Makes one wonder how in the "h__l" The American Red Cross - a non profit entity has the funds to send to HSUS another non profit entity???? So goes democracy. Mary Paul adds... I'll tell you why. HSUS is an approved 1st responder to a disaster by FEMA...the Federal Emergency Management Agency. They go in and set up animal care and rescue. We should be working to see such status is revoked but who else would do what they do now? None of the "Good Guys" have the organization or the means. I personally find the revolting...an organization dedicated to the obiteration of companion animals and animal agriculture getting kudo's and financial support from the Red Cross. Add to that the millions they get in donations from unsuspecting, well meaning individuals. Paul ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
