Do you have any citations to this? To me, this sounds like the sort of thing that tars all "humane societies" with the same brush when there is only one example of a humane society as a front for extremists. Do you have any evidence that the deputized humane societies and animal shelters are fronts for these organizations? The ASPCA and the American Humane society are probably the most well known and largest of these organizations, and they are not fronts for animal rights groups.

FL law does seem to have some safeguards in place...I just find it bothersome. Notice in the statute it mentions societies for prevention of cruelty to animals or children? Why children as well?

This is common, and probably stems from some historical reason linking the two. The American Humane society is a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals and children, so maybe the law took it from their mission.
