I investigated some of the things you suggested. The link you provided about HSUS financing, unfortunately, is the website of a known advocacy group for such organizations as poultry producers, with obvious anti-animal-welfare agendas. So, I think the validity of that perspective is as biased as something you'd find on a pro-animal site.

Do a little unbiased research and you soon will realize that hunters, a small minority, contributes over 90% of the money needed for wildlife and habitat conservation.

Traditionally (I admit) I have supported many of the things they've helped to do to address egregious, systematic abuse like dog fighting.

Despite the word “humane” in its name the HSUS does not run animal shelters, spay/neuter programs or care for stray, neglected or abuse animals. It’s strictly a political lobbing orgaization diverting much needed cash from the real animal Humane Agencies. HSUS is big, rich, and Othmar Vohringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878585333406793550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21678075.post-82680948430528004382009-01-18T02:47:00.000-08:002009-01-18T02:47:00.000-08:00Hello, Othmar.

But I think PETA's means can be alienating, as your post proves. At the same time, I see what I would call "radical" stances from representatives of hunting, too.
