This video recounts the achievements of the Humane Society of the United States in 2008. I lost a lot of faith in HSUS this year and stopped my $5 montly donation (yeah, I know, I'm sure that didn't shut them down) after one of their regional coordinators was quoted as saying that he didn't have a problem with the euthanasia of stray and feral cats. This was in response to a small Iowa town that was considering putting a bounty on feral cats in order to bring down their numbers. I'll admit, the HSUS does a lot of good stuff, like their undercover video that exposed the American public to the abuse of "downer cattle" at a slaughterhouse.
As with most things in life, one has to take the good with the bad. HSUS' support of killing feral cats has cost them my paultry montly donation, yet I applaud their efforts on other fronts.
