Why You Should Leave a Charitable Bequest to American Humane

American Humane was originally formed in the late 1800s. It was the joint effort of delegates in 27 various humane organizations across 10 states. They came together to create the first combined forum that would unite a common mission of stopping inhumane treatment of farm animals. From there, the ideals, vision and overall mission developed and expanded.

With the help of generous donations and support over the years, American Humane has been able to:

Become the country's first official national humane organization
Secure humane treatment for working livestock and animals in transit
Add child safety and protection to their agenda
Promote humane education in public schools and fight against animal cruelty in classroom demonstrations/experiments
Prosecute cases against cruelty to children
Spearhead campaigns in effort to pass child labor laws
Promote and run programs for therapy dogs
Pass and see signed-into-law The Humane Slaughter Act
Pass Anti-Dogfighting laws in several states
Take leadership roles addressing ethnic and cultural issues relating to child protection
Establish the Be Kind to Animals contest, honoring children who demonstrate exceptional care for animals

And so much more…
