Many people confuse the local Humane Societies and the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). This confusion is understandable since the HSUS want people to think (all for greater financial support) they are the humane societies that help cats and dogs. I for one, am an animal-lover and most all the cats and dogs I own and that live on my farm are all rescued. I do not agree with any of the HSUS's views and thoughts. Their activities and ideologies I believe are the polar opposite of caring animal lovers.
Carrie Underwood’s choice to make such a large contribution to the HSUS makes me wonder if she is giving up her small town farm roots or else foolish enough to agree to something that she did not take any time to look into the organization; regardless, I am very disappointed in Carrie Underwood. I would rather see Carrie and all others give to local shelters and humane societies, not the HSUS. The HSUS is a multi-million dollar organization that has contributed pennies to animals in need, but rather they spend majority of their money on trying to stop farming and promoting vegetarianism and veganism. Thier efforts harm more animals than it does help.
