What does it mean to be humane? It’s an innate desire to protect our children, or compassion to care for an animal in need. And it's our hope to live among people who feel the same.

We are advocates for animals, raising awareness and supporting legislation to end animal cruelty. We are advocates for children, putting a stop to child abuse, neglect and exploitation. And we are advocates for our communities, exposing the link between animal abuse and other kinds of societal violence. We are humane.
