HUMANE WORLD FOR ANIMALS INC

The mission of the Humane Society of the United States is to create a humane and sustainable world for all animals, including people, through education, advocacy, and the promotion of respect and compassion. Our mission covers a broad range of concerns: Companion Animals works with pet owners, the animal –care and control community, and legislators. Wildlife and Habitat Protection strives to protect wildlife in their natural habitats as well as in captivity. Likewise, our Marine Mammals staff fights for better conditions, both in the wild and in captivity, for whales, manatees and other at- risk marine mammals. Government Affairs lobbies on behalf of animals at the federal, state and local levels, while Farm Animals and Sustainable Agriculture combats the spread of factory farming, advocates organic agriculture and promotes humane methods of slaughter. Animal Research campaigns to raise awareness of the pain and distress suffered by animals used in research, while Investigative Services has been working to expose animal fighting, the fur trade, greyhound racing and the Norwegian whaling industry, among other issues. Field Services oversees the work of ten HSUS regional offices, which extend the organization’s national programs into local communities. Humane Society University coordinates all HSUS training activities and creates educational opportunities.
