The human-animal bond is as old as human history.
We cherish our animal companions for their unconditional affection and acceptance.
We feel a thrill when we glimpse wild creatures in their natural habitat or in
our own backyard. Unfortunately, the human-animal bond has at times been weakened.
Humans have exploited some animal species to the point of extinction. Research
animals suffer pain and distress in laboratory tests considered necessary for
human health. Animals killed for fur fashions endure unimaginable agony in inhumane
traps or on fur "ranches." Animals used by the food industry live on
factory farms where they are treated as unfeeling commodities rather than as sentient
beings. The use of animal parts for traditional medicines has contributed to the
disappearance of some species worldwide. The Humane Society of the United States
makes a difference in the lives of animals here at home and worldwide. The HSUS
is dedicated to creating a world where our relationship with animals is guided
by compassion. We seek a truly humane society in which animals are respected for
their intrinsic value, and where the human-animal bond is strong. |
