Furthermore, HSUS isn't the organization most uninformed people think of when they think of a national Humane Society organization -- like local groups I know of here in georgia, they simply appropriated the phrase "humane society" for use in their name.

Do NOT tar all Humane Societies with the same brush as the national organization. My local Humane Society runs the local shelter, but looking at its funding I find no money from the national organization, though they are affiliated. They also took in animals from Katrina, despite being about as far as you can get from the impacted area. My local society managed to get the obvious URL http://www.thehumanesociety.org/ They recently had to put down 29 pit bulls that were bred for fighting. It is sad that folks do such things.
