Humane Society Of The United States Has A History Of Deceptive Pitches...
Washington, DC - The Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) is calling on the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) to return all the funds it has raised under the pretense of "saving" animals in the wake of Haiti's devastating earthquake. A disaster relief expert working with Humane Society International (HSUS's global arm) reports that there are no animal issues resulting from the earthquake and that no actions can be taken to help animals there. This follows a thorough assessment of the situation in Haiti.
HSUS continues to raise funds for "emergency" donations, claiming Tuesday that "Humane Society International's team on the ground in Haiti continues its work of helping animals in distress."
David Martosko, Director of Research at the Center for Consumer Freedom released the following statement on HSUS's deceptive fundraising:
Raising money to help nonexistent animals is the lowest kind of fundraising scam. Sadly, it's just the latest in a string of phony HSUS fundraising schemes.
In 2007 HSUS raised money with the false promise that it would be used to "care for the dogs seized in the Michael Vick case." The New York Times later reported that HSUS was not caring for the animals at all, and HSUS president Wayne Pacelle said his group is recommending that government officials "put down" (kill) all the dogs, many of which were later saved by other organizations.
HSUS also raised a reported $34 million in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, funds that were supposed to help reunite lost pets with their owners. But an investigation by WSB-TV in Atlanta found that less than $7 million of this money could be publicly accounted for.
In the name of transparency, HSUS should cease its Haiti fundraising immediately, or redirect 100 percent of the proceeds to the American Red Cross.
The Center for Consumer Freedom is a nonprofit coalition supported by restaurants, food companies, and consumers, working together to promote personal responsibility and protect consumer choices.

Miniature Australian Shepherds,Toy Australian Shepherds, Micro Australian Shepherds ... are down sized Australian Shepherds. They have retained the working instinct as well as the willing companion attitude that has made them so popular in the full size. We find them a better size to have in the house, the truck and everywhere else. Mini Aussies ... is a common term for the Miniature Australian Shepherds.
Here are 2 video's of KODA and Lily playing Frisbee. I use a cloth Frisbee, and both dogs are self taught. KODA catches the Frisbee and I think Lily watched him and picked up the trick. What Lily does afterwards is all self taught! She brings the Frisbee back to me, and actully places it in my hand waiting for the next throw! ENJOY

About Herding Breeds in General: Livestock and herding dogs embody, pride, bravery, and loyalty. The desire to keep their "flock" together, be it children, the cats, or sheep, can be frustrating to an owner. Their drive to work is bred into them and they need to have a job, be it agility, fetch, hiking or herding. Like many dogs, herding breeds can be destructive when bored.
