November 16, 2009 HSUS CEO, Wayne Pacelle, made the suggestion: ...every "responsible breeder" is a "puppy miller", every "family farmer" is a "factory farmer" and every "responsible hunter" is a "poacher". This is what HSUS really thinks about anyone involved with animals! Don't donate and don't believe them when HSUS says they protect animals.
Appeasement of the animal rightists will not work. NOTHING will ever be 'good enough' and the more we 'come to the middle' the more the middle shifts in their direction.
First they came for the puppy mills, and I did not speak out -
because I was a commercial breeder. Then they came for the commercial breeders, and I did not speak out - because I was a hobby breeder. Then they came for the hobby breeders, and I did not speak out - because I was a pet owner. Then they came for the pet owners - and there was no one left to speak out for me.
Wayne Pacelle directs HSUS now and he supports the notion that all domestic
animals should be extinct. He has said, "We have no ethical obligation to
preserve the different breeds of livestock produced through selective
breeding ...One generation and out. We have no problems with the extinction
of domestic animals. They are creations of human selective breeding."

Ingrid Newkirk of PeTA supports the notion that all domestic animals should be free and people should not own them.

"Of all tyrannies,
a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C.S. Lewis
"The righteous man hath regard for the life of his beast;
But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel". Proverbs, 12:10
Lord Emmerich Edward Dalberg Acton,
a celebrated late 19th- century British historian, who held the Regius Chair of Modern History at Cambridge University was the one who wrote: "Power tends to corrupt. Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Thomas Paine December 23, 1776 THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of thanks of man and woman.
The destruction in Haiti is so awful, so massive it goes beyond belief. Then, to my total disgust, came a call from Pacelle and the Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) for DONATIONS for when they might possibly get there in the future "for the animals" <gagging>. THIS is after their theft of donations during Katrina. THIS is after they begged for donations for the care of Vick's dogs which they never had and then said to kill the dogs. THIS is after they told Animal Control, after a dog fighting bust, to KILL all the dogs including 5 week old puppies. THIS is after they prostituted Vick for more donations. Not only is the timing beyond belief, what kind of fools do they think.... well, forget that. They'll get donations. UGH! I thought I had become inured to the chutzpah, pure effrontery of Pacelle and the HSUS, but this is beyond the pale. Please everybody, do NOT donate to that sickening group. Do not give Pacelle more to give to your local legislators. I gave to responsible people who are helping the humans in Haiti, to those who are digging out the injured, feeding the hungry. Pacelle and HSUS make me totally sick to my stomach. A Friend
