U.S. humane society gets a ‘D’ rating

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is gunning for animal agriculture on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border, and won a vote to end battery egg cage production in California more than a year ago. Now the Center For Consumer Freedom, based in Washington, D.C., has its sights set directly on that organization. The Center cites a 2010 Watchdog Report from Animal People News, which it says determined that HSUS spends 50 cents of every donated dollar on continued fund raising and overhead costs. CCF has determined that the HSUS shares less than one per cent of its public contributions with pet shelters.
