We obtained the latest tax return for the Humane Society of the United States, a national organization that raises money to save homeless animals. The tax return, covering 2022, shows HSUS wasting millions. Despite its name, HSUS is not affiliated with local humane societies. And it generally only gives about 1% of its money as financial grants to pet shelters–which once again appears to be the case in 2022, based on reported grants. Here are more highlights from the 2022 tax year: CEO Kitty...
To whom much is given, much is expected. And collectively, the ASPCA and Humane Society of the United States raise over $400 million a year in the name of helping animals. Using the latest tax filings and other sources, here's how each group spends donations. ASPCA Tax records show the ASPCA spends about half (48 percent) of its budget on overhead.

This is a good time to note that HSUS is not affiliated with local humane societies that run pet shelters–although HSUS certainly benefits...
November was a tough time for Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) founder Wayne Hsiung. At the start of the month, the animal liberation extremist lost his bid for Mayor of Berkeley, California by about 40%. If you're too loony for Berkeley, that's saying something. Then, at the end of the month, he and his organization lost a civil suit and countersuit. In January 2017, DxE filed a lawsuit accusing Diestel Turkey Ranch, a family-owned farm that supplies Whole Foods, of violating California's false a...
