A Humane Society Starts with You for 60 Years, the Humane Society of the United HSUS States Has Made Unprecedented Change for Animals a humane society starts with you For 60 years, The Humane Society of the United HSUS States has made unprecedented change for animals. We’ve taken on the biggest fights wherever we find them: on the VICTORIES ground, in the boardroom, in the courts and on Capitol Hill.

Five themes will guide our work: • Implementing 21st century solutions to move away from cruel and archaic practices • Transitioning to a humane economy that syncs our commercial and social behavior with our core values concerning the proper treatment of animals • Expanding the notion of civil society throughout the world by promoting ABOVE: kindness to animals, while working to upgrade legal standards Wayne Pacelle with his • Broadening our campaigns globally and scaling them up accordingly adopted dog, Lily. • Taking animal protection to the next level to achieve even more meaning- ON THE COVER: ful gains in the biggest and most urgent areas of need In Puerto Rico, we’re working with Humane Society International to drastically With these themes in mind, we’ve identified five areas where we’re on the reduce the street dog population by promoting spay/ verge of big change.

  • (HSVMA) Veterinary Report on Puppy Mills May 2013
    Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association (HSVMA) Veterinary Report on Puppy Mills May 2013 Puppy mills are large-scale canine commercial breeding establishments (CBEs) where puppies are produced in large numbers and dogs are kept in inhumane conditions for commercial sale. That is, the dog breeding facility keeps so many dogs that the needs of the breeding dogs and puppies are not met sufficiently to provide a reasonably decent quality of life for all of the animals. Although the conditions in CBEs vary widely in quality, puppy mills are typically operated with an emphasis on profits over animal welfare and the dogs often live in substandard conditions, housed for their entire reproductive lives in cages or runs, provided little to no positive human interaction or other forms of environmental enrichment, and minimal to no veterinary care. This report reviews the following: • What Makes a Breeding Facility a “Puppy Mill”? • How are Puppies from Puppy Mills Sold? • How Many Puppies Come from Puppy Mills? • Mill Environment Impact on Dog Health • Common Ailments of Puppies from Puppy Mills • Impact of Resale Process on Puppy Health • How Puppy Buyers are Affected • Impact on Animal Shelters and Other Organizations • Conclusion • References What Makes a Breeding Facility a “Puppy Mill”? Emphasis on Quantity not Quality Puppy mills focus on quantity rather than quality. That is, they concentrate on producing as many puppies as possible to maximize profits, impacting the quality of the puppies that are produced. This leads to extreme overcrowding, with some CBEs housing 1,000+ dogs (often referred to as “mega mills”). When dogs live in overcrowded conditions, diseases spread easily.

  • Veterinary Problems in Puppy Mill Dogs
    Veterinary Problems in Puppy Mill Dogs Dogs in puppy mills often suffer from an array of painful and potentially life-shortening veterinary problems due to overcrowded, unsanitary conditions and the lack of proper oversight or veterinary care. Conditions common to puppy mills, such as the use of stacked, wire cages to house more animals than a given space should reasonably hold, as well as constant exposure to the feces and urine of other dogs, make it difficult for dogs to avoid exposure to common parasites and infectious diseases. In addition, a lack of regular, preventive veterinary care, clean food and water, basic cleaning and grooming, and careful daily observation by the operators may cause even minor injuries or infections to fester until they become severe. These disorders cause undue pain and suffering to the animals involved and often result in premature death.

    2020 Annual Report ACHIEVEMENTS FOR ANIMALS The Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International work together to end the cruelest practices toward animals, rescue and care for animals in crisis, and build a stronger animal protection movement. And we can’t do it without you. How we work Ending the cruelest practices We are focused on ending the worst forms of institutionalized animal suffering— including extreme confinement of farm animals, puppy mills, the fur industry, trophy hunting, animal testing of cosmetics and the dog meat trade. Our progress is the result of our work with governments, the private sector and multinational bodies; public awareness and consumer education campaigns, public policy efforts, and more. Caring for animals in crisis We respond to large-scale cruelty cases and disasters around the world, providing rescue, hands-on care, logistics and expertise when animals are caught in crises. Our affiliated care centers heal and provide lifelong sanctuary to abused, abandoned, exploited, vulnerable and neglected animals. Building a stronger animal protection movement Through partnerships, trainings, support, collaboration and more, we’re building a more humane world by empowering and expanding the capacity of animal welfare advocates and organizations in the United States and across the globe. Together, we’ll bring about faster change for animals. Our Animal Rescue and Response team stands ready 24/7 to help animals caught in crises in the United States and around the world. Here, HSI director of global animal disaster response Kelly Donithan comforts a koala we saved after the devastating wildfires on Australia’s Kangaroo Island.

Environmental Impacts of One Puppy Mill among Many A CASE HISTORY John A. Gill,* June 2013 Abstract In recent decades, the animal welfare aspects of irresponsibly-managed commercial dog-breeding businesses have attracted national attention, prompting legislative and regulatory actions. However, the environmental impacts of such businesses, also known as puppy mills, have received far less attention. Most puppy mills are secretive; therefore, it is hard to get documented information about their environmental impacts. Although the former Whispering Oaks Kennels near Parkersburg, W.Va., also kept secrets, reliable environmental information regarding its operation became available because in the summer of 2008, Wood County cited the facility for violating the State’s water pollution and solid waste statutes. This report is based on documented information generated by legal actions and eventual settlement. A chronological list of events involving Whispering Oaks’ effects on the environment is appended. On Saturday, August 23, 2008, a team of animal protection organizations and West Virginia’s Wood County Sheriff Department seized approximately 950 dogs from the former Whispering Oaks Kennels, an unlicensed, commercial dog-breeding facility in a wooded area near Parkersburg.

  • An Unprecedented Year
    An Unprecedented Year SINCE 1954, THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES (HSUS) has worked to create a more humane world through our programs and campaigns, regional offices, and global affiliates. We made an unprecedented leap forward in 2005 by joining with The Fund for Animals, which was founded by the legendary Cleveland Amory in 1967. Combining forces with The Fund represented a significant step toward uniting the entire humane movement in one powerful voice and streamlined our operations, freeing more resources for action on behalf of animals. This historic union also produced the youngest member of our family of organizations—the Humane Society Legislative Fund—and a new section devoted to major campaigns against factory farming, animal fighting and cruelty, the fur industry, and inhumane hunting practices, as well as the nation’s largest in-house animal protection litigation department. The year also saw unprecedented action—a massive mobilization to rescue animals left in the wake of natural disaster—and our staff and members rose to the challenge with unprecedented dedication and generosity. and helped offset costs to allow the sale Helping Pets and Their People of more than 100,000 copies for only 99 cents each.
