From ANIMAL PEOPLE, December 1995:

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y.––Over the past four years Farm Sanctuary annual reports
have claimed $822,878 more in spending than Farm Sanctuary declared to the Internal
Revenue Service––and have ascribed $683,146 of that amount to program service. The ghost
expenditures have enabled Farm Sanctuary to claim that it spent 86% of revenues on programs
in 1993, and 88% on programs in 1994.
The income lines in the annual reports for fiscal years 1991 through 1994 match the
Farm Sanctuary IRS Form 990 filings, but the program spending and total expenditure lines
vary by as much as $257,961:
Year Program expense Difference Total expenditures Difference

WASHINGTON, D.C.– – Humane
Society of the United States executive vice
president Patricia Forkan is to assume authority
over HSUS domestic operations effective
on January 1, 1996. HSUS president Paul
Irwin, now heading domestic operations, will
move over to head the umbrella organization,
Humane Society International, while current
HSI president John Hoyt, 65, will serve as
vice president until he retires in May, officially
for health reasons.
Former HSUS vice president for
investigations and legislation David Wills,
Hoyt’s longtime protege and onetime chosen
successor, was formally terminated on
October 14, two months after he was officially
placed on “administrative leave,” and was
in fact fired, in so many words, according to
a very highly placed informant. HSUS has
also sued Wills, seeking the recovery of
funds––believed to be about $16,500––
allegedly misappropriated to his personal use.
