Review for The Humane Society of the United States, Washington, DC, USA
The HSUS mislead donors into thinking that they are donating directly to local animal shelters, when the HSUS has no affiliation with or control over local humane societies.
The HSUS ran a misleading fundraising pitch in relation to the Michael Vick dog fighting case. Fundraising material on HSUS's website one day after Vick's indictment stated that donations will be used to "help the Humane Society of the United States care for the dogs seized in the Michael Vick case..." and that donations would be "put to use right away to care for these dogs...". It was later revealed that the dogs were not in HSUS's care and that HSUS recommendation was for the dogs to be euthanized.

They recommended euthanzation of dogs they requested money to care for.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Really use the money for local shelters and animals and not pursuing political agendas.
