(NOTE: "Not your local humane society. A 50-state report on the
Humane Society of the United States and its lack of support for
America's underfunded pet shelters" was published this June by the
Center for Consumer Freedom. Download your copy from HumaneWatch.org.)

From HumaneWatch.org:

"NOT YOUR LOCAL HUMANE SOCIETY": A 50-STATE REPORT

Today we're releasing a report showing just how much (or, if you
prefer, how little) of the millions of dollars poured into the Humane
Society of the United States each year reaches local pet shelters in
all 50 states.

It's called "Not Your Local Humane Society," and it includes some
eye-opening statistics about how HSUS fails to put pet-sheltering
dollars to work in the local communities where the money originates.

Here's just a sample:

* Between 2006 and 2008, HSUS donated zero dollars to hands-on pet
shelters in five states (Maine, Nebraska, Nevada, South Dakota, and
Wyoming).
* In 2008 HSUS made donations to pet shelter organizations in only 15
states-down from 34 states in 2007-even though its overall budget
increased by more than $8 million.
* HSUS routinely spends far more on state-level political fights than
on pet shelters in those same states. In Arizona, for instance, HSUS
spent $300 passing a "humane farms" ballot initiative for every $1 it
donated to pet shelters in that state. Similarly lopsided numbers can
be found in Michigan, Massachusetts, Colorado, and California-and the
smart money is on HSUS repeating the phenomenon in Ohio this year.

Download "Not Your Local Humane Society" and see how HSUS performed
in your state. The report includes a complete accounting of every
pet-shelter grant the organization made from 2006 to 2008. We'll be
updating it later this year when HSUS files its 2009 income tax
return.
