The Humane Society of the United States

Care for animals in crisis As the HSUS works toward a humane future, it also seeks to alleviate the suffering happening today. The HSUS responds to cruelty and disasters where the need is greatest, advances tactics that reduce the use of lethal and cruel animal management approaches and provides transport and sanctuary to animals in crisis. The HSUS is there for the most vulnerable animal populations around the world with focus on lasting solutions. In recent years, the HSUS has steadily increased capacity to respond to animal cruelty and natural disasters. Continued on Schedule O

End the cruelest practices The HSUS fights the worst, most institutionalized forms of animal cruelty around the world. Current priorities include ending cosmetics testing on animals, reducing trophy hunting of wildlife, ending the use of fur in fashion, easing the suffering of billions of farm animals by eliminating cruel systems of confinement and ensuring that puppy mills can no longer sell puppies via pet stores.

Build a stronger animal protection movement The HSUS works to strengthen its allies in the fight for all animals - locally, nationally and globally. Energizing the movement to drive change-through advocacy, direct care, education, enforcement of laws and consumer choice - is fundamental to bringing an end to animal cruelty. The mission includes helping those who stand with the HSUS to become stronger. In addition to education, outreach and training work, the HSUS focuses efforts to build capacity for partner entities and agencies to use humane and effective methods for handling domestic animal cases and for resolving situations involving human-wildlife conflict.
