[edit] Reverts from links between HSUS and Animal Rights

7george7, you have deleted referenced verifiable material pertinent to the HSUS from their Wikipedia page without explanation. Please explain why you did this. The HSUS is a very prominent "animal rights" organization, and their own mission statement easily confirms this. Wikipedia is not a place for advertising for the HSUS, it is for sourced, verifiable, information about the HSUS. --Animalresearcher 22:04, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Dear HSUS: Writing glowing self congratulatory essays taken directly from your promotional materials does not constitute a balanced wikipedia article. BTW, having the link to your web site at the end allows readers to view your side of the story without pasting your corporate report into the wiki. Get a clue!

The gushing one-sided praise of HSUS is nauseating. And I'm a vegetarian too... This article could use a bit more neutral tone. By the way, another criticism sometimes used against HSUS is that they're basically against all hunting, even in cases where it makes sense for herd management due to a lack of natural predators or where taxes on ammunition and hunting license fees help to fund conservation efforts. I'd like to see that discussed somewhere. Bouncey 03:45, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Somebody put somthing in here about how they trolled for donations on the premise that they actually were taking care of the dogs found at Mike Vick's property in Surry Va when in fact they do not run a single animal care shelter and do not have the dogs.

HSUS' self laudatory description is inaccurate. The are an ANIMAL RIGHTS organization and do not own or operate any animal shelters, despite their propaganda to the contrary. They are a 501(c) corporation with an annual budget of approximately $100 million, whose main functional is fund raising and lobbying for ANIMAL RIGHTS legislation. Their president, Wayne Pacelle, has said that they are going to create "the NRA of Animal Rights". Not ANIMAL WELFARE. Mike Spies (talk) 23:47, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction

The Human Society of the United States is listed under List of animal welfare groups, however, it says here that they are pro animal rights. Are they pro animal rights or animal welfare? Ziiv (talk) 05:57, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
