Politico.com has created a list of Washington, D.C.’s most eligible singles and Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States made the cut.

Hot and an animal activist? Meow!

“Any man that can tame “reformed” dog-abuser Michael Vick must be manly, right? As head of the Humane Society of the United States, he has proven to have a huge heart thanks to his work on behalf of animals. That he has Kennedy-esque looks to go along with his animal advocacy makes many purr even more.”

If you’re the stalker type admirer, you can follow Wayne’s blog at hsus.typepad.com/wayne and find out  his whereabouts-which consists of activism all over the country from reaching out to communities to end dogfighting to pushing for legislation on Capitol Hill to hosting fund raising events for the HSUS.

No, we don’t have his number.

You’ll have to get involved in animal rights, attend a HSUS event and ask him yourself.

When Michael Vick expressed interest in working with the Humane Society for anti-dogfighting education programs, he had his share of skeptics.

And while it’s still unsure of whether or not he’s actually contrite or pulling a publicity stunt, at least he’s following through on his word.

According to TMZ, Vick was spotted giving an anti-dogfighting lecture in the Englewood section of Chicago, Illinois yesterday, as part of community based End Dogfighting outreach programs sponsored by the HSUS.

According to a recent blog entry by HSUS CEO and president Wayne Pacelle, the programs were built around the concept that ex offenders may have a powerful role in preventing the behavior.

“We took note of the anti-gang and anti-violence programs done by others in urban communities, and re-engineered these programs to combat dogfighting. These programs are built around the leadership of ex-dogfighters who have turned around their lives and who are now engaging kids in more positive interactions with pit bulls.”

Taking a little break from regular celebrity gossip to bring you fantastic news.

Bank of America Credit Cards has teamed up with the Humane Society of the United States to offer a unique HSUS credit card!

Not only can you carry cute kitty in your wallet, but every time you whip out this Platinum Plus no annual fee Visa, Bank of America will donate $.25 to every $100 dollars you spend.

Credit cards may have a bad reputation for high interest rates, fees, and rapidly changing policies, but let’s face it-we all need them from time to time.

Why not help an animal in need the next time you choose monetary “plastic” instead of paper (cash).

Pokerstars.net and the Hollywood office of the Humane Society of the United States recently got together for an evening of gambling, vegan snacks, and fun.

Actress Jorja Fox looked lovelier than ever as she played her chips and cards and fellow veggie actress Shannon Elizabeth was also dealing a sharp hand to help the animals. 

Proceeds from the “Casino Royale: Playing for Change” event went towards implementing the Los Angeles HSUS’s End Dogfighting program, which educates high risk youth about caring for pit bulls versus putting them up for dogfighting. The program has already proven successful in other large cities like Chicago.

This past weekend’s event included blackjack, roulette, craps and poker, a martini and wine bar, gourmet vegan food catered by Madeleine Bistro, a silent auction, and a celebrity poker tournament.

Wonder if vegan poker great Daniel Negreanu made an appearance?

Read more about the event on the Humane Society’s blog at hsus.org and look at  more pics from the evening on their Flickr page.

When you think of animal rights, the conservative right isn’t the first group that comes to mind.

Rush Limbaugh (yes, that’s not a typo) has recorded a PSA for the Humane Society of the United States.

After the initial shock is over that conservative Rush would be involved with what some of his followers would call an “extreme left group,” here’s something else for you digest: Rush loves his little Punkin!

“When you think of law enforcement and animals, police dogs come to mind,” Rush says. “But law enforcement has another ally in the animal realm and that’s the Humane Society of the United States.”

“I have a cat. That little cat is a treasure to me-Punkin. If anybody harmed Punkin, they would be punished by me.”

Go, Rush. Get em’!

The Humane Society issued a statement saying, “The animal protection movement should never confine itself to the Left or the Right in American politics. Opposition to cruelty and the embrace of the human-animal bond are universal values, and people of every background and point of view should find common purpose with the work and programs of The Humane Society of the United States and its affiliates.”

Yes, we are coming together after all. Listen to Rush’s PSA below.
