Humane USA
The nation's largest animal protection political
action committee. Humane USA is the only national humane organization legally able to contribute funds directly to animal friendly candidates. A small number of other groups, commonly called 501(c)(4)s, can campaign for or against those seeking office, but can not donate to their campaigns.

Why Support Humane USA?
Humane USA-backed lawmakers passed a new law to crack down on the horrible acts of dogfighting and cockfighting. They secured committee language that will save cats from being de-clawed in public housing. And we’ve passed language—which we hope will be included in final legislation—to stop the use of federal tax dollars to promote trophy hunting of elephants, lions, and other animals in foreign countries, and separate legislation to ban imports of sport-hunted polar bear trophies from Canada.

change. But 2008 will also be known as the year that the animal
protection movement achieved a new level of political traction
and influence. With
your support, Humane USA scored resounding victories for animals
at every level.
