Washington, DC –-(Ammoland.com)-HumaneWatch.org, a project of the nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom, is airing a satirical Super Bowl commercial titled “Lawyers in Cages.” The ad, which will air during pre-game prior to kickoff, parodies the Humane Society of the United States’ (HSUS) weepy commercials by illustrating that HSUS’s priority isn’t pets—it’s politics.

Despite its name, and what most Americans believe, HSUS is not affiliated with local humane societies, and gives them only 1 percent of its $140 million dollar budget. And even though it’s called a “Humane Society” and raises money with images of needy cats and dogs, HSUS doesn’t operate a single pet shelter.
However, it does employ dozens of well-paid lawyers and lobbyists. Worse yet, since 2012, HSUS has socked away over $150 million of contributions into offshore Caribbean accounts. But all the lawyers, lobbyists and offshore accounts come at a cost to animals: HSUS recently stopped funding a wildlife care center due to budget shortfalls!
“The public needs to know that they—and shelter pets—are being abused by HSUS,” said Will Coggin, managing director of the Center for Consumer Freedom. “People who are sick of the scam should send their donations to local shelters. That is where they can make a difference”.

The HSUS was founded in 1954 to care for animals in crisis and tackle systemetic abuses on a national and global scale.That is cruelties beyond the reach of local organizations and agencies.The HSUS is under attack by animal abusing industries.The truth is HSUS is the largest and most effective animal welfare organizations, with a staggering long list of accomplishments, and that is why animal abusers are terrified of what they have accomplished on behalf of animals. HSUS along with their affiliates are the number one provider of Animal Care among animal organizations. Just like the National Rifle Association doesn’t run… Read more »
Following the Joplin Mo. tornado, the HSUS and their volunteers, of whom I was one, were largely responsible for saving the lives of over 500 cats and nearly 800 dogs. Every HSUS volunteer on site worked their tails off for those animals. The ASPCA came and held some news conferences and then did little else. I was very much impressed and became active in the HSUS. Unfortunately I ALSO BELONG TO THE NRA, DUCKS UNLIMITED,AND A LOCAL GUN CLUB. I soon became a persona non grata for anything but my $$$$$. I now work with a local no kill shelter… Read more »
HSUS are no better than Scam Artists, their frauds, they only give about 1% of what they take in from people that want to help Animals and all they are doing is taking care of their selves, Don’t give these Crooks one red cent, and tell everyone you know about these Criminals, and with everyone’s help we can put these Crooks out of Business….
Somebody please send this to country singer Carrie what’s her name, who supports these scumbags!
Wake up people… You’re being manipulated and it’s not by HSUS. This is the propoganda paid for by big agriculture and other organizations that exploit the suffering of animals. They are trying to destroy HSUS because HSUS have been so effective in their campaign to expose the horrendous suffering and cruelty in factory farming ect. HSUS has not only exposed the horrific cruelty to animals, but has also exposed practices in big agriculture, factory farming, and the dairy industry that poses health risks to humans..Look at who is really behind the attacks of HSUS and who is paying for this… Read more »
The HSUS has done wonders to pass laws to save animals like dogs used in dog fighting. They have also helped stop the inhumane use of gestation crates for pigs where they spend their whole lives confined not able to turn around, standing in their feces, while nursing their piglets. The HSUS also helps stop the use of battery cages for hens and veal crates for baby calves who are stolen from their mothers at birth and are slaughtered at 4 months. We need organizations to be their voice. Animal shelters are wonderful and help cats, dogs and rabbits find… Read more »
What do you call 20,000 laywers at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico? A good start.
Same here. I had many dogs and cats over many years and never did I go out and looked for one.
They just showed up and my wife and I fed them after
That they were well cared for until they died.
There are millions of people that do the same thing plus help the local shelter
In our area there are a lot of small organizations which do a really good job.
The Houston Humane Society (which is not affiliated with the national !) is as good as it gets for large organizations.
The bulk of their money actually goes to care for the animals.
The SPCA (like the HSUS) is pretty much universally despised, for several good reasons.
Wild Bill, that’s great. Unfortunately, I live in a subdivision so I am limited to how many dogs I can have without being a pest to my neighbors. We have two dogs we rescued from the local shelter and they are great companions plus good watch dogs. Dogs do not have to be trained to be mean to make good alarms and if the threat would ever occur there is the backup of propelled lead to finish the job.
