Protecting children and animals for 132 years, today is American Humane's birthday! President Obama said the dollars from the Nobel Prize will go towards charity. This charity seems perfect!
This organization is a part of your everyday life in may ways than you can imagine...
- Go to the movies, and see 'No Animals Were Harmed' at the end of flick, those were American Humane Certified Safety Representatives protecting animals on set to insure the animal actors were kept safe.
- It was American Humane who first discovered and coined the term, 'The Link' years ago, referring to the link between animal abuse and violence to people. Today 'The Link' is used by law enforcement daily. The discovery of the Link has led to many laws, including those for cross-reporting, if animal control officer witnesses animal abuse, in many states they must now report to child protection. Being pro-active has saved lives.
-American Humane was the first to stand up against child abuse, and way back in 1883 passed to the cruelty to children act.
-
American Humane doesn't believe people must be vegetarians, but
believes it's a choice. American Humane doesn't want to see all factory
farming end. American Humane does want humane standards, however....and
American Humane wants to work reasonably with farmers...That's why the
created American Humane Certified. Soon, you'll look on a food product
- know it was American Humane certified, which means a lot, if you
stand up against animal cruelty. In fact, American Humane may change
the way we shop for food....Americans care that animals are humanely
treated, Americans, for the most part, aren't about to stop eating meat.
These
are just a few highlights....as American Humane has made the world
safer for children and animals for 132 years. I am proud to be a member
of the Board of Directors.
