This April Fools’, CCF Is the Joke
Imagine that I, while serving as president and CEO of The HSUS, owned a for-profit public relations company and that 92 cents of every dollar donated to The HSUS went to that very company or to me. I was paid by The HSUS, and then . . .
Follow the Money
Please ask, who paid for that attack ad against The HSUS in today’s New York Times? What is the so-called “Center for Consumer Freedom” and what corporations fund this shadowy organization?
Talk Back: CCF, Farm Animal Welfare
Many thanks to readers for the expressions of support and outpouring of donations to The HSUS in response to my blog exposing the misnamed “Center for Consumer Freedom.” Meanwhile, you expressed enthusiasm for the launch of the ballot initiative in Ohio and outrage about the treatment of dairy cows after watching an exposé on ABC News’ Nightline.

One Lone Voice Against Animal Welfare
I’ve been encouraged, even heartened, by the swift and broad reaction to The HSUS’s recent undercover investigations of wanton animal abuse. That is, with one inexcusable exception.
The HSUS Strategy for Success
