The Humane Society of the United States fights on the legal side of ending animal cruelty. They fight to pass laws; which can be just as equally important, if not more important, than fighting first hand. Without these laws passed, no one could force big companies and facilities like McDonald’s, ThorSport, and Virginia’s Natural Bridge Zoo to change their policies to improve and save the lives of the animals living there.
I know this may not be what you had in mind when you were donating your money, or thinking about donating your money, but think about all the good they’ve done with it. They’ve saved MILLIONS of lives with the laws they’ve passed. That’s more than I even imagined helping when I first started donating. | You can see that they’ve helped passed many laws in the federal and state legislation on The Humane Society of the United States website. As they have written at the top of the page, "The HSUS works to advance public policies—including at the state and federal levels—to protect animals from cruelty and abuse." If you scroll down it shows you recent stories, whether they be small or big. In their eyes, every one counts because this is what your money is going to, this is what is going to help the animals, and this is how they are going to make an impact the most. |
