It appears that the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is not above learning from those it has targeted.
On April 27, 2010 the HSUS filed a ‘color of Law’ suit against Ohio Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner, in conjunction with Michigan lawyer Beatrice M Friedlander. The basis for the alleging Ms. Friedlander’s rights are [...]
We have lost a Warrior.
We lost John Yates, founder of the American Sporting Dog Alliance, on September 15. Though he fought his battles for pet owners with pen & paper, with script & screen, John was no less a warrior than a man on the battlefield.
With his research and writings on legislative issues, he fired [...]

It has come to light how the Humane Society of the United States gained possession of the dogs from the Indiana jeopardy tax assessment raid. On June 3, 2009, the HSUS purchased all 241 of dogs seized from the Garwood’s farm in Indiana for the grand total of $300 as shown in page 1 [...]
If you read this site regularly, you know that I normally write from the head about facts, consequences and ask alot of questions. There are exceptions though when I write more from the heart. Usually these are inspired by a recent event, like the inter-state dog fight raids this week, in combination with viewing or [...]
In the AR-HR.com article published on June 11, 2009, “Why is Indiana Attorney General Zoeller Ignoring Citizen Inquiries into Handling of Tax Evasion Case“, a number of questions were posed regarding the conduct of the AG’s office were raised:
Why has property seized by the state of Indiana been handed over to an organization predominantly involved in political [...]
The interstate dog-fighting raids this week were a huge story that received lots of media attention, and rightfully so.

I had a couple of thoughts last night, dangerous I know. They stem from a key question:
“Why are so many people convinced that pet ‘adoption’ differs from pet purchase?”

Welcome to my bi-weekly philosophical self-examination.
Although it might surprise you to hear, I struggle with my own ideas on animal care legislation. I struggle especially when it comes to the matters of companion animal legislation. It wounds me to the core to find myself unable to stand shoulder to shoulder with many good people. Warm-hearted, [...]
Concerns have been swirling regarding circumstances surrounding the seizure of dogs from a dog breeding operation in Maukport, Indiana. By media reports, although the grounds for the removal of the dogs from the property owner was owed sales taxes, the dogs have also been reported turned over to the HSUS (Humane Society of the United States) [...]
In Public Perception is not the HSUS Reality, Part 1, I examined some of the glaring disparities between the public perception of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and the realities of their work and positions. At practically every level HSUS representatives declare that they are explicitly clear in the their goals and purposes, as demonstrated [...]
To Wayne Pacelle, CEO of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) in response to his “Humane Nation” blog article asking “Why Must Puppy Mill Regulations Raise Hackles”
Wayne, Wayne, Wayne … May I call you Wayne? After the past couple of months of reading your blog, I’m starting to feel like I know you. After [...]
