Humane

Formed in late 1999, Humane USA is the nation's first major political action committee devoted to the task of electing humane-minded candidates to public office at the federal and state levels. Humane USA has been formed by leaders of major animal protection organizations, including The Humane Society of the United States, The Fund for Animals, Farm Sanctuary, ASPCA, Doris Day Animal League, Animal Welfare Institute, Big Cat Rescue, The Ark Trust, Animal Rights Foundation of Florida, and others. Its board of directors, advisory board, and advisers are top grassroots and national animal protection leaders. Strong animal protection laws are produced by humane-minded elected officials, and the best way to secure a large crop of humane-minded legislators is to support them during their election campaigns. Humane USA will be involved in hundreds of races at the state and federal level during the primary and general elections. We can only succeed if animal advocates participate with the work of Humane USA. We urge you to join Humane USA, to follow its voting recommendations, to volunteer for endorsed candidates, and to be involved in the political process.
