Killing defenceless animals just to safe money or why are they doing it. How is it posible that people take them seriously ??Elli D.http://ellidavis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321070.post-71141876578115037782011-03-17T11:27:19.823-06:002011-03-17T11:27:19.823-06:00Yes, but I could not recommend the Humane Society ...Yes, but I could not recommend the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). They are almost purely a lobbying group.<br /><br />Your local humane society is separate from HSUS and probably worth supporting.<br /><br />HSUS, however, would prefer that you remain confused about the difference between local groups and them.Chas S.

For PETA, the death of an animal is ethically less objectionable than an "imperfect" life -- for example, life as a feral (community) cat. One of our feral cat volunteers was so influenced by this ethos that she began removing neutered, vaccinated cats from campus feral colonies and taking them to shelters to be euthanazed!<br />Folks, if you want to get serious about animal welfare, please consider other organizations such as HSUS, ASPCA, and Best Friends Animal Society.S.
