Helping Animals and People

American Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
Join the ASPCA in supporting the Animals Matter to Me campaign, which seeks to achieve global recognition that animals are sentient beings, capable of feeling pain and suffering. Please add your name to WSPA's petition to let governments of the world know that we are serious about achieving a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare at the United Nations.

Humane Society of the United States
The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has worked since 1954 to promote the protection of all animals. With nearly ten million members and constituents, The HSUS is the nation's largest and most powerful animal protection organization, working in the United States and abroad to defend the interests of animals. We celebrate the human-animal bond, and we fight animal cruelty and abuse in all of its forms.
