Steve Hindi, Pres. of Showing Animals Respect & Kindness (SHARK) , was our guest on Wild Horse & Burro Radio to talk about rodeo cruelty.
Foreground: SHARK founder Steve Hindi, investigator Stu Chaifetz, and pigeon rescued from a shoot. Background: scene of the January 4, 2018 pigeon shoot in Henderson, Maryland.
“HSUS operatives have a long history of making false claims. They often claim credit for either the accomplishments of others, or for “victories” that never occurred at all, as in the case of these pigeon shoots. Other times, HSUS misleads supporters by claiming victories that are in fact backward steps in the effort to improve the treatment of animals.”

On Monday, January 15, 2018, I sent an email to Humane Society of the United States president Wayne Pacelle demanding a copy of all HSUS documentation regarding live pigeon shoots around the country. I copied Anna West and Heidi Prescott, as both are employed by HSUS, and are mentioned in the January 15 email to Pacelle.
I demanded documentation from Pacelle because HSUS is not telling the truth about the status of pigeon shoots. In September 2017, Heidi Prescott gave assurances to Animals 24-7, via West, that pigeon shoots in Maryland had been stopped.
“On behalf of Heidi Prescott, senior vice president of campaigns at The Humane Society of the United States,” wrote West, “We have stopped [pigeon] shoots in California, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas — and most recently secured an attorney general’s opinion in Maryland that will prevent live pigeon shoots from occurring there.”
SHARK videotaped pigeons being shot
On January 15, 2018, SHARK investigator Stu Chaifetz went to a Maryland canned hunt club and filmed the aftermath of a pigeon shoot from a day earlier. Stu also recorded a club employee discussing the shoot at some length, even as the employee went about killing shoot survivors.
This is not the first time that HSUS has put out false information. In the same September statement wherein Prescott claimed HSUS stopped Maryland pigeon shoots, she makes the same claim about North Carolina. But pigeon shoots in North Carolina didn’t stop – they expanded.
Hunt club employee shooting escaped pigeons & discussing the pigeon shoot they escaped from.

Straight from the Horse's Heart 
“HSUS operatives have a long history of making false claims.”
One major questionable activity that the HSUS reports on their tax form is
CENTRAL AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN INVESTMENTS of $58,124,851.00.
“Investments” – not grants for animals welfare, but INVESTMENTS in these foreign countries. What’s up with that? Just what are these investments? Why is this money not used for the protection of animals? Isn’t that what the public believes when they donate to the HSUS?
I repeat: “HSUS operatives have a long history of making false claims.”

Shot hits SHARK drone during Senator James Inhofe pigeon shoot
SEPTEMBER 15, 2015 BY MERRITT CLIFTON
A former mayor of Tulsa and Oklahoma member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Inhofe has held a U.S. Senate seat since 1994. Chairing the Senate Committee on Environment & Public Works from 2003 through 2007, and still the senior member of the committee, Inhofe may be best known for blocking legislation meant to slow climate change, arguing that global warming is a hoax, pushing for oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and to expand offshore oil and gas drilling.
Inhofe’s most prominent campaign funders are associated with the oil and gas industries, but he has also reportedly accepted at least $51,000 in campaign financing from the National Rifle Association during his long career.
Polar bears, prairie dogs, sage grouse, wolves
Frequently Inhofe has opposed introducing or expanding protection for endangered and threatened species, including polar bears, prairie dogs, sage grouse, and wolves.
Inhofe has backed numerous Republican attempts to weaken the Endangered Species Act, and in 2008 assailed what he termed use of the Endangered Species Act on behalf of polar bears to “achieve global warming policy that special interest groups cannot otherwise achieve through the legislative process.”
In 2006 Inhofe won passage of the Animal Enterprise Protection Act, extending to animal industry workers the provisions of the 1982 Animal Enterprise Protection Act, which covered only property.
In January 2014 Inhofe tried to amend the Farm Bill to repeal a provision prohibiting the USDA from inspecting horses slaughtered for human consumption.

Congress Blocks Slaughtering Horses For Meat In U.S.
January 17, 2014
That’s the argument put forth by SEN JIM INHOFE (R-Okla.), who tried but failed to strike the ban on funding inspections from the spending bill.
“Without these facilities, aging horses are often neglected or forced to endure cruel conditions as they are transported to processing facilities across the border,” Inhofe wrote in a release. “This provision is counterproductive to what animal rights activists are hoping to achieve.”
And INHOFE is not giving up yet.
Before Thursday night’s Senate vote, Inhofe said he and Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OKla.) plan to introduce separate legislation that would lift the ban on funding for horse slaughterhouse inspections
