A Facebook friend tipped me off to a great blog.
Nathan J Winograd has a lot to say about the Humane Society of the United States, and I’m pretty sure HSUS wouldn’t really appreciate it.
Another friend on Facebook shares 2007 tax information for the organization that is simply astounding. The amount of money made by HSUS — compared to the pennies it throws back to local humane societies that actually help animals is shocking — or it would be, if I didn’t already know what they’re all about.
Will share some stats once I become better acquainted with the 80 pages of government forms sent along … ahhh, tax time.
(You can be a friend on Facebook, too.)

CROSS-POSTING from U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance
Sportsmen Should Tell ‘American Idol’: No “Home Sweet Home” for HSUS [link]
Sportsmen have been contacting Fox Broadcasting since the release of our action alert yesterday about country music star Carrie Underwood’s rendition of “Home Sweet Home.”
According to Carrie Underwood’s official website and Sony Music’s country label, the song is going to be used each week on the hit television show when a contestant is voted off. The first airing of the song was last night, March 11.
Unfortunately, Underwood has made clear that a portion of the proceeds from subsequent sales of that song will go to benefit the largest anti-hunting organization in the nation, HSUS. This will give HSUS even more money to direct towards hunters, anglers, and trappers nationwide.
“Carrie Underwood has decided to use her talents to benefit an organization dedicated to destroying the rights of thousands of her fans,” said U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) senior vice president, Rick Story. “HSUS does not operate or oversee animal shelters; it is a radical organization that seeks to end hunting and other responsible uses of animals in America.”
Story said that sportsmen must send American Idol a strong message that its indirect support of HSUS, is not appreciated.
Sportsmen can make a difference. Companies such as Iams, General Mills, Accor Hotels, Pet Safe, Sears, Meijer Inc, and Ace Hardware ended relationships with HSUS after thousands of sportsmen levied strong protest.
The USSA will keep sportsmen informed of developments on this issue.
Take Action! Sportsmen are urged to contact key personnel at American Idol’s parent company, Fox Broadcasting and demand that Underwood’s song not be given a stage to raise money for HSUS.
Letters should be sent to:
Mr. Peter Liguori
Fox Broadcasting Company
Chairman of Entertainment
10201 West Pico Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90064-2606
Phone calls should be directed to Fox Broadcasting at 310-369-3066.
Faxes should be sent to 310-369-1283.
Also, e-mail the show at askfox@fox.com.
