HSUS Roiled by Pacelle Accusations, Resignations

If you’ve been reading The Outdoor Wire very long, you know I’m no fan of the so-called Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). It’s one of those false-flagged organizations that spends the majority of its millions of dollars in annual donations not on protecting and saving animals, but pushing animal rights causes and trying its best to demonize hunters, anglers, farmers and anyone else who...

In this case the...
