It also appears that HSUS spent a pretty penny on a months-long, multi-city book tour for its CEO—whose book doesn’t even appear to have sold well at all. Donor money even was spent flying his wife around.</p>
<p>According to the 2016 HSUS tax return, the organization received royalties of $22,172 for Wayne Pacelle’s book. Pacelle was paid $22,172 in royalties as well, and got an advance of $46,750 in 2015. Based on how authors are paid royalties and advances—<a href="http://www.alanjacobson.com/writers-toolkit/the-business-of-publishing/">details here</a>—and the cost of Pacelle’s book, we estimate that only about 26,000 copies were bought.</p>
<p>Not exactly John Grisham. Keep in mind that HSUS has a mailing list of millions of people—and that’s the best he could do?</p>
<p>And it looks even worse when you consider that, for that measly $22,000, HSUS paid for Pacelle to crisscross the county on a book tour.</p>
<p>We were able to track down 18 states (plus DC) on Pacelle’s book tour, with a total of 35 days and 37 stops from coast to coast. Once you factor in flights (first class?), hotels, meals, and other expenses, it starts to add up.</p>
<p>We may also add in travel expenses for Pacelle Wife #2, former al Jazeera reporter <a href="https://www.humanewatch.org/hsus-anti-chicken-propaganda-courtesy-of-terrorism-moneymen/">Lisa Fletcher</a>. HSUS reports on its tax return that it paid $4,181 to cover her “travel expenses” for “media support.” And it’s possible that HSUS staffers (or even a bodyguard) traveled with Pacelle.</p>
<p>Not long ago “60 Minutes” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhAb37yZ0o0">exposed a charity CEO</a> for writing a book and having the charity pay for his book tour. Donors to HSUS expect their money will be used to help care for animals—not serve as a self-promotional vanity tour for its CEO—who already gets paid over $400,000 a year.</p>

Instead, they have high paid staff and attorneys, and give less than 1% for the care and welfare of animals.
