My Nonprofit Reviews

For the past three years I have been able to collaborate on a variety of efforts with the American Humane Association including development of educational resources that promote empathy for wildlife and wild places and the creation of a humane certification for zoos and aquariums to both promote the high welfare efforts currently at these facilities but also create a forum for the continued evolution of improved practices. I was already impressed with the decades of work that AHA had committed to the use of animals in entertainment, humane certification of farms, and their celebration of animal heroes. They have long been considered the animal welfare group that DOES the work, not the ones that just TALK about the work.

The team at AHA are driven, compassionate, pragmatic, helpful and visionary. They believe in the responsible and healthy relationship between animals and people and promote a world where people have a greater understanding and appreciation for all animals. They practice logical, thoughtful solutions to animal issues using a team of the world's most experienced animal experts, and don't waste their time and resources in stunts and extreme protests to gain publicity. AHA simply and professionally defines and promotes humaneness for the world of animals.
