Rep. Young Refuses Humane Society Award  

Washington, Mar 30 - 
Rep. Young Refuses  Humane Society Award


Alaskan Congressman Don Young  refused an award this evening from The 
Humane Society of the United States  (HSUS) and the Humane Society Legislative 
Fund that would have honored his  work for animals in 2010.   While 
capitalizing on the good work of  local humane societies that shelter, spay, 
and 
neuter animals, the HSUS does  not own, operate, or directly control a single 
animal shelter in our country,  despite a budget of well over $100 million.

â??HSUS are hypocrites, plain  and simple, and I will not join them by 
accepting this award,â?? said Rep.  Young.  â??Local animal shelters and humane 
societies do excellent work  by caring for neglected and homeless animals, and 
through their spaying and  neutering programs.  This organization, however, 
has absolutely nothing  to do with animal welfare.  Instead they prey on the 
emotions of  big-hearted Americans.  They flash images of abused animals on 
our  television screens to raise money that will eventually go to pay their  
salaries and pensions, not to helping better the lives of these animals.   
They run anti-hunting and anti-trapping campaigns and are of the same cloth 
as  PETA and other extremist organizations.  I can only guess that I was to  
receive this award due to my support of the Wildlife Without Borders 
program,  which develops wildlife management and conservation efforts to 
maintain 
global  species diversity.  That program is true conservation; what this 
group  wants is preservation. To accept this award would be supporting their  
manipulative ways and misguided agenda, and I want no part of  that.â??
