FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONSUMER GROUP TO NEW YORK TIMES READERS: "SHOULDN'T THE 'HUMANE SOCIETY' DO
BETTER?"
Only One out of Every 200 Dollars Donated to the Humane Society of the
United States Goes to a Pet Shelter
Washington -
<http://humanewatch.org/images/uploads/2010-02-23_HumaneWatch_NYTIMES.pdf> A
full-page ad from the nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) appears in
today's New York Times, highlighting the failure of the Humane Society of
the United States (HSUS) to devote a significant amount of money to
supporting America's underfunded pet shelters. The ad explains that HSUS
shares only 1 dollar out of every 200 dollars it collects with local,
hands-on pet shelters. The ad encourages readers to find out more by
visiting <http://www.humanewatch.org/> HumaneWatch.org, CCF'snew watchdog
website.
Americans have become familiar with HSUS fundraising ads asking for a
$19-per-month commitment that amounts to an annual donation of more than
$200. But according to HSUS's own tax records, donors making that pledge are
sending barely $1 to an organization that shelters unwanted pets-the work
most Americans think of when they hear the words "Humane Society."
"HSUS's cable TV fundraising ads are full of images of dogs and cats in dire
need of help," said CCF Director of Research David Martosko. "HSUS donors
should hold the organization to a much higher standard. Instead of spending
millions on executive pensions, a bloated legal staff, and PETA-style
propaganda campaigns, HSUS's leaders should put their money where their
mouth is."

The ad reads:
Shouldn't the "Humane Society" do better?
The Humane Society of the United States is NOT your local animal shelter. In
fact, it gives less than one-half of one percent of its $100 million budget
to hands-on pet shelters.
Meanwhile, this wealthy animal rights group socked away over $2.5 million of
Americans' donations in its own pension plans.
Surprised? So were we. The dog-watchers need a watchdog. Join the discussion
at HumaneWatch.org.
Last week CCF launched <http://www.humanewatch.org/> www.HumaneWatch.org,
an online watchdog project dedicated to analyzing HSUS's activities and
keeping the group honest. It includes a blog, an interactive document
library, and a growing body of information about HSUS-related organizations
and staff.
For more information or to arrange an interview, please visit
<http://www.humanewatch.org/> www.HumaneWatch.org or call Allison Miller at

The Center for Consumer Freedom is a nonprofit watchdog organization that
informs the public about the activities of tax-exempt activist groups. It is
supported by American consumers, business organizations, and foundations.
