Humane society launches attack on hunting contests

[4X4Dad]

I've never had any respect for this organization . It's all about the money . One of the contests listed is coyotes ! I guess since one of the favorite prey in urban areas is cats , it cuts into their profits !

Kobach: Humane Society Launches Multistate Attack on Hunting Contest

The ultra-liberal Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has initiated a broad attack on the great American tradition of hunting.

The Humane society follows the pattern of many other organizations. They start out well intentioned, but soon discover that there is money to be made in building a dynasty. From that point forward, the goals soon become one of growing the organization and bringing in more funds, people, recognition, and did I say MONEY?

Take a look at the state's involved.
Even Montana has been infiltrated by the leftist with them hiding in plain sight leftist.
The humane society in my county still stays true to it's roots and I do donate to them, however they survive pretty much month by month and sometimes week by week.

need to remove tax free status for all these organizations...

Hunters have done more good for wildlife than all of these organizations combined.

My mother had supported them monetarily and with supplies for many years . My mother is an animal lover , but when too many cats were dropped off at her farm , she finally took 1 to the same Humane society that she supported . They told her it would cost her $100.00 ? to drop it off . She adopted the cat and NEVER donated anything to them again . Me being a hunter , well , we already know what I think of them .

DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE of thinking that HSUS (in this story) is "the Humane Society." The article is poorly written and fails to make the distinction. HSUS is purely a liberal animal rights activist/political machine and they have nothing to do with your local Humane Shelter. They exist solely to raise money for liberal political (Socialist) goals. Almost none of the money they raise goes to helping animals anywhere. The local Humane Shelters do good work for the most part, but they operate on a shoestring budget, and as such, some aren't managed as well as they should be. Depending on where you are, they rarely get involved in social issues other than pushing spay/neuter ad campaigns, etc. HSUS on the other hand, is the richest Animal Rights activist organization on earth. Local Humane Societies focus on Animal Welfare, whereas groups like HSUS and PETA are all about Animal Rights - HUGE difference.

ArmyJerry's comment above reminded me of a funny story. My uncle used to be a scoutmaster back in the 1960's. He took his group of kids out for a camp out, and because he had a farm, he thought that he could save money by grilling some rabbits over an open fire, and that the kids could learn about cooking, and have the fun of grilling something like is seen on movies where the food is cooked by rotating it on a spit over the fire.

After camp was set up, all the tents and sleeping bags were rolled out, they started getting dinner ready...potatoes rolled up in foil by the side of the fire, etc. One of the kids asked what they would be eating, and while the rabbit was rotating over the fire, he jokingly said "Cats, we are eating cats." I guess the kid took him seriously, and he told all the other kids, and not one of them would eat cats... The more he tried to explain that he was only joking, the more convinced the kids were that he was trying to trick them into eating cats. None of the kids would eat the cats...errrr rabbits.

Jerry saying pussy's reminded me of the cat story.

Man your memory is so far outta the gutter you aint bringing no fun to the pit anymore.

And you would have no way of knowing based on that article. I like Breitbart, but that was sloppy.

Ben Franklin founded it and with only the best intentions. It's one of the oldest institutions in the US, maybe older than the regular army (which technically is much later than 1774).

$100 to drop it off? They charge at least that much to "adopt" an animal too. And if you don't pay 'em, well, they'll just gas 'em and try to make YOU feel bad for it. They're clearing more profit than a breeder with zero overhead due to tax free status and donations.

Haven't given a fuck about them my whole life; when I was 4 my Irish setter went missing and I learned all I needed to know about them. He could clear fences with ease and this would have been 1979 or 80 I guess, he ran off a lot (sometimes my shitbag father would try to dump him and he'd run back). Well, my father took me there and we looked in all the pens, and when we were leaving they had a tall, solid gate you couldn't see through, but it was left open...

I saw one of those big trucks with a shallow dump bed and it had a PILE of dead dogs on it. A hundred, at least. I'll never forget that, not as long as I live.

Fuck them. And if they ever "find" my dog and then try to charge me or cut his balls off (I've heard of that too, and if you don't pay, you don't get your dog back) or god forbid they kill him, I'll burn the goddamn place to the ground to ensure it never happens there again; I don't pay ransoms or negotiate with terrorists and that ain't no threat, it's a solemn promise in gold.

Yeah, I'm talking about the local dog pound in H'ville AL that used to be on N. Jordan Lane. That's the Humane Society. They "humanely" gassed 'em pretty much like Hitler "humanely" gassed Jews.

They've told me about charging fees for dogs too. I'm not making this shit up. God forbid your dog ever ends up in their hands.

I get that ferals and shitbags that abandon dogs (like my father) in number become a problem, but so does their practices when money is involved. I only hear good about them in commercials and ads begging for money. When it comes to actually having to deal with in person, I haven't been impressed and after 40+ years, I'm not holding my breath.

Stryker, you’re a solid guy I’m my book but you have no idea how a local Humane Shelter works. If you think they operate at a profit you are grossly mistaken. They are simply overwhelmed with far more incoming than they can ever possibly find homes for or have room to house. The comparison to Hitler and Jews is off base. No one at a shelter wants to euthanize an animal, but they are tasked to deal with an insurmountable problem and the result is hard to stomach. They try to place every animal they can, but if you only have 50 runs and 100 animals dumped on you, the ones that aren’t adoptable get euthanized to make room for ones that can have a chance. That truck full of dogs you saw is a sad reality, unfortunately. It happens far more than anyone not involved would ever believe because the problem is far bigger than most people would ever realize. It’s not my intent to try and change your mind, as your experience has clearly made an indelible impression, but I can tell you that the three County shelters I deal with in my A/O (Montgomery, Autauga, and Elmore in central AL) do the best they can with shamefully limited resources. It is a hopeless task. You compare them to Hitler, but it’s more like a Corpsman on Omaha Beach. They try to help the ones they can with their limited resources, and have to let the ones they can’t help go, otherwise the ones who are salvageable will be lost as well. And, as to my original point (which I’m not sure you took), the ads you see on TV begging for money are almost entirely HSUS (and to a lesser extent, ASPCA). They have nothing to do with local shelters and are liberal political organizations (although ASPCA does have some good and some bad, whereas HSUS is a pure scam). The only (few) ads I’ve ever seen for the shelters in this region are donated PSAs from the local stations, and they beg for people to come adopt a pet more than donate. There’s a LOT of stuff I hate about shelters, but I deal with them daily and I don’t have a better solution to offer. I’m not smart enough. If you do, I know they’d be grateful. But the fact is, the funding they get from their County governments is heavily competed for, and the politicians prefer to give it to things that will get them re-elected. Humane shelters don’t rank very high on that list.

The HSUS is a commie organization. They want all animals to be free from human contact... dogs, cats, cows, chickens.... You name it.

Protect The Harvest is an organization we all should be donating to or volunteering for.
