Our Favorite Good Causes: The Humane Society
Global Goodness
Your journey to a conscious lifestyle includes many components with a focus on supporting a better world. A great way to promote this is to encourage support of various charities since they focus on social concerns. This month so far we’ve featured two charities, 1% for the planet and charity: water. This week, I’m describing another one of my favorite charities -- The Humane Society of the United States. This charity does an amazing job advocating for animals and animal rights.
Protecting Animals
This nonprofit organization’s mission is “to create a more humane society” for animals. The Humane Society of the United States has been protecting animals since 1954 through advocacy, education and hands-on programs.

Advocating for Animals
Animals cannot advocate for themselves, so that’s where you come in. There are many different topics to aid in the betterment of animal lives. The Humane Society of the United States has many categories on its website such as: banning trophy hunting, ending cosmetics animal testing, going fur-free, improving the lives of farm animals and stopping puppy mills. If any of these topics pique your interest, jump over to the Humane Society of the United States website for more information on how to help.
Get Involved
Fighting for animal welfare has a great effect on animals’ quality of life. There are a few different ways to get involved with the Humane Society of the United States:
Donate money
Volunteer your time
Donate your car for auction
All three of these options help the Humane Society of the United States thrive and assist as many animals as possible.
“We fight all forms of animal cruelty to achieve the vision behind our name: A humane society.”
The Numbers
The education programs train animal advocates. Looking for the numbers?
The Humane Society of the United States has trained:
200 veterinary students
4,000 officers about recognizing animal cruelty and neglect
10,000 food-service professionals on how to make plant-based meals
Improve the World
Despite the fact that the Humane Society of the United States has been around for more than half a century, this organization still has so much more to fight for. If you’re looking for a way to impact animal lives in a huge way, animal welfare organizations are the way to go. Help improve the world by supporting charities like the Humane Society of the United States!
