What's next for animals?

There are always more ways you can make a difference for animals with just a few clicks of your mouse. If you haven’t already taken these actions, please so do now! Your participation can help push these issues over the finish line:

Plan for pets in disasters. When Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, people were forced to evacuate and leave their pets behind. Before the next disaster strikes, click here to urge your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators to pass the Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards (PETS) Act, which would require state and local authorities to include pets and service animals in their disaster evacuation plans.

Put an end to animal fighting. Click here to contact your Representative and urge him or her to cosponsor the Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act today and elevate animal fighting in the United States to a felony level.

Pledge to be Fur Free. Many of us would never consider wearing real fur clothing, but even compassionate consumers may be duped into buying real fur products because of manufacturers who exploit labeling loopholes. You can help put an end to this deception by signing our simple pledge to be "fur-free" this winter. Click here to sign the pledge today.

I know you'll continue to be an advocate for kindness toward animals, and I hope you will help The Humane Society of the United States achieve its many goals to stop cruelty and abuse. Your participation in our work truly creates positive change for animals, and we'll need your voice in the year ahead to help even more. Thank you again for your commitment to animal protection.
