Carroll's guests are Ronnie Graves and Allan Schwartz, former members of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) Emergency Rescue Team. After the problems we exposed with the Pang Animal Haven "rescue", we found many others have also raised concerns regarding HSUS' unprofessional conduct and "unethical" and inaccurate publicity. Most of the emergency team have resigned due to these issues

Today's radio broadcast was excellent. I would think that another show would bring out more information about the HSUS and their underhanded methods of fund raising. Scotlund Haisley's unauthorized use of a badge to give false representation as being "law enforcement" should be stopped. Maybe a federal court order would do it. Keep up the good work! Reply to this

Very interesting and, if true, these allegations should be fully investigated by the government. If they are impersonating law enforcement officers, falsifying information and evidence, putting their own people at risk having an unqualified person in charge, and all of these other allegations that were made on the show, the IRS, the FBI, and (if they have the power) FEMA or HLSEM should all take a long look at this. Local law enforcement should be advised about these deceptive practices. I have seen Mr. Haisley's Facebook page too, and I cannot believe that real law enforcement and prosecutors are allowing him to post some of these photos and articles on cased that are subject to prosecution.

I agree with James completely. I work in state emergency management and some of the stories I have heard from other jurisdictions regarding several of the national animal groups, especially HSUS, astound me. Someone with some control over non-profit groups needs to take a long, hard look at the practices and procedures that some of these organizations are utilizing, especially HSUS. As for the playing at being cops, that is something Department of Justice needs to look at since it seems these people do it all over the country. Reply to this

These practices are illegal and should be stopped if this in fact the truth. If they were doing the right thing, then they wouldnt need the badges an would not have to pretend that they have authority that they don't have. the name Humane Society of the United States is somewhat misleading anyway, people can think that they are a government agency and the badges just confirm that they have authorizty when they don't. How sad that such a huge orgnaization with so much money has to play cops, when in fact they aren't. Reply to this

It is absolutely true that HSUS goes in without authority but wants everyone to think they have it. What is also true is that most local law enforcement knows all about it and welcomes them. HSUS is doing things - taking animals - that most law enforcement agencies are not capable of or willing to do so they are glad to have someone do these seizures for them. Everybody gets to share the press and kudos for the raids. HSUS is well aware of the line they walk as they try to get themselves under the umbrella of the State Attorney General, if at all possible, so they will have standing and protection from lawsuits. Just to be clear - law enforcement is frequently in cahoots with HSUS. (As an aside HSUS has retired FBI special agents on their payroll.) In Virginia HSUS has infiltrated the State Vets office, many county animal control offices, commonwealth attorneys, and the Attorney General's office. They have similar influence in other states. So... law enforcement is probably not interested in prosecuting HSUS. Reply to this

HSUS should be paying taxes. Go to SAOVA.ORG for more information.What is SAOVA? The Sportsmen's and Animal Owners' Voting Alliance (SAOVA) is a nationwide, nonpartisan group of volunteers seeking to elect politicians who will oppose the "Animal Rightist" (AR) threat to our rights as Americans. It is the only national group working to protect both sportsmen and animal owners, natural allies, in the legislative and political arenas. SAOVA's members hunt, fish and own livestock, dogs, cats and other pets. We study political candidates in all states to identify those who understand and resist the AR threat, as well as those who are in the pocket of the Animal Rightists.
Since 2002, SAOVA's volunteers have interviewed politicians running for election to the U.S. Congress for the first time. Each election cycle, we also review the voting records of incumbents standing for reelection. The goal of these activities is to determine candidates' positions on the animal rightists' threats to our sport, avocations and farming livelihoods. Learn More! Reply to this
