Wayne the Delusional, echoing the worldly insight and life experience of an eight year-old, complains that nature films are not very authentic.

HSUS stands for the “Humane” Society of the United States. It is a corporation in the United States that does not own or control any animal shelters and it does not represent humane societies in the United States, other than itself.

While HSUS began an animal welfare organization back in 1954, its current focus is toward legislation that severely impedes or eliminates domestic animals and animal ownership. HSUS disguises its political campaigns as attacks against “puppy mills,” animal cruelty, and “hoarding.”

HSUS sells vegetarian dog food as "a nutritious, environmentally friendly and ethically responsible food for our best friends."
