HSUS Misuse of Katrina Funds

>Allegations have been made that purebred rescue groups were turned away

>centers, unless they were willing to take "X" number of "others" as
>well. Additional reports indicate that at least 700 "bully" breed dogs
>mysteriously disappeared from the HSUS rescue centers, never to be seen
>again. It has also been widely reported that some pets were sent to

This group just amazes me. 700 "bully" breed dogs
mysteriously disappeared from the HSUS rescue centers, never to be seen again.

They are all worried about people letting their dogs chase jack rabbits out here because it's inhumane. These rabbits have to be removed anyway because of overpopulation out here. Meanwhile back in that area they are killing the bullys as fast as they can get their hands on them. I guess that's their idea of humane. These people are as wacked as any PETA members ever were.

BD knows damn well why 700 bulldogs got the ax in LA.
Peta/ALF has already infultrated the ranks of the HSUS - ASPCA.

they are all corrupt.

A controversial ordinance restricting the ownership of pit bulls makes it way to Springfield's City Council tonight.
The ordinance, if passed, would generally prohibit pit bulls within city limits unless a specific set of requirements are met.
