Rolling Tape as HSUS Dissembles

Last week Jordan Matyas, the Illinois State Director of the Humane Society of the United States, wrote an amusing letter to the editor of the Bloomington, IL Pantagraph. He was responding to what must be a heck of a clamor among rank-and-file HSUS donors about the lack of a connection between the organization and the thousands of similarly named pet shelters.

Here's the part of Matyas's letter that caught my attention:

If people think the American Farm Bureau Federation runs all farms or the National Rifle Association runs all gun clubs or the Fraternal Order of Police runs all police stations, then these folks need to do their homework.

​

HSUS CEO Wayne Pacelle brought up the same argument yesterday in Ohio during an interview with Buckeye Ag Radio News. Here's Wayne:



OK. Pacelle and Matyas have said their piece. Now let's unravel their "spin."

First, that pet shelter "expo" that HSUS hosted a few weeks ago? Not exactly doing it out of the goodness of their heart. Tickets were $250. (It's hard to argue that you're helping pet shelters when you're sitting on $192 million and your hand's still out.)
