Wow is all I have to say

[Eventide]

Doesn't surprise me one bit. They'll use any angle they can, and spread any falsehood they can, to get their way.

Y'know what's even better? They don't like the entire pet trade. The following quote is taken directly from their website.

"The HSUS opposes the sale of dogs, cats, and other animals through pet stores and other commercial operations."

So...they don't want any animal bought or sold. Interesting. I wonder just what they want to do with them, then....

I've perused their spendatures from last year (they post their tax papers on their website). It's sad where most of their money seems to go: salaries and lobbying. And on another paper (accessible from their website) they state multiple times that in 2008, they helped just over 70,000 pets. I thought that a rather pathetic number for a company whose assets total nearly $200 million (again, from tax papers).

Let's take a huge leap of faith and assume that this article from HSUS is accurate (difficult, I know): "Estimated number of cats and dogs entering shelters each year: 6-8 million." Wow, they helped 70,000 pets. That's really something to brag about for a group supposedly devoted to helping animals....
