Humane Society Anniversary Day

Humane Society Anniversary Day is celebrated on November 22 in the United States. This is an important date for society: when our hearts show compassion for animals, the world becomes a much better place. Today we call on all those who are not indifferent to unite and make the connection between man and animal even stronger!

History

In 1954, a small animal welfare community was formed. Every day the number of members of the organization increased, and those problems that seemed unsolvable gradually left our four-legged friends. Subsequently, Humane Society International appeared – an organization to this day is fighting cruelty to animals. There is still a big front of work ahead, but success is obvious.

The holiday concerns not only America, but also other countries. The community is in contact with international governments, raising topical issues in the area and offering the best solutions to problems. This is a colossal work of a huge team of people scattered around the world! All of them are in love with their work and believe that by joint efforts they will create comfortable conditions for the life of animals. Today, Humane Society International has over 12 million members.
