"Despite the words “humane society” on its letterhead, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is not affiliated with your local animal shelter. Despite the omnipresent dogs and cats in its fundraising materials, it’s not an organization that runs spay/neuter programs or takes in stray, neglected, and abused pets. And despite the common image of animal protection agencies as cash-strapped organizations dedicated to animal welfare, HSUS has become the wealthiest animal rights organization on earth."

The Massachusetts Sportsmen's Council congratulates Mary Griffin as she becomes the first woman to lead the Department of Fish and Game. Her appointment to Commissioner by Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs Ian Bowles gives Griffin broad authority over the state's sporting, wildlife, fisheries and habitat protection functions.
She will replace Acting Commissioner Tom French who will step down May 16. "I'm excited about taking on the challenge of protecting our natural resources under the jurisdiction of the Department of Fish and Game," Griffin, a Cornell Law School and Davidson College graduate, said in a statement. "I want to connect the public to those resources through hunting, fishing, and other recreational activities. And I am committed to both conserving our natural resources and preserving the communities that depend on them."
Prior to her service at the Department of Environmental Protection, the Hingham resident served as general counsel to the Secretary of Environmental Affairs, assistant attorney general in the Environmental Protection Division for former Attorney General Scott Harshbarger, and the top lawyer for the state parks system. She has worked as a private lawyer for the Boston firm WilmerHale.
