In light of recent documentation obtained regarding the seizing and sale of dogs in Southern Indiana, the question must be raised, “What is Indiana State Rep. Linda Lawson’s involvement in this situation?” Reported in a previous article by AR-HR.com, Rep. Linda Lawson was seen participating in the June 2, 2009 seizure of dogs from the [...]

“Perception is Reality”
Its a phrase frequently tossed around in media, communications and especially in advertising. Its also a concept that the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has previously managed to leverage at an unprecedented level. The overall public perception of the Humane Society of the United States often different dramatically from the actual activities of [...]
Many who read this site know I often draw inspiration from Twitter in addition to media and other blogs. The appeal of Twitter lies in the capturing of real-time responses to a wide-variety of conversations and thoughts by individuals and organizations across the broad spectrum of perspectives related to the human-animal relationship.

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 [...]
In a previous article, I spoke of the members of the Animal Rights and Rescue community who were up in arms; condemning President Obama for making what he considered to be the best choice of dog for his children.

Isn’t this a pretty picture. Animal Rights and Rescue groups are gearing up a propaganda machine of complaints against President Obama for making an informed choice of dog for his children. The hue and cry boils down to “How dare he choose his children over a shelter dog?”
PAWS Chicago and other rescuers are already messaging on Twitter to [...]
Congratulations to the daughters of the Obama family on their beautiful new Portuguese Water Dog pup, Bo. He is a gorgeous dog and by all reports a healthy and well-mannered pup as well. They are lucky to have found him, as he is lucky to have found them. Given the highly active atmosphere of the White [...]
If you have followed any of the recent HSUS anti-puppy mill campaigns, you might remember a sad-eyed little 3-legged poodle named Baby. You might have even seen the pictures of Baby in the arms of President Obama. Once a ‘puppy mill’ dog, now the subject of a book, a HSUS movement and website, “A Rare Breed of Love”. The [...]
I must give Wayne Pacelle his due, the man has a wicked sense of irony. Its April Fool’s Day and he posts on his blog, “Battling to Breed Better Laws” After reading the entry completely, its unclear though who he thinks he’s fooling. He is even claiming that HSUS is the martyr in this situation. Over [...]
