Help Us Run Ads to Stop HSUS!

Stop-BSL.com has long been researching and trying to get ads run which will help inform the general public not only about BSL in general but about which groups they shouldn't give their support to, like the HSUS. We have run ads in the NW Pet Gazette and the Southern Fighter News (MMA) using your donations.

Now, however, we are focusing on raising money for a radio ad campaign. Radio campaigns reach a relatively large number of people and are pretty cheap compared to print ads. Also, the station will produce the ads for free, helping keep costs down.

The HSUS has long been running ads using sad looking pit bulls to raise money which they in turn use to wipe out our breed little by little. It is time to use this tactic against them. They run radio ads telling about the mythical $5000.00 reward for dog fighting info making responsible owners the target of greedy neighbors. They also run news paper ads telling about their "accomplishments," like the recent ad touting their so called succcess in Arizona.

We can make a difference in this way! So many people beleive everything they hear on tv and the radio, it's time we start being what they hear. Owners, Breeders and Dogs Against Breed Discrimination has a page set up where you can donate, copy our donation meter for your website and track our progress.

Thanks for cross-posting that, Marty

Sucks about all the APBT sites that are getting booted by their host servers More good work no doubt helped by HSUS and others.

Is this why the HS over here doesn't label dogs as pits? They always label them staffies...is it some sort of anti-pit thing?

The humane societies that act as shelters are not affiliated with the HSUS.

Many places will label pit bulls as "staffies" because "staffy" sounds less scary and they think it will help them get adopted. Probably doesn't help the breed though if adopters aren't aware of what they are getting.

Yup, Corgi - several sites have been booted lately, just disappeared. There is a lot more organized effort to kill the APBT disguised as anti-dog fighting than you'd ever want to believe.

Oh, I believe it, I just am not aware of all of it. This is the first I'm hearing about websites getting shut down. Got any specifics?

The scam behind the HSUS “rewardâ€

The HSUS has a long standing offer of $5,000 for information relating to an arrest and conviction in animal fighting cases. However, back in 2004 when I approached the Midwest regional director about this offer what I found out was rather interesting.

First of all, I was concerned about the requirement that the information must lead to a conviction. Having dealt with the issues of dogfighting and animal abuse for number of years I knew that convictions were hard to get (I’ll leave the details for another post). So as a humane organization who’s main concern should be ending the suffering of animals, or so I thought, I suggested HSUS pay out the reward based on information that leads to an arrest and the seizure of animals.

The first excuse I got was that the HSUS wanted to conviction to ensure that dogfighters wouldn’t start turning each other in simply for the reward. In the eyes of the HSUS that is a bad thing?

I again pointed out that my idea would be tied into the fact that animals must be seized and therefore ending their suffering, which is what HSUS should be most concerned about. I was then told that the $5,000 is really intended to be paid to informants that provide information that leads to a large scale bust, like raiding a dogfight in progress where maybe 20 or 30 people are arrested.

Unfortunately that is not what the offer says. (side note, the Animal Abuse Control Team mentioned in the offer is the team on which I used to be a member) The end result, of course, is that the HSUS was not willing to change it’s policy in regard to the reward.

So what I at least tried to do was get a full understanding of how the reward system worked, so that if I came into contact with an individual who may have value information for me I could in good faith offer them a reward. It was at this point that the whole picture became clear.

I was informed that the HSUS doesn’t actually have payouts of this reward in it’s budget, each case would have to be considered on an individual basis to determine if the source of information was deserving. To make a long story short, the HSUS made it nearly impossible for anyone to qualify for the reward and furthermore the HSUS has no real incentive to qualify anyone for the reward because then they would have to scramble for the money.

This is yet another example of the HSUS smoke and mirror tricks when if comes to their campaign to end dogfighting. Just like it’s another way for HSUS to deceive the public into thinking that something is being done and generate additional revenue in the form of donations.

Marty and Miakoda can fill you in on more specifics more accurately than I can. I've been watching and am just now learning WHERE to watch. It's getting ugly out there.

Please cross post the following EVERYWHERE:

If you are a dog owner, fisherman, farmer, hunter or any other variety of American citizen who believes in your rights to Own animals, eat animals and raise animals the time has come for you to stand and be counted.

The Humane Society of the United States has begun working towards the same goals as PETA. This means, unless we stop them now, total Animal Liberation. In case you didn't know "animal liberation" means the complete extinction of domesticated and farm animals, outlawing hunting fishing and all other "animal use."

An organization called Owners, Breeders and Dogs Against Breed Discrimination is currently taking donations to help fund the "Expose the HSUS campaign." This group, a small anti-BSL group, has been watching how the HSUS and PETA's support of anti-dog laws has grown into an all out assault on dog owners, breeders and buyers. They are using false accusations of dog fighting to kill innocent dogs and shut down long time hobby breeders in the "pit bull breed" and allegations of abuse to shut down minature dog breeders as well.

Owners, Breeders and Dogs Against Breed Discrimination has decided to fund a radio ad campaign in order to counter self serving ads the HSUS has recently placed in areas like Tucson, Arizona. This campaign will run in targeted areas alongside an informative website section and Utube video. The radio campaign would grab the attention of listeners guiding them to the campaign's website. Once they are on the website they will see a Utube video which highlights all the nasty tidbits the HSUS doesn't mention when panhandling for their cash.

The website will have detailed information about the HSUS goal of eliminating animal husbandry of all kinds in America. It will outline many of the underhanded tactics they have used in recent months to "capture" dog breeders, kill innocent dogs and then wash their hands of the whole ordeal.

This campaign can reach thousands of American citizens and educate them on what the HSUS is really doing. We can stop this before it goes much further! But, we need your help. Blogging on the internet and running informative websites is not enough anymore. The HSUS is a multi-million dollar corporation which can and does run TV and radio ads regularly. They get free advertisement from news stations who know nothing about their real agenda and millions of pet loving Americans donate to them every year without knowing what the money is really for.

Please donate what you can to help us reach our $1000.00 goal and start the campaign! If you cannot donate, or even if you do donate, please cross post this on every message board, discussion group and myspace page you can find where people who value their Constituitional Rights still can be found.
