Now there are reports that one of the most vocal animal welfare groups, the Humane Society of the U.S., actually gives less than 1 percent of the money it takes in to animal shelters, which is where most donors likely think their money is going. Money going to the executive pension fund is 3 times that.

Looks like both animal farmers and the Humane Society of the U.S. need to clean up some of their practices.
