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.

I have been against “animal rights” since I first learned what motivates the core philosophy of the agenda: it is anti-human thinking that believes the Earth would be better off if humans were wiped from the face of the planet.
It is an agenda that includes the extermination of pets as founding members feel they would be better off not existing as they have been manipulated by humans to be our “slaves.”
I’ve been watching the words and actions of key players in the movement since the early 90s.
Animal rights isn’t about ending cruelty to rodeo animals—it’s about terminating the human-horse relationship and brainwashing the masses to stop eating beef and chicken, eggs and cheese.
(I started writing this weeks ago and it’s been living in my drafts. Seemed timely to finish it up and publish.)
Support animal welfare. Treat animals humanely.
Support local humane organizations. Donate food and other necessities.
Support education for pet owners, such as affordable spay/neuter programs.
Stop empowering PETA, HSUS and other lobbying groups from taking rights away from families who have raised animals for generations.
I was irritated to see that a well-meaning friend had inadvertently sent me a SuperPoke on Facebook that promoted the animal rights cause. This cattle farmer would have never deliberately supported an animal rights agenda, but it was slipped in with a cutesy “adopt a pet” message.
PETA doesn’t want you to adopt pets. PETA killed 97% of the animals it claimed to “rescue” last year. Adoptable animals, young and healthy, killed by the score and dumped in the trash—or stacked in their huge walk-in freezer.
When your life is threatened due to your stance on an issue, it becomes more than just an opinion.
More on the animal rights agenda as time allows.
A few of my lenses in progress:

PeTA is Michael Jackson. No one would leave their small child or dog with him, but as long as he isn’t in their living room, he’s considered harmless. Never mind the walk-in freezer in the back for the bodies.
HSUS is Michael Jackson in a very convincing Mister Rogers mask. Most people trust him because on the outside he seems completely harmless, associated with good and wholesome things. Peel away the layers, and you find an organization run with the same basic leaders and fundamental beliefs as PeTA.
The good work that many local humane societies do has nothing to do with HSUS. They are a powerful political lobbying group. No one that I would leave a small child or dog with unattended.
