Rush Limbaugh is supportive of HSUS (the Humane Society of the United States), which is neither a humane society, nor representative of the entire U.S. HSUS is a political lobbying organization that masquerades as an animal welfare organization, although the laws that they write favor animal rights, which is a movement to ban all animal ownership and use.

HSUS and PETA* masquerade as organizations concerned with the welfare of animals, but in fact their agendas are to eliminate all relationships between humans and animals. They use the terms "animal rights," “animal protection,” and "animal welfare" interchangeably to promote their radical objectives.
