Inquiry into HSUS
It's now official. I would suggest that any and every person who witnessed
first hand any maltreatment or killing of animals or mismanagement of the
animal disaster relief effort by the HSUS or has any information regarding
exclusion of local rescue groups as fosters or failures to effectively
reunite pets with their legal owners contact the Louisiana Attorney
General's office immediately unless you have already done so. Even if your
testimony does not concern Louisiana specifically, but has to do with the
HSUS operations in Mississippi, Alabama, or Florida or even during a
previous hurricane, contact them as well. If you are not an eye witness
but know someone who was, please feel free to forward this message to them.

Attorney General Charles Foti Opens Inquiry into Humane
Society of the United States March 27, 2006: (Baton Rouge,
LA)?Attorney General Charles C. Foti, Jr., announced today that his office
has opened an inquiry into allegations involving funds raised for pet /owner
reunions by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). The Attorney
General?s Office is asking the HSUS for an accounting of all funds HSUS
raised for the purpose of pet rescue and reunion with pet owners in the
aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
The Attorney General?s office has received numerous complaints from pet
owners about problems many are having finding their pets following
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Through its association with other animal
welfare organizations nationwide, HSUS has documented and placed animals in
shelters around the country, often resulting in the displaced pets?
adoption. In some cases, pet owners claim that those who are currently
caring for the displaced pets are refusing to reunite the pet with the
proper owners.
?Once again we will be on the lookout to make sure that those who seek to
raise money for Hurricane victims in our state, do exactly what they claim
to do when soliciting funds,? stated General Foti, ?While I commend the work
of the many wonderful charitable organizations that have come forward to
help us in our time of need, I also want people to know that they cannot
take advantage of our situation in any way,? added General Foti.
The Attorney General is asking anyone with information about questionable
fundraising activities by animal groups or any other groups to please
contact the Attorney General?s Consumer Protection Section at 1-800-351-4889
or visit our website at www.ag.state.la.us.
