Alan,

Just to clarify. Ringling Bros. Circus was first sued by HSUS in a suit which ended up going nowhere, because it was proven that the star witness for the HSUS was paid off (illegally) for false testimony.

The reason I posted this to begin with is because I personally have been affected by the "sensational" B.S. the HSUS puts out in its news releases and its campaign for donations. I personally know of the untruths used to get congress to pass the laws that humaniacs write. I personally know of people who have been run out of business by HSUS lawsuits, lawsuits that had no legal basis, only accusations of law breaking, but no proof. I personally know of people that died of heart attacks due to stress placed on them from losing their businesses that they worked for years building, because of HSUS actions. Businesses that did no harm to any US citizen, and there was no reason to stop the operations other than it was what humaniacs wanted. I personally have seen and have had my own constitutional rights ripped out by the roots by humaniac groups including and mostly by the HSUS. My own business and life has been dramatically changed due to unconstitutional laws passed due to the efforts and lobbying (illegal) by the HSUS.

This was posted because it IS personal to me, just as much so as someone's child being born or other personal things posted on this site.

Thanks for not removing the post....and yes you are right we do all need to look past the sensational headlines and look for the truth....I know the truth in this case and I know how the HSUS is (it may have been a fine group when it started, but not anymore), if anyone else wants to research it, by all means do so. I'll stand by my opinion of the HSUS....they are PETA in a 3 piece suit, crazy wacked out humaniacs that don't want anyone to own an animal, which includes the people who own pets and send in donations, while they think the group is going to help some abused kittens and puppies. Humaniacs will kill your animals to keep you from owning them ( I have personal knowledge of this many many times over ), saving animals by killing them is a little bit irrational if you ask me, but that's just me I suppose.

Freedom is at stake....once one group can illegally take your constitutional rights away by congressional approval of their efforts, any other group can also....they all need to be stopped.

Thanks again Alan for doing your best to be fair about the post, you're alright whether you agree with me or not.
