Well, the way I read it, it says the Humane society of for the reporting standards, not for stopping flying pets. It means that airlines will have to make sure they take care of the animals they fly because someone is actually going to be looking at the deaths. The Humane society isn't the one who wants to stop people from owning pets, that is another organization.

Unfortunately, you are mistaken. The HSUS is an animal rights organisation as extreme as PETA, only they are perceived as a "moderate" animal welfare group by the majority of people. They argue in public for better welfare, yet behind the scenes they push an animal rights agenda that is extremely powerful.
If this succeeds, it will be a major victory for those people who wish to prevent the world from "using" animals in any way, shape or form for whatever purposes.

If you wish to continue to own companion animals in the US, you need to be fully aware of who your opponents are. The HSUS is one of them, be in no doubt.
