Just because someone's name doesn't link up directly with the HSUS or any other large and diverse organization does not mean they have no association with them. Many groups operate underate under the umbreallas of thier parent organizations. Peta , The Sierria club , HSUS etc. are large and diverse. These groups are also connected to many "Conservation " and "Environmental orgamazations" . Often the ties can not be found by taking a superficial look. Radical conservation and anti ownwrship groups are well known for thier abilty to camouflage constituates.

There is also fair amount of cross over between various activist groups and the AZA. For example Jeff Corwin sits on the Defenders of Wildlife board of Directors and also partners with the AZA on various projects including fund raisers. Corwin also turned to the pet trade when he needed animals for his shows and display specimens.
