Don’t be misled by propaganda commercial breeders are spreading!!!!
While it is true, the US humane society doesn’t fund local shelters, they do help them set up and give them education material. Probably the number one job they do is educate, but education does cost money, from the printing of materials to the television news spots.
The National Humane Society is more involved with law making and helping make laws that protect animals. For example, your local humane society does nothing to help protect dogs from dog fighting; the US humane society does this. Commercial breeders of all animals, not just dogs, get together and help pass laws that benefit them; we need a national group that looks out for animals. Who else would do this important job? Not only that, but they provide animal rescue on large scale operations, such as hurricanes and closing of puppy mills. They investigate animal cruelty; operate wildlife rehabilitation centers and emergency clinics. Look here to see some of the work they do:

Another thing, the American Institute of Philanthropy mentioned in the video, is itself very controversial.
“The major criticism from low rated charities is the claim that AIP’s rating system does not follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) or rules for reporting financial information on the IRS tax Form 990. These groups posit that if AIP took the figures as reported in these financial documents, their ratings would be outstanding”

People need to be aware that commercial enterprises definitely would love to close down the Human Society of the Unities States. This charity guide gives the HSUS a very high rating.
