

The HSUS also recognizes that the legitimate needs for human subsistence may necessitate the killing of wildlife._ In such cases, killing must be accomplished in a humane and non-wasteful manner and must not involve endangered or threatened animals.

Another group co-opted by nutcases and zealots.


They should call themselves PETA-lite
