History

In 1954, a small animal welfare community was formed that eventually grew into Humane Society International, which continues to fight against cruelty to animals. This holiday is not only in the US but also in other countries, as the organization works with international governments to raise awareness of animal issues and provide solutions. Humane Society International now has over 12 million members.
