Can anyone imagine the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence embracing wife killer O.J. Simpson to help him regain his image? Can anyone imagine the National Organization to Prevent Sexual Abuse of Children embracing pedophile John Geoghan to help him regain his image? Can anyone imagine the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network embracing rapist Josef Fritzl to help him regain his image? It is unthinkable. And yet we in the animal movement, under Pacelle’s direction, are threatening to do this very thing, to having our movement embrace our version of Simpson, Geoghan, and Fritzl as a spokesman. It is beyond obscene. It is unthinkable.
Yep.
Pacelle tried to couch the partnership in terms favorable to HSUS, regardless of the outcome:
If he makes the most of it, and demonstrates a sincere, long-term commitment to the task, then it may prove to be a tipping point in our campaign to eradicate dogfighting. If he demonstrates a fleeting or superficial interest, then it will be his own failing, not ours.
But you can't have it both ways. You don't get to declare "We win" or "He loses". The fact is that the HSUS has not demonstrated a "sincere, long term commitment to the task" of saving bust dogs. If and when they do that, maybe some of us will be interested in participating in their efforts. For now, teaming up one dog killer with another just makes my filing easier.

"tipping point" ???
WHAT f'ng tipping point?
A tipping point would be HSUS actually you know, helping some actual, you know, dogbust dogs.
What an ineffable creep.
I notice that Winograd didn't stop at blasting HSUS, either. Why indeed are some groups still making nicey nicey to this sociopath-enabler?
He said it better than I ever could. I wish I hadn't read it so close to bedtime because I'm all pissed off now. I'd better eat some chocolate and hug my dogs.
