About this Giving Opportunity
The Humane Society of the United States and their affiliates provide direct care to more than any other animal welfare organization - through their sanctuaries, veterinary programs and emergency shelters and rescues. They work to professionalize the field of animal care with their education and training programs. FCTG aims to consistently raise desperately needed funds to provide the basic life-saving essentials for thousands of animals in serious peril.
Five Facts on Animal Cruelty
1) Puppy mills are large-scale commercial dog breeding operations that put greater priority on profits than the health of the puppies. Many dogs are plagued with illnesses like kidney or heart disease as a result of the conditions they’re kept in.
2) Pet animals are commonly abused through abandonment and neglect. Owners simply stop looking after them.
3) Keeping animals chained is regarded as the most cruel form of violence on social animals.
4) Thousands of horses are brutally killed for horse meat every year.
5) Many animals like mice, rabbits and so on are used in medical experimentation and during these processes, are subject to burns, shocks, poisoning, starvation, drug addiction, and even brain-damage.
