Either these folks are born liars or they don't believe their cheaf executive officer's mandate according to Wayne Pacelle is to end all domestication of animals in one generation.


Billings Gazette (MT)
Jobs shift at Humane Society of the United States

The Humane Society of the United States has changed its structure, but
not its focus.

Dave Pauli, formerly the Northern Rockies regional director for the
HSUS, took on a new title on June 4: senior director of wildlife
response for the society’s Animal Care Centers, which mostly care for
horses and wildlife.

Meanwhile, Wendy Hergenraeder, a native of Billings, was named the
first Montana state director for the HSUS last fall.

When Pauli joined the HSUS 19 years ago, there were 10 regions. They
were slowly consolidated into fewer regions over the years and now
there are just two, east and west. Pauli said he was offered the
Western regional directorship, but instead he worked with the society
to create his new position.

He’ll still follow the society’s very short mission statement —
“Celebrating animals, confronting cruelty” — but he will be working
directly with its five Animal Care Centers throughout the country. One
of them, in Florida, cares for 14,000 animals a year.

Pauli said he will also help Hergenraeder lobby the Montana
Legislature, at least during the 2011 session. Their main goal will be
to promote the passage of what Pauli called a “common-sense
dangerous-dog bill” that doesn’t target any particular breed and to
combat puppy mills and hoarding.

In addition to her lobbying work, Hergenraeder said, she will be
working with local officials on animal cases, wildlife issues and
disaster response. She will also promote the HSUS’ “cage-free”
campaign, aimed mostly at freeing commercial chickens, but also hogs,
veal calves and other farm animals, from “intense confinement.”

Despite how the society is portrayed by some critics, Hergenraeder
said, the HSUS is not opposed to farming or to people owning or using
animals.

“A misconception is that we’re against animal ownership,” she said. “I
grew up in Montana, and I grew up riding horses with my dad.”

Hergenraeder volunteered with the HSUS for five years while working as
an accountant. She was also a certified veterinary technician,
basically an animal nurse, so she jumped at the chance to work for the
society full time when the state directorship was created.

Pauli said there are now state directors in 38 states and counting. As
part of the reorganization, he and Hergenraeder will both work out of
their homes. Sylvia Lee, formerly the director of operations for the
Northern region, will also work out of her home and will assist Pauli
and Hergenraeder in their new roles.

As HSUS wildlife response director, Pauli will be doing a lot of work
involving wild and abandoned horses. And, as surprising as it may
sound, Pauli said he will probably devote about 10 percent of his time
to cases involving feral hogs, which are now in 40 states. (Montana is
still free of them.)

He will also continue working with animals of a humbler nature. He
returned last week from a project in Wyoming that entailed relocating
370 prairie dogs from a buffer area to the interior of a national
grasslands area, which is part of a larger project to eventually
reintroduce black-footed ferrets to the grasslands.

One of Pauli’s highest-profile projects occurred in 2002, when he
helped retrieve a mixed-breed terrier stranded on a disabled Taiwanese
tanker adrift in the South Pacific.

Pauli said the Humane Society was criticized for grandstanding in that
case, for wasting time and money on a single animal. He’s used to the
criticism. Some people think it’s a scandal to spend money on any
animals at all, given the needs of so many human beings.

But that is the mission of the Humane Society, Pauli said, and it is
entirely funded by donations. As for whether the society should ever
concern itself with individual animals or confine itself to cases
involving large numbers of them, Pauli said, “The answer is both. You
do what you can when a situation is presented.”

The HSUS took on even more individual cases during his early years
with the society, Pauli said, but, even though the final decision
might be harder to make now, no cases are discounted out of hand.

“There is no species or situation we will not consider,” he said.[color:#3333FF][/color]

Sounds like they are trying some damage control. Their donations are drying up some along with others.
