The Humane Society of the U.S (HSUS) is a very wealthy animal lobbying group operating under the guise of helping homelessanimals. However, awareness of its possibly illegal lobbying activities was raised in a complaint formally submitted to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. Questions remain as to why the formal, 18-page complaint, with 153 pages of supporting documents that was received by a DOJ Attorney on August 4, 2011, and which alleges that the HSUS has failed to comply with the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995, has largely been ignored.
We respectfully request that the Obama administration direct the IRS to thoroughly investigate the possible non-compliance of this organization with the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995.
