People - just to let you know...The American Humane Association is NOT THE SAME ORGANIZATION as the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). Your local shelters have no affiliation with the HSUS either. It does help to write letters, etc., but you'd best know what you're talking about...most local/regional Humane Societies don't want to be confused with HSUS-- Peggy AKeller97@xxxxxxx wrote: This is the response I received from them. >In a message dated 9/15/2005 1:13:14 PM Central Daylight Time, >info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx writes: > >Thank you for your email.
