HSUS

Hello. I've been asked to have a look at the HSUS page, particularly the "animal rights" vs "animal welfare" issue. I notice you have been reverting the article to state that HSUS is an animal rights group. This seems counter to what the reliable sources tell us. For example:

The NYTimes Magazine: [1]

"Pacelle, who, since he became the head of the Humane Society four years ago, has transformed America’s largest animal-welfare group..."
"...making the Humane Society the richest and most powerful animal-welfare group in the country"

The Washington Post [2]:

"The animal welfare group plans to devote more resources to its legislative fund..."

Dayton Daily News [3]:

"HSUS, billed as the world’s largest animal welfare group"

There are plenty of other sources to support this also. If you contest this it would be helpful to explain why on the talk page, and provide reliable sources that support your position. I should also warn you that continued reversion to an unsupported version will likely lead to administrative action. Thanks, and feel free to drop me a note if you have questions or concerns.
