the emails aren't being read by HSUS!
Here's proof that the HSUS isn't reading the emails we send. It's an automated response. Send them anyway, I'm sure they're aware of the numbers just not the content.
I'm not as diplomatic as some of you when dealing with unreasonable (crazy) people and I make no apologies for it.
Here's the email I sent:
I see you've set your sights on hound hunting and are trying to paint the hound owners with a broad brush by using a very small minority to make us all look like abusive hillbillies.
I'm not even going to waste my time trying to reason with you, been there done that. I know what your real agenda is here. I know how you've mastered the art of taking one video or a few pictures of abused animals and using them to raise millions of dollars to further your anti-hunting agenda.
I also know the HSUS is a "smoke and mirrors" organization that uses the name Humane Society as a way to deceive the public into giving you money that they think will be used to operate animal shelters. Nice little $10 million per year scam you have going on there.
You'll never admit that hunters are the biggest group of conservationists in the U.S. Our money, not yours pays for wildlife preservation programs and habitat. Ask yourself this, how many acres have the HSUS bought with their net worth of $200 million to set aside for wildlife preservation? ZERO. Hunters dollars... Millions of acres. But you already know that and yet you still continue because your thinking is based on emotion and not logic. You think wild animals are Disney animals and they have a retirement home somewhere they they die peacefully in their sleep when they get old. Nature is far more cruel than humans but you'll never admit that. Hunters help prevent the spread of disease through wildlife populations but you'll never admit that either, there's no money in it.
Chances are you never read this email. I seriously doubt it. If you did I challenge you to respond by saying "You're wrong Mr. Lovelace, I finished read your email."
I don't expect this email to persuade you of anything. I was raised by an animal rights activist so I'm familiar with the narrow, illogical thinking of the A.R. movement.
Stop hunting and you'll kill more animals that you can possibly imagine. The blood will be on your hands when overpopulation, disease and starvation runs rampant. But you don't care, it's all about the money.
You should focus your energy on figuring out why you don't understand the animal kingdom you think you are protecting.

Here's their response, It's the same email other UKC people have got:
Thank you for contacting me in response to a post you found on the UKC forum.
In no way did I state in the video, nor does The HSUS state anywhere on its website, that all hound hunters treat their dogs in such a matter. Instead, we make a point to say that many hound hunters do, which is true, not that they all do. It is a sad fact that many hound hunters abuse their dogs in sickening ways. Many do not feed their dogs for long periods of time because they mistakenly believe that hungry dogs will hunt better. Even hound hunters have contacted me, urging us to do something about how many hound hunters threat their dogs. They have explained in vivid detail and sent images of hunting dogs who receive little to no food or water, whose water is consistently green, and whose kennels are so entirely filled with excrement that they must stand on cinder blocks to avoid standing or lying in the filth. Other hunters have contacted us, explaining how many hound hunters fail to treat injuries to their dogs, even broken bones. Hunting dogs consistently show up at rural shelters across the country, particularly in southeastern states, emaciated and rife with ailments such as fleas, ticks, heartworm, mange and cancer. Many shelters report that 50 percent of the hunting dogs they take in are heartworm positive. This condition is easy and cheap to prevent, but can cost up to $1,200 per dog to treat, requiring the dogs to be isolated for months, and sometimes requiring surgery to remove the worms from the heart, all at taxpayers’ expense. Many shelters report that as much as 90 percent of the dogs they take in are unwanted or abandoned hunting dogs. Many hunters simply abandon their dogs or dump them at local shelters when they fail to hunt well or become too old to keep up with the chase. It is sad that many hound hunters choose to burden taxpayers in such a manner and choose to treat their dogs as nothing more than disposable hunting equipment. It is also unfortunate that many other hunters rush to the defense of these hunters and this deplorable treatment of animals.
Actually, the images of the dogs who were emaciated WERE hunting dogs. They were relinquished by their owners because they failed to hunt well and deemed severely underweight by shelter staff.
The HSUS has more than 11 million constituents. That’s more than one in every 29 Americans. The issues that The HSUS choose to work on are supported by the mainstream public. The public simply will not tolerate the abuse of animals in this manner.
Thank you for expressing your opinions. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Megan Sewell
Deputy Manager, Wildlife Abuse Campaign
The Humane Society of the United States
Remember, fight them by educating the people that give them money, Send emails with links that show their anti-hunting, anti-pet, anti-farming, anti-anything-to-do-with-animals agendas. Send the video link I posted on this thread that shows how they don't spend their money on helping animals.

is all you get. She obviously is not interested in listening to the truth about this. I would not waste anymore time sending emails, pics etc.... We should figure out a way/place to get our voice heard. Remember, them saying that a small % of houndsmen are aholes and mishandle there dogs is not whats going to fill there bank account! Thats the bottom line here. Its getting people to fall for there fake pitty parade and send $$$$ for there plush offices and lobbiest. We need to find a way to exploit them.
