Humane Farming Association

With the help of this wonderful organization we were able to re-home our FFA calf to their beautiful property and educate the public at the same time. We will be forever grateful for their compassion, professionalism, and important mission.

HFA has shown that Humane Society is not what it seems. I checked both out very thoroughly and the Humane Society has become too political and big. I stopped giving to the Humane Society long ago. HFA does great work.

I have been a member of the Humane Farming Association for over fifteen years. HFA is the most effective farm animal rights group there is. In addition, HFA runs the largest farm animal sanctuary in the country. HFA does not use professional fundraisers and sends an appropriate amount of solicitations during the year. Finally, when HFA solicits donations for it's political arm (Action Fund), it is careful to state up-front that donations for legislative work are not tax-deductible.

I've done my research, too. What I can say is that if my modest donation has even a chance of easing the suffering of one of these precious quivering creatures, then to give is my privilege, to turn away, my shame. Thank you HFA, what would they do without you?

After some significant research I just decided to become a supporter of the HFA. They seem like a focused organization with a good use of funds.

I was thrown off by iabrams' comment regarding the egg bill, but after further research found HFA's position on the bill and find their position more impactful than the HSUS (http://hfa.org/hsus_smear_tactics.html, https://www.hfa.org/pr012412.html). In fact, I lost respect for the HSUS through what I learned and gained respect for HFA.

I just donated to this charity, but subsequently discovered the article linked here, which is from the Humane Society website and is quite damning. I regret my donation and cannot imagine giving again:

This is a legit organization that makes a positive difference on a crucial issue that too few people ignore because it's too inconvenient to face. Their efforts in exposing farm animal abuse and rescuing abused animals are to be lauded. I will continue to support them with my donations!

This is a fantastic organization. Don’t fall for Bruce Muncil’s comment. Contrary to his phony claim, I’ve been informed that he has never been a donor to HFA. Those of us who actually are supporters can attest to HFA’s high ethical standards and professionalism. More importantly, HFA continues to be phenomenally successfully at combating animal cruelty. That’s why, after more than 20 years, I remain a proud supporter.

I have found the organization unprofessional in responsiveness to requests and extremely unprofessional in dealing with donors.

HFA Campaign Against Factory Farming - Subject of HBO Documentary

HFA secured a conviction in this case for the way in which piglets were being brutalized. This was the very first time in the state’s history that there was a successful cruelty prosecution of a hog factory.

For the first time ever in the United States, a feature documentary regarding the mistreatment of animals within the pork industry has been broadcast by a major cable network. HBO’s Death on A Factory Farm focuses exclusively on the groundbreaking work of the Humane Farming Association, detailing HFA’s undercover investigation of Wiles Farm, the notorious hog factory located in Wayne County, Ohio.

The abuses uncovered by HFA at Wiles Farm include the starvation of sick and injured pigs, forcing pigs to live in their own waste, severe overcrowding and cannibalism, beatings, inhumane transport – and the hanging and slow death by asphyxiation of struggling and fully conscious pigs. Against overwhelming odds, HFA secured a conviction in this case for the way in which piglets were being brutalized.

The Humane Farming Association (HFA) continues to be our nation’s most effective and credible organization working on farm animal issues. Don’t be misled by HSUS’s smear tactics. The HFA has been instrumental in the passage of anti-cruelty laws on a wide range of issues. From prohibiting the sale and slaughter of downed animals, to the passage of animal abandonment legislation. From outlawing the transport and slaughter of horses for human consumption, to the inclusion of farm animals in animal abandonment laws. HFA was also responsible for introducing the first legislation in U.S history targeting the cruel confinement of animals on factory farms. These groundbreaking actions set the framework for an entire movement. And that’s all in addition to running Suwanna Ranch, the nation’s largest farm animal sanctuary and emergency care center. This is just some of why HFA is my favorite animal protection group!

The Humane Farming Association is not what it seems. They have not sponsored a single piece of legislation that has made it through to a law. They are currently attacking the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) regarding pending legislation regarding animal welfare. Donate to the HSUS and be sure your money goes to the cause you want. - to protect all animals.

I really believe in this cause and would send a check today if you had a 4 star rating today (June12,2012). I hope you can correct the problems that are giving you a 3 star rating because your cause is important to me and to all the animals who are suffering tremendously every minute of their lives.

Humane Farming Association is making the most difference for farm animals with their numerous campaigns fighting for sane animal welfare laws. There is no other group in the USA or even worldwide with the same impact. Plus they have numerous animals rescued at their farm sanctuaries.

I am very happy to see the four-star rating. HFA is a sort of midpoint for me- I am not vegan/vegetarian and find that other pro-farm-animal groups are often speaking for vegetarianism. I know that isn't a realistic goal for the majority of Americans and think that humane farming is the next best thing. I personally only buy animal products from a local farm but I know a lot of people don't have that option.
One unnamed vegetarian agenda group told me acidly, "There is no such thing as humane slaughter" when I asked if they had a list of humane animal producers.
