Why doesn't the HSUS stop running deceptive ads that make people think it funds animal shelters? I understand that you believe you're using the money to help animals in other ways, which is fine--but then why not be honest with your fundraising ads so that people who wish to be supporting animal shelters could honestly donate to hands-on animal shelter work?

As a health care worker, I act as a mandatory reporter for child abuse. I must report to authorities even suspected abuse within 24 hours. I do not understand why PETA and HSUS work so hard to defeat laws which would extend these same protections to animals. Why would your groups pay people to continue aiding and abetting animal abuse, sometimes for months? For those of us who work to end child abuse, it seems as though your willingness to hang on to this information until it's politically and financially expedient to release it is pretty repugnant. I understand your excuse that you have to keep kicking cows on film for months and months to make your case, but I find that a big load of BS--no one in their right mind would suggest that hiding knowledge of abuse for months is a better way to help abused kids than reporting immediately to authorities.
