HSUS exposed - and what happened next

On May 14th, an award winning WSB-TV news reporter told the nation that the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) spends almost all the money it gets from animal lovers ... on lobbying for animal rights laws.

How much is that? HSUS' 2007 financials (the most recent year available) show its' income was over $100 million, and total assets were over $200 million. This report marked the first time that millions of Americans learned how the HSUS spends its' tax-free dollars.

The story also mentioned that the Attorney General of Louisiana investigated HSUS after tens of millions in donations meant for Hurricane Katrina animal victims went missing. And that the AG ceased investigating when HSUS offered to build a new animal control facility.

• The best timeline on what happened after the expose is here - read it and weep for freedom of speech.
• The H$U$ TV report is available on at least one out-of-country site now. The most reliable place to get the video (today) is here - no guarantees on how long it will be available.
• And here's what happened to the folks at PetPAC, a 65,000 member organization which lobbies to protect pet owners' rights.

Stay tuned; I'm sure there is more to come on this story.
