American Humane is slightly better than the Humane Society of the United States, but local is always better.
are locals okay to donate to? If they're a local SPCA or a humane society? That's where all my dogs came from, so I used to donate a ton
1. Yes. Just because something has "humane society" in the title does not mean that they are affiliated in any way with HSUS or AHS. In fact
2. that's something that the national "humane" societies bank on...they use the word "humane" in their title to encourage the belief that
3. they are affiliated. You can always call your local shelters/rescues and ask. Also, if you're in the US make sure that the rescue is
breasticular
It kind of sucks that MOST major non-for-profit organisations in the US are just there to make money...Red Cross, Susan G Kolman, AHS, etc.
I work for a non-profit and we're all about making money compaigns because its the only way to get enough money to run our programs
Also it takes a TON of funding to just run a non-profit. Grants don't often cover salary, office space, and all that overhead funding.
These non-profits may be way worse, but all non profits need money to survive

Okay, where do I donate?
Garbagecat
I know it's not local but they rescue elephants that are tortured and over worked for decades. It's haunting...
I'd like to recommend the elephant nature park in Chiang Mai thailand. I visited yesterday and they do great work.
I'd say either your local humane society/animal rescue group, or something like a Big Cat Rescue (or elephant, etc.) - they tend to be good
walaishy
Can confirm. Useless organization.
hitheremynameisshook
Homeless Shelter.
Eh, local shelters are still a lot better at actually using the money to help animals.
They sure spend a lot of money on ads. Plus fuck that Sarah McLachlan song
TheWayADrillWorks
INNN THE AAARRRMMSSSS OOFFF
missyinc
The ads on tv are actually free. Tv stations donate them X amount of time. I think they have to fulfil a certain amount of PSAs per day
Woodinthehood
Not really. My father's a vet who cares a lot about animal welfare, and he despises the ASPCA and AHS.
ExceptFluffyDuck
Not condoning these organizations, but animal rights are *also important. We need both animal welfare and rights, as rights lead to welfare.
Being incredibly pedantic, but what would constitute"rights?" Life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness? How would that even work?
Jail time for people that abuse animals, for example. Rights to medical care. Rights exist to protect animals from people. Mostly asshats.
swimmer07
Care to elaborate? I just want more info :)
Sure thing! As a veterinarian, my dad obviously cares a lot about animals. The problem comes in the distinction between animal welfare (1)
and animal rights. People who are concerned with animal welfare (vets, local humane societies, etc) do their best to take care of (2)
SnarkySophia
Finding a local no kill shelter which focuses on using foster homes for animals waiting to be adopted would be ideal.
CrazyCatLad
No kill shelters offset the issue onto other shelters. I volunteer at a shelter that euthanizes (only for severe health/behavioral issues).
(We have very good adoption numbers and must go to neighboring states or counties to get more animals.)
mukbun
I think they spend a lot on ads, not Shure tho.
HyJinkx
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals does operate a shelter and an animal hospital - they are both in New York City
That's it, a New York City shelter only. It is a highly regarded shelter, but New York clearly isn't the nationwide shelter list
some people think of when they think of the ASPCA. To be fair, the ASPCA does humane work all over the nation,
but as far as operating shelters, well, no.

Is the ASPCA okay?
Threewisemen
Eh, local shelters are still a lot better at actually using the money to help animals.

They sure spend a lot of money on ads. Plus fuck that Sarah McLachlan song

The ads on tv are actually free. Tv stations donate them X amount of time. I think they have to fulfil a certain amount of PSAs per day

Not really. My father's a vet who cares a lot about animal welfare, and he despises the ASPCA and AHS.
ExceptFluffyDuck
Not condoning these organizations, but animal rights are *also important. We need both animal welfare and rights, as rights lead to welfare.
Woodinthehood
Being incredibly pedantic, but what would constitute"rights?" Life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness? How would that even work?
ExceptFluffyDuck
Jail time for people that abuse animals, for example. Rights to medical care. Rights exist to protect animals from people. Mostly asshats.

Care to elaborate? I just want more info :)
Woodinthehood
Sure thing! As a veterinarian, my dad obviously cares a lot about animals. The problem comes in the distinction between animal welfare (1)
Woodinthehood
and animal rights. People who are concerned with animal welfare (vets, local humane societies, etc) do their best to take care of (2)

Finding a local no kill shelter which focuses on using foster homes for animals waiting to be adopted would be ideal.
CrazyCatLad
No kill shelters offset the issue onto other shelters. I volunteer at a shelter that euthanizes (only for severe health/behavioral issues).
CrazyCatLad
(We have very good adoption numbers and must go to neighboring states or counties to get more animals.)

I think they spend a lot on ads, not Shure tho.

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals does operate a shelter and an animal hospital - they are both in New York City
HyJinkx
That's it, a New York City shelter only. It is a highly regarded shelter, but New York clearly isn't the nationwide shelter list
HyJinkx
some people think of when they think of the ASPCA. To be fair, the ASPCA does humane work all over the nation,
HyJinkx
but as far as operating shelters, well, no.

Local shelters not HSUS.

As he said, local Humane societies are good, just avoid the AHS.

Do you have butternut squash farts or does butternut squash your farts? Either way, I'm going to have a followup question.

God I fucking hate HSUS so much. They have fucked up American wildlife management so much
FeckItImAubreyPlazaNow
Them too. They have a lot of shitty, underhanded tactics.
Macy99
AHS is different from HSUS.

I'm just reading HSUS as a Spanish talking Jesus.

(Humane society, obviously - not a high school. Fuck the high schools.)
ScopesMouthwashTrial
That's illegal where I come from. Also gross.
AsAHistorian
Don't fuck the high schools!
TomGetsIt
I read it as homeless shelter. Which OP could also donate to.
IAlwaysUpvoteDumps
I thought it stood for homeless shelter. (Those need donations as well!)

That being said, every HS has an Amber willing to do all sorts of things for some weekend cash.
TomasSpasiuk
