Review for The Humane Society of the United States, Washington, DC, USA
There is an organized attack on the hsus precisely BECAUSE they are effective and threaten those who put profit before the best interests of animals. Like one of the recent posters, I eat meat. I also have purebred dogs, wear leather shoes and yet I dont' feel at all that hsus is trying to take away my rights to do any of those things. why doesn't hsus fund local shelters? It's not their job any more than it's a local shelter's job to send someone to Canada to take pictures of sealers clubbing baby seals. I've worked at a shelter and I've come to know people at hsus (unlike probably any of the people posting negative reviews). hsus should keep strong in the face of this c$#@ and continue their work for animals.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the help they gave me and our shelter, their responsiveness every time I've had a question, observing the results of their work.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I think they should defend themselves more strongly against all the misinformation being spread about them. they may want to rise above it and i can respect that. but a lot of people are being misled by their detractors.
