I know of the good things that HSUS has done. They've been crucial to the rescue of thousands of mill dogs. They were very much involved in one of the largest puppy mill busts in the country (700+dogs and assorted other animals). The woman who had that puppy mill was last week sentenced to 10 years in prison. Deservedly so.

They were also recently involved in a large puppy mill raid in Washington State. They've been highly involved with puppy mill busts most especially in the last 2 years. Without them, those busts would not have happened. People who run the thousands of puppy mills across the United States are scourges.

PITA has its place. My most prominent memory of them is when they tried to stop the clubbing of white baby seals as I sat and cried watching it unfold on the television. Yes, they have their place.

And...bless the tireless efforts of the no-kill shelters across our country!

I'm glad too. All 6 of our (my sister and I) dogs and cats are from shelters, mostly HSUS. I was most happy to answer those pages and pages of questions, and to ask nearly as many of my own!
