Seven False Premises of Mandatory S/N
The REAL Facts Re: HSUS
Contrary to what most people think, the real facts about HSUS is far
different than what is displayed in countless TV ads and pamphlets and
flyers that are distributed on a national basis. We at CFODC have been
involved in trying to stem the tide of HSUS funded attempts to completely do
away with any contact whatsoever between humans and animals for whatever
purpose. See http://humanewatch.org/images/uploads/2010-06_NOT_YOUR_LOCAL_HUMANE_SOCIETY.pdf
I urge you to read this article thoroughly and support whatever organization
that is involved in trying to maintain the human/animal interaction and
bond. Our heartfelt thanks to Humane Watch for keeping us all informed
about HSUS and its goals.
