Mission: Humane

Mission: Humane gets youth actively involved in animal protection and provides resources for classroom teachers, animal sheltering professionals, and others to guide youth animal protection clubs.

The program provides projects for elementary-school students and teens, resources for forming clubs and taking action, and rewards for activities. Projects are designed to get young people working on the most important issues affecting animals today. Mission: Humane projects include:

A Cause for Paws  Learning proper dog care, promoting improved conditions for dogs in puppy mills, and raising community awareness about how to get a dog without supporting cruelty.

Combat Cruelty
  Raising community awareness about recognizing and reporting animal abuse and the need for strict anti-cruelty laws.

Friends for Hens  Getting the word out about cruel battery cages used for hens and working to help the community go cage-free.

Shoot to Save Wildlife
  Taking photos of our wild neighbors to teach others to appreciate and live peacefully with them.

Fight Fur
  Raising awareness about the cruelty of fur production.
