For over 70 years, Humane World for Animals, formerly called the Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International, has worked around the globe to tackle the root causes of animal cruelty and suffering to create permanent change. Driving toward the greatest global impact, we aim to achieve the vision behind our name: a more humane world.
With millions of supporters and work happening in over 50 countries, we address the most deeply entrenched forms of animal cruelty and suffering, by working on the biggest problems and creating long-term solutions for lasting change. We tackle the root causes of animal cruelty by shifting human behavior and advocating for policy change, making change at scale. We work across borders, bringing diverse expertise to the most complex issues, and doing it all with a compassionate and welcoming approach. As the leading voice in the animal protection space, we work to end the cruelest practices, care for animals in crisis and build a stronger animal protection movement.
Since 1954, we’ve helped to pass hundreds of landmark laws, rescued thousands of animals, and cared for and protected millions more. Our political lobbying affiliate in the U.S., Humane World Action Fund, formerly Humane Society Legislative Fund, works to advance our mission by passing animal protection laws at the state and federal levels, educating the public about animal protection issues.
