regular or routine dog walking is a SERVICE.. not just “for fun”..for fun is when I walk my neighbors dog a few times a year.. a service is when I walk the dog almost everyday or board the dog at my home and get something in return.. anyone else think she “gets something in return”??.. Gov Brown.. HIRE A DOG WALKER and avoid all of the controversy.. where is the problem with that.. you as an elected official should not be cosying up to ANY lobbyist and should be proud to pay a dog walker out of your salary and keep CA working..“Fearing scored a perfect 6-for-6 record this legislative season in getting bills signed by Brown, – .this alone should tell the public something about your relationship with Fearing and the HSUS ( who donate regularly to your causes and your supporters and were seen writing checks in a restaurant trying to buy off legislators during one of the times Fearing was pushing a bill) They can bought it seems.. and it seems so can you. Show the public this does not happen.. HIRE A DOG WALKER

What Elizabeth said. The incorrectly named “Humane Society of the United States” is not Humane or a society and does nothing but raise money for their executives who are PETAphiles in a suit. Fearing is the worst wolf in dog lover’s clothing.

Fearing is overstepping the line..plain and simple.. her picture with Sutter just proves the point.. where are the pictures of other lobbyists with the dog.. dog sitter and dog walkers are plentiful in Sac and they need the work and the $$ Fearing does not.. in fact if she were really caring she would insist the Gov find a person who needs the $$ to do the job but when you can get the ear through the tail I guess that works..

Have you ever seen the annoying infomercials run by the InHumane Society on late night TV? They prominently feature a man in a police costume, wearing an LEO badge and with a pistol strapped to his side. Think about that.

The InHumane Society has so much political muscle in this messed up state that they have become a private law enforcement agency whose “officers” have legal authority to use deadly force against the public if they don’t like the way you treat your poodle. That’s why I call this place Crazyfornia.

9Things You Didn’t Know About HSUS
1. The Humane Society of the United States scams Americans out of millions of dollars through manipulative and deceptive advertising. An analysis of HSUS’s TV fundraising appeals that ran between January 2009 and September 2011 determined that more than 85 percent of the animals shown were cats and dogs. However, HSUS doesn’t run a single pet shelter and only gives 1 percent of the money it raises to pet shelters, and it has spent millions on anti-farming and anti-hunting political campaigns.
2. HSUS receives poor charity-evaluation marks. CharityWatch (formerly the American Institute of Philanthropy) reissued HSUS’s “D” rating in December 2011, finding that HSUS spends as little as 49 percent of its budget on its programs. Additionally, the 2011 Animal People News Watchdog Report discovered that HSUS spends about 43 percent of its budget on overhead costs.
3. Six Members of Congress have called for a federal investigation of HSUS. In April 2011, six Congressmen wrote the IRS Inspector General showing concerns over HSUS’s attempts to influence public policy, which they believe has “brought into question [HSUS’s] tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status.”
4. HSUS regularly contributes more to its own pension plan than it does to pet shelters. An analysis of HSUS’s tax returns determined that HSUS funneled $16.3 million to its executive pension plan between 1998 and 2009—over $1 million more than HSUS gave to pet shelters during that period.
5. The pet sheltering community believes HSUS misleads Americans. According to a nationally representative poll of 400 animal shelters, rescues, and animal control agencies, 71 percent agree that “HSUS misleads people into thinking it is associated with local animal shelters.” Additionally, 79 percent agree that HSUS is “a good source of confusion for a lot of our donors.”
6. While it raises money with pictures of cats and dogs, HSUS has an anti-meat vegan agenda. Speaking to an animal rights conference in 2006, HSUS’s then vice president for farm animal issues stated that HSUS’s goal is to “get rid of the entire [animal agriculture] industry” and that “we don’t want any of these animals to be raised and killed.”
7. Given the massive size of its budget, HSUS does relatively little hands-on care for animals. While HSUS claims it provides direct care to more animals than any other animal protection group in the US, most of the “care” HSUS provides is in the form of spay-neuter assistance. In fact, local groups that operate on considerably slimmer budgets, such as the Houston SPCA, provide direct care to just as many or more animals than HSUS does.
8. HSUS’s CEO has said that convicted dogfighting kingpin Michael Vick “would do a good job as a pet owner.” Following Vick’s release from prison, HSUS has helped “rehabilitate” Michael Vick’s public image. Of course, a $50,000 “grant” from the Philadelphia Eagles didn’t hurt.
9. HSUS’s senior management includes a former spokesman for the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), a criminal group designated as “terrorists” by the FBI. HSUS president Wayne Pacelle hired John “J.P.” Goodwin in 1997, the same year Goodwin described himself as “spokesperson for the ALF” while he fielded media calls in the wake of an ALF arson attack at a California meat processing plant. In 1997, when asked by reporters for a reaction to an ALF arson fire at a farmer’s feed co-op in Utah (which nearly killed a family sleeping on the premises), Goodwin replied, “We’re ecstatic.”
