It’s definintely not turning into PETA week here at Deceiver. No way. It’s not all about PETA. Definitely not. Nosirree.
There are, in fact, other animal protection cuckoo groups doing hideously two-faced things out there.
This story involves Paris Hilton. And she’s not even the hypocrite! You bet it’s going to be good.
Deceiver reader Kelly writes in to tell us that Wonky McValtrex™ got an award from the Humane Society of the United States this week at the Sundance film festival. And no, it had nothing to do with humane on-screen treatment of a beaver. Shame on you.
Paris Hilton was presented with an award in honor of her support of the save-the-seals cause. “We all have cats and dogs we love, and they’re animals, and seals are the same,” said Paris, unofficial BFF to baby seals, accepting her commemorative plaque.
So suddenly Paris is a big friend to animals? Tell that to the exotic kinkajou she smuggled into L.A., where it’s illegal to own them as pets.
This is the same Paris Hilton who was the poster-child for buying puppy-mill pets from a (since bankrupted) Beverly Hills doggie boutique. Guess who raised holy hell about that? The Humane Society of the United States.
This is Paris freakin’ Hilton, after all — not the Dalai Lama! She wound up on the receiving end of a Los Angeles Department of Animal Services investigation last year after admitting on Ellen that she owned 17 dogs. And not all of them were snipped.
A few months later, a Melrose Avenue pet store refused to sell Paris a dog because they thought it was just an “impulse buy” (like everything else she buys — duh!) … and good thing too. Chihuahuas and yorkies apparently have this nasty little habit of turning up dead in her closets once they stop matching her hair and shoes.
So back to Sundance. While Paris wasn’t busy stealing twice her weight in celebrity swag, what the hell was she doing getting an award from the Humane Society of the United States?
Oh! People is reporting that she got her award “after donating to the Humane Society.” How much, you ask? Just $100,000.
This is mere pocket change for her. And again, she’s not the hypocrite here. Why not? Bear with me.
If you’re a U.S. Senator who screws over the environmental lobby for five years, what do you do in Year Six when you need their vote? You buy ‘em off with one grand gesture. That’s just called being slimy. But if the environmentalists vote for you anyway, they’re the hypocrites. See what I mean?
Same thing here. The two-faced dog in the room is the Humane Society. Apparently, any puppy-killing skank can rehabilitate her “humane” cred, and the bidding starts in the low six-figures.
Good to know. Just in case I’m ever rich, evil, and cynical.

wow.. thanks for the article deceiver. i’m very dissappointed in the HSUS. an award for parasite hilton? after all the doo doo shes been in with animals? how stupid.. oh and i love the wonky mcvaltrex name! haha
Pitiful, shame on the HSUS. Did they not view the segment of Paris sharing with Ellen DeGeneres that she has 17 dogs at home because they (her dogs) just keep having puppies? Such a role model for responsible pet ownership, that girl Paris (insert sarcastic smirk here). And so NOT deserving of a Humane Society “award”, which we can clearly see is just a thank you note for the dollars donated by Paris. Last I knew, it was ILLEGAL to have that many dogs (no where near this many dogs) in LA County without a kennel license. Will somebody please file a complaint? I no longer live in Southern CA, thank God. I am curious why the LA Times and other “legitimate” news media in So Cal have not pursued this story, as well as the one where Beyonce abandoned a dog at a media corporate office. It would be so RESPONSIBLE if this were splashed across the LA Times and People magazine and everywhere else to help put an end to the idea that a dog is a fashion accessory. Do they have any idea how many dogs are put to death at shelters when their “owners” figure out that caring for a dog is more of a responsibility than buying a watch? Stop it! Do what you can Deceiver!
Do these people have no shame?
I expect the city will be tearing down her house some day to rid the neighborhood of the stench of animal waste.
Damn. I support the Humane Society of the United States. I guess I need to find another pet friendly society to donate to.
This just goes to show that the HSUS is nothing but a corporation intent on making money. They can say whatever they want but the bottom line in the almighty dollar.
Supporting your local animal shelter or, nationally, the ASPCA is your best bet. Anyone who really cares about animal welfare should stay far away from PETA and the HSUS.
“I guess I need to find another pet friendly society to donate to.”
With charities in general, local is always the best bet. Doesn’t matter what it is: a homeless shelter, medical clinic, animal rescue group, or a veteran’s support network. Choose the one you can walk around in.
Any place where they welcome your visit, encourage your involvement, and can easily show you where their need is greatest, these are likely the organizations which do the most good for the least money.
Once a group gets to a certain size, they tend to waste more money on administration, advertising, and solicitation.
A local group is alway far more appreciative too. Which would you rather get in return for your investment, a computer generated thank you letter or a great big hug?
I already support the Wounded Warrior Project as well as the local VA groups as my husband is a veteran. I also support local pet charities. I guess I have to cross of the National Humane Society and focus on my local shelter.
Let’s not forget this little tidbit from last month…

I’d hit it still (Wonky)
And Oversneer, after reading the last thoughts you had here, I might be willing to get with you too! Awesome!
Always consistent, Jrod! X-D
Geez, look at the size of the chain on that poor tiny doggie! Probably has to be nothing but a Channel chain for Her Wonkness’ pets, doesn’t matter if the dog’s uncomfortable, oh no. :-p
Go for it, Jrod, but as I’ve said before (and as her nickname would seem to indicate), bring the Trojans and a box of Cipro, just in case.
A nurse friend tells me a common reason many Hollywood stars have C-sections is because they share Paris’s *ahem* condition and don’t want the baby to get it.
Eww.
Jannah, I think that chain is connected to Ms. McValtrex’s Chanel purse, not to the dog. Although pookie still doesn’t look too thrilled there.
Who’s next for an award? Beonyce? I guess she could get it for at least leaving her dog in a decent environment.
Time for Animal Control to raid her house & remove her pets as she seems to have become a hoarder. Dead dogs in the closet? Probably impaled on one of her stillettos!!
What about the SPCA? Can they be trusted?
Hey, you’re right McMom, I didn’t see the white purse against the white skirt. Gosh, I thought that poor poochie was on a big choke-chain or something!
As far as non-local groups to support, there’s the Pet-Cops people on that one cable/sat TV show. I’d trust them, especially the blonde lady. She looks extremely committed and caring. Don’t know how you’d support what I think is a municipality organization.
Maybe one should consider donating to the Candies’ Foundation to “empower” young women to respect themselves. Seems like a really worthwhile cause for a guy looking for young women who’ll probably get a boob job after getting help from the foundation.

angry army wife – like someone else said here.. your local animal shelter (i donate food for the cats and dogs to mine monthly, and its really not that expensive) or the ASPCA seem to be our best bet. PETA and now the HSUS cannot be trusted!
I’d rather help out my local animal shelter than a national group.
When will these celebutards learn… if you want something cute to carry around, buy a purse. Dogs aren’t accessories, they’re long-term responsibilities. At least no one will get on your case if you decide to toss a purse in a closet. Then again, this twits live in a world where rules don’t apply to them I suppose.
Hopefully some day soon carrying around a hapless pet will become passe and so five minutes ago, and they will stop doing it.
And she says she wants to have kids. (shudder)
Seriously B?
Would somebody please inform the princess that babies usually object to riding around in an oversized purse with their head stuck out a hole in the side?
It’s beyond me how someone could treat their dogs so badly! Mine are my little buddies…I feel bad leaving them home while i go to work!
Ah, no not the Humane Society too?! I thought more of them. They are on the celebrity bandwagon like those whackos at PETA – yes, they are crazy. If you are offended then you are not all there either! Really, Paris Hilton?! Those poor dogs. That is seriously sick.
Wow, you all at Deceiver are on the ball. It’s terrible about the dogs but at least we now know. Shame on Paris Hilton and on the HSUS. Or is this the way the HSUS plans to help Paris?
can you give me your tiger picture?
please…
