Return Reference Explanation
Schedule G, Part I, Line 2b(v) PAYMENT OF FUNDRAISING EXPENSES THE AGREEMENTS THE HSUS ENTERED INTO WITH TARGET MARKETEAM, INC., AND DONOR SERVICES GROUP ALLOWED FOR THE PAYMENT OF FUNDRAISING EXPENSES (SUCH AS PRINTING, PAPER, POSTAGE, ENVELOPES AND MAILING LIST RENTAL) IN ADDITION TO THE PAYMENT OF FEES FOR PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISING SERVICES. TARGET MARKETEAM, INC. AND DONOR SERVICES GROUP PROVIDE DETAILS WHICH ALLOW THE HSUS TO IDENTIFY WHICH COSTS ARE FOR PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISING AND WHICH COSTS ARE RELATED TO GENERAL FUNDRAISING EXPENSES. THE HSUS PAID OUT $556,086 to TARGET MARKETEAM, INC. AND $72,576 TO DONOR SERVICES GROUP FOR FUNDRAISING EXPENSES. IN ADDITION TO THE ORGANIZATIONS WHICH APPEAR ON SCHEDULE G, PART I, THE HSUS DID ENTER INTO ARRANGEMENTS WITH THREE FUNDRAISING VENDORS WHERE THE ORGANIZATION MADE PAYMENTS EXCLUSIVELY FOR FUNDRAISING EXPENSES BUT NOT FOR PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISING SERVICES. THESE VENDORS HANDLE TASKS SUCH AS THE COMPILATION OF MAILING LISTS, PRINTING, DATA PROCESSING SERVICES, MAILING OF DIRECT MAIL PIECES, BUT THEY DO NOT ASSIST WITH THE CREATION OR PREPARTION OF THE DIRECT MAIL LETTERS, NOR ARE THEY INVOLVED IN ANY OTHER PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISING ACTIVITY.
Schedule G, Part I GENERAL EXPLANATION: THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES (HSUS) AND ITS AFFILIATED ENTITIES RELY ON A SUBSTANTIAL AND LONGSTANDING PROGRAM OF DIRECT MAIL FUNDRAISING TO SUPPORT THE FULL RANGE OF ACTIVITIES THEY UNDERTAKE ON BEHALF OF ANIMALS, WHETHER IT INVOLVES HANDS-ON CARE, POLICY WORK, SCIENTIFIC OR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS, HUMANE EDUCATION, LITIGATION, PUBLICATION, OR COMMUNICATION. DIRECT MAIL HAS PLAYED A FUNDAMENTAL ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HSUS AND ITS AFFILIATES, AND IT REMAINS CRUCIAL TO THE ORGANIZATIONS' SUCCESS IN HELPING ANIMALS. AS AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL THAT DESCRIBES THE ORGANIZATIONS' NUMEROUS PROGRAMS AND CAMPAIGNS TO HELP ANIMALS, DIRECT MAIL FUNDRAISING HELPS TO CREATE GREATER AWARENESS OF THE ORGANIZATIONS' CAMPAIGNS AND CONCERNS, AND HAS ALLOWED US TO BUILD A CONSTITUENCY OF SUPPORTERS UNMATCHED IN THE HUMANE FIELD, WITH TREMENDOUS SOCIAL, POLITICAL, AND PRACTICAL BENEFITS TO THE ORGANIZATIONS' WORK. TO COMPLEMENT DIRECT MAIL, THE HSUS RELIES ON LARGER INDIVIDUAL GIFTS SOLICITED BY REGIONAL FUNDRAISERS, PLANNED GIVING, FACE TO FACE GIVING, FOUNDATION GRANTS, TELEPHONE SOLICITATION, WORKPLACE GIVING, ONLINE SOLICITATION, BEQUESTS, AND DIRECT RESPONSE TELEVISION ADVERTISEMENTS. TOGETHER, THESE METHODS FORM THE BASIS OF A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO SECURING THE FUNDS AND THE CONSTITUENCY NECESSARY TO MEET OUR URGENT AND LONG TERM ANIMAL WELFARE GOALS.
Schedule G, Part I, Line 2b(v) PAYMENT OF FUNDRAISING EXPENSES THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES PAID PARAGON STRATEGIC INSIGHTS $79,125 TO PRODUCE AN ASSESSMENT OF THE DIRECT RESPONSE TV ADS THAT HAD BEEN RUN BY HSUS DURING PRIOR YEARS.
Schedule G, Part I, Line 2b(vi) General explanation: HSUS has retained Givebridge and Green Planet Sales Compnay, Inc., to manage face to face appeals and contacts for the charity. The face to face program run by these vendors was initiated during 2017. The program is expected to allow HSUS to grow its donor base each year and to provide HSUS with an increased cash flow over time. It should also be pointed out that donations from supporters contacted in prior years via the face to face program are not included in the gross receipts totals for these vendors on the current year return. For this reason HSUS expects the amount paid to these two vendors to exceed gross receipts from these face to face campaigns on the current year 990, Schedule G, Part I.

IN 2018, DONOR CARE FIELDED 74,811 TELEPHONE CALLS AND 90,863 EMAILS ACROSS ALL HSUS AFFILIATES. COMPANION ANIMALS: THE HSUS IS COMMITTED TO CREATING A BETTER, KINDER WORLD FOR CATS, DOGS AND OTHER ANIMAL COMPANIONS. THE COMPANION ANIMALS SECTION CONDUCTS A NUMBER OF PROGRAMS AIMED AT REDUCING EUTHANASIA OF HEALTHY AND TREATABLE ANIMALS, PROMOTES THE SOCIAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, AND OTHER BENEFITS OF THE HUMAN-ANIMAL BOND, AND WORKS WITH SHELTERS AND RESCUE GROUPS TO PREVENT ANIMAL SUFFERING WHEN THAT BOND BREAKS. THE SECTION INTERACTS WITH THE PUBLIC ON ISSUES INCLUDING SPAYING AND NEUTERING, TETHERING OF DOGS, GREYHOUND RACING, MICRO-CHIPPING, AND THE MANAGEMENT OF OUTDOOR CATS. THE SECTION ALSO WORKS TO PROVIDE COMMUNITIES, SHELTERS, AND PET OWNERS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NEEDED TO CONFRONT ANIMAL CRUELTY, END PET OVERPOPULATION, AND PROVIDE SAFE, APPROPRIATE HOMES FOR COMPANION ANIMALS. PETS FOR LIFE: THE HSUS'S GROUNDBREAKING PETS FOR LIFE (PFL) PROGRAM ADDRESSES THE CRITICAL LACK OF ACCESSIBLE AND AFFORDABLE PET SERVICES AND INFORMATION FOR PEOPLE AND PETS IN UNDERSERVED AREAS, CONNECTING COMMUNITIES TO WELLNESS CARE AND SERVICES. AS THE PFL PROGRAM HAS EXPANDED TO NEW MARKETS (SUPPORTED BY GRANTS), IT HAS PROVEN THAT IT CAN BRING UP A COMMUNITY'S SPAY/NEUTER RATE FROM LESS THAN TEN PERCENT TO 87 PERCENT, IN LINE WITH THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. WITH THE INVOLVEMENT OF MORE THAN TWO DOZEN ALLIED ORGANIZATIONS, THE HSUS IS CLOSING THE SERVICE GAP AND SHOWING ANIMAL GROUPS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS A BETTER WAY TO FOCUS ON PEOPLE AND PETS. THIS BUILDS STRONG RELATIONSHIPS AND TRUST WITHIN A LARGELY UNREACHED AND OVERLOOKED DEMOGRAPHIC OF PET OWNERS. PUPPY MILLS: THE PUPPY MILLS CAMPAIGN EDUCATES THE PUBLIC ABOUT HOW TO OBTAIN DOGS AS PETS WITHOUT SUPPORTING THE PUPPY MILL INDUSTRY, WHILE SEEKING TO HIGHLIGHT THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH-VOLUME, SUBSTANDARD COMMERCIAL DOG BREEDING OPERATIONS. THE SECTION SUPPORTS RESPONSIBLE DOG BREEDERS BY PUBLICLY SHARING INFORMATION ON HOW TO SELECT A BREEDER, AND BY WORKING WITH A BREEDER ADVISORY AND RESOURCE COUNCIL (BARC).
Form 990, Part III, Line 4c PUBLIC POLICY AND ENFORCEMENT (CONTINUED) CONTINUED FROM PART III, 4C (1 OF 4) EQUINE PROTECTION: IN 2018, THE HSUS'S CAMPAIGN TO END THE CRUEL PRACTICE OF SORING TENNESSEE WALKING HORSES CONTINUED TO ADVANCE. THE PREVENT ALL SORING TACTICS (PAST) ACT, TO UPGRADE THE FEDERAL LAW AGAINST SORING, SECURED 336 COSPONSORS IN THE 115th CONGRESS. THE HSUS CONTINUED TO FIGHT EFFORTS TO REOPEN DOMESTIC HORSE SLAUGHTERHOUSES. THE HSUS WORKED HARD TO RESTORE A PROHIBITION ON FEDERAL FUNDING FOR THE INSPECTION OF HORSE SLAUGHTERHOUSES, AND TO PROHIBIT OTHER USDA EXPENDITURES FOR HORSE SLAUGHTER. THE HSUS CAMPAIGNED FOR PASSAGE OF THE SAFEGUARD AMERICAN FOOD EXPORTS (SAFE) ACT, WHICH WOULD IMPOSE A BAN ON SLAUGHTER AND EXPORT OF AMERICAN HORSES FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION AND SECURED 250 COSPONSORS IN THE 115th CONGRESS. IN 2018, THE HSUS CONTINUED ITS EFFORTS TO PROMOTE THE HUMANE MANAGEMENT OF WILD HORSES AND BURROS ON PUBLIC LANDS, AND TO WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT TO RESEARCH THE FEASIBILITY OF TREATING FREE-ROAMING WILD BURROS WITH PZP. THE HSUS SUCCESSFULLY RALLIED TO ENSURE THAT LANGUAGE WAS INCLUDED IN FY19 APPROPRIATIONS THAT WOULD PREVENT WILD HORSES AND BURROS FROM BEING SLAUGHTERED. ANIMAL RESEARCH ISSUES: THE HSUS IS A LEADER IN THE CAMPAIGN TO END ANIMAL USE IN TOXICITY TESTING, INCLUDING COSMETICS TESTING. THE HSUS HAS SUPPORTED FEDERAL LEGISLATION, THE HUMANE COSMETICS ACT (HCA), TO PROHIBIT TESTING OF COSMETICS ON ANIMALS IN THE U.S. AND THE SALE OF COSMETICS THAT INVOLVED ANIMAL TESTING, EVEN IF CONDUCTED OUTSIDE OF THE U.S., AND ALSO WORKED TO SECURE PASSAGE OF A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND COSMETICS LAW. BUILDING UPON PASSAGE OF THE FRANK R. LAUTENBERG CHEMICAL SAFETY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY ACT, WHICH MANDATES THAT ANIMALS ONLY BE USED AS A LAST RESORT, AND PRIORITIZES DEVELOPMENT OF NEW METHODS, THE HSUS CONTINUES TO WORK TO ENSURE PROPER IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LAW BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY. THE HSUS ACHIEVED POLICY GAINS REGARDING REPLACEMENT OF ANIMALS FOR PESTICIDE TESTING. THE HSUS CONTINUED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE COMMITTEE FOR THE ORGANIZATION FOR ECONOMIC COOPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT (OECD) AND THE INTERAGENCY COORDINATING COMMITTEE FOR THE VALIDATION OF ALTERNATIVE METHODS (ICCVAM). THESE BODIES HAVE SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE OVER THE ADOPTION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ALTERNATIVES TO THE USE OF ANIMALS. OECD RELEASED MULTIPLE GUIDELINES ON NON-ANIMAL ALTERNATIVES TO SPARE ANIMALS FROM THE SUFFERING INVOLVED WITH TOXICITY TESTING. THE HSUS CONTINUED TO LEAD THE HUMAN TOXICOLOGY PROJECT CONSORTIUM (WITH PROMINENT MULTI-NATIONAL CORPORATIONS), WHICH WORKS TO IDENTIFY SCIENTIFIC OPPORTUNITIES AND TO SECURE FUNDING, AS WELL AS TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT NON-ANIMAL ALTERNATIVES. THE HSUS COLLABORATES WITH THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY THROUGH ALTTOX.ORG AND BIOMED21.ORG, WEBSITES THAT PROVIDE SCIENTIFIC AND POLICY UPDATES REGARDING ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES TO USING ANIMALS FOR TOXICITY TESTING AND BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH. THE PROTECTION AND PROMPT RETIREMENT OF CHIMPANZEES ONCE USED IN RESEARCH IS A CONTINUING PRIORITY. IN VARIOUS STATES, THE HSUS ALSO WORKED ON PUBLIC POLICY REFORM RELATED TO THE USE OF DOGS AND CATS IN RESEARCH, INCLUDING ADOPTION AFTER THEIR TIME IN THE LABORATORY. FARM ANIMALS: IN RHODE ISLAND, THE HSUS SUCCESSFULLY CAMPAIGNED FOR A BILL TO BAN BATTERY CAGE CONFINEMENT OF EGG-LAYING HENS. IN IOWA, IT LED A PRESSURE CAMPAIGN TO WEAKEN A BIZARRE MEASURE THAT REQUIRED GROCERY STORES TO SELL AT LEAST SOME EGGS FROM CAGED HENS. IN MISSISSIPPI, THE HSUS HELPED TO THWART A DANGEROUS AG-GAG MEASURE. IN OREGON, THE HSUS HELPED TO PERSUADE THE STATE TO REVOKE AN OPERATIONS PERMIT FOR A MEGA-DAIRY. WILDLIFE: THE HSUS PUSHED BACK AGAINST USDA POLICIES THAT HAVE LED TO A SHARP DECLINE IN ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AGAINST ROADSIDE ZOOS AND OTHER PROBLEM EXHIBITORS. IN 2018, THE HSUS SUCCEEDED IN PREVENTING THE AGENCY FROM IMPLEMENTING THIRD-PARTY INSPECTIONS INVOLVING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. THE DIVISION ALSO FOUGHT AGAINST INITIATIVES TO EXPAND THE POSSIBILITIES FOR PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OF EXOTIC ANIMALS AND WORKED ON A NUMBER OF CAMPAIGNS TO END PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OF WILD EXOTICS AND THEIR DISPLAY IN CAPTIVE EXHIBITION AND TRAVELING SHOWS. THE HSUS'S THIRTY-YEAR EFFORT TO PROTECT DOLPHINS FROM FISHING FLEETS THAT TARGET AND OFTEN KILL THEM TO CATCH THE TUNA THAT SWIM BELOW THEM HAS SUCCEEDED. IN 2018, THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION UPHELD A PRIOR PANEL RULING THAT FOUND THAT THE U.S. AMENDMENTS TO ITS DOLPHIN-SAFE LABELING REGIME BROUGHT IT INTO COMPLIANCE WITH WTO RULES. THE WILDLIFE DIVISION WORKED HARD TO PROTECT GRIZZLY BEARS UNDER THREAT OF REMOVAL FROM THE ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST, AND HELPED TO DEFEAT MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO REMOVE FEDERAL PROTECTIONS FOR WOLVES IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION. IT DEFEATED BIDS TO EXPAND HUNTING OF BEARS IN CONNECTICUT AND NEW JERSEY, AND STOPPED PROPOSALS IN OHIO AND INDIANA TO KILL BOBCATS. THE HSUS CONTINUED TO PARTNER WITH WILD NEIGHBOR COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING TRAININGS AND RESOURCES TO HELP THEM HUMANELY ADDRESS WILDLIFE CONFLICTS. ANIMAL PROTECTION LITIGATION: THE SECTION CARRIES OUT PRECEDENT-SETTING LEGAL WORK ON BEHALF OF ANIMALS IN STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCIES, RESEARCHING, PREPARING, AND PROSECUTING LAWSUITS, MAINLY IN AREAS COVERED BY SEVEN CORE GROUPS: FARM ANIMALS, COMPANION ANIMALS, WILDLIFE AND RESEARCH, ANIMAL MARKETING PROGRAMS, ANIMAL CRIMES, CONSTITUTIONAL AND POLICY DEFENSE, AND LEGISLATION.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d DESCRIPTION OF OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES CORPORATE POLICY, ENCOMPASSING SUCH ACTIVITIES AS EXPANDING THE SCOPE OF CORPORATE POLICIES CONCERNING THE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS, URGING CONSUMERS TO MODIFY THEIR SPENDING AND LIFESTYLE HABITS, AND PERSUADING THOUGHT LEADERS IN THE CORPORATE AND OTHER SECTORS TO ALLY THEMSELVES WITH HUMANE VALUES, ARE IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF THE HSUS'S WORK. FARM ANIMAL PROTECTION: THE FARM ANIMAL PROTECTION CAMPAIGN WORKS WITH CONSUMERS, CORPORATIONS, AND POLICY MAKERS TO SPUR REFORM IN THE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS RAISED FOR FOOD. THE HSUS SUPPORTS HUMANE FARMERS AND HUMANE, SUSTAINABLE FARMING PRACTICES, AND ENCOURAGES THE PUBLIC TO FOLLOW THE 3 R'S, I.E., REDUCTION IN CONSUMPTION OF ANIMAL PRODUCTS; REFINEMENT, BY WORKING FOR REFORMS IN THE WAYS IN WHICH ANIMALS ARE RAISED AND TREATED, AND ENCOURAGING CONSUMERS TO CHOOSE PRODUCTS NOT DERIVED FROM FACTORY FARMING; AND REPLACEMENT, THE INCORPORATION OF PLANT FOODS INTO THE DIET. IN 2018, THE HSUS'S FARM ANIMAL PROTECTION WORK INCLUDED SUCCESS IN PERSUADING EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, RESTAURANT CHAINS, AND CORPORATIONS TO IMPROVE ANIMAL WELFARE PURCHASING POLICIES IN RELATION TO CRATE-FREE PORK, CAGE-FREE EGGS, AND OTHER ANIMAL PRODUCTS. THE HSUS COOPERATED WITH FOOD RETAILERS, INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS, HUMANE-MINDED FARMERS, AND OTHERS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THE HSUS'S PRIVATE SECTOR OUTREACH DURING THE YEAR INSPIRED FOOD INDUSTRY COMPANIES TO ANNOUNCE TIMELINES FOR ELIMINATING BATTERY CAGES FROM THEIR SUPPLY CHAINS BY SWITCHING TO 100 PERCENT CAGE-FREE EGGS. THE HSUS ALSO ACHIEVED IMPORTANT CORPORATE POLICY WINS FOR BROILER CHICKENS -- THOSE RAISED FOR MEAT -- THROUGH ITS NINE BILLION LIVES CAMPAIGN. UNDER THE HSUS'S INFLUENCE, MAJOR COMPANIES, INCLUDING ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE LINES, ACCOR HOTELS, AND BRUEGGER'S BAGELS, ANNOUNCED COMPREHENSIVE REFORMS FOR THEIR CHICKEN SUPPLY CHAINS. THESE INCLUDED MANDATES THAT SUPPLIERS SWITCH TO HEALTHIER BREEDS, GIVE ANIMALS MORE ROOM, PROVIDE ENRICHMENT THAT ALLOW THEM TO ENGAGE IN THEIR NATURAL BEHAVIORS, AND TRANSITION TO MORE MODERN SLAUGHTER SYSTEMS. THE HSUS HOSTED A SERIES OF "FOOD FORWARD" EVENTS IN THE US AND CANADA, TRAINING MORE THAN 3,533 FOOD SERVICE PROFESSIONALS IN 132 PLANT-BASED CULINARY TRAINING SESSIONS, ON IMPLEMENTATION OF PROGRAMS LIKE MEATLESS MONDAY TO REDUCE THE SUFFERING OF ANIMALS ON FACTORY FARMS. HSUS STAFF MEMBERS SECURED NEARLY 100 MEAT REDUCTION POLICIES WITHIN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING AND SCHOOL SYSTEMS. THE HSUS FORGED MAJOR PARTNERSHIPS WITH FOOD SERVICE COMPANIES SODEXO AND FRESH IDEAS. WILDLIFE PROTECTION: THE HSUS MADE MAJOR STRIDES AGAINST THE FUR TRADE, AS SAN FRANCISCO AND LOS ANGELES VOTED TO BAN THE SALE OF FUR WITHIN CITY LIMITS. COACH, BURBERRY, DONNA KAREN/DKNY, VERSACE, FURLA, BOTTEGA VENETA, NICHOLAS K., TJ MAXX/MARSHALLS AND FARFETCH.COM ALL ANNOUNCED FUR-FREE POLICIES. CHANEL BANNED NOT JUST FUR BUT EXOTIC SKINS. DIANE VON FURSTENBERG AND COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR BANNED ANGORA AND MOHAIR. LONDON FASHION WEEK ANNOUNCED ITS COMMITMENT TO FUR-FREE, AND INSTYLE MAGAZINE ANNOUNCED A FUR-FREE POLICY, EXTENDING TO EDITORIALS, PHOTOS AND ADVERTISEMENTS. LINDEN STAUB BECAME THE FIRST MODELING AGENCY TO REFUSE TO SEND ITS MODELS TO SHOOTS OR RUNWAY SHOW WHERE THEY ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR FUR. PET STORE CONVERSIONS: THE CAMPAIGN ALSO ASSISTS PET STORES WILLING TO CONVERT TO OFFERING RESCUED PUPPIES FROM LOCAL SHELTERS INSTEAD OF SELLING DOGS FROM PUPPY MILLS, BY BUILDING BRIDGES WITH LOCAL SHELTERS AND FACILITATING TRANSPORT OF RESCUED DOGS. AS OF THE END OF 2018, MORE THAN 16,500 SHELTER DOGS AND PUPPIES HAD BEEN SAVED AS A RESULT OF THESE EFFORTS.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4a EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 4A (2 OF 4) CAT PROTECTION AND POLICY: THE CAT PROTECTION AND POLICY PROGRAM WORKS TO ELEVATE THE STATUS AND IMPROVE THE WELFARE OF CATS. THROUGH EFFORTS TO ENSURE HUMANE ACQUISITION OF CATS, KEEP CATS IN LOVING HOMES, AND HUMANELY AND EFFECTIVELY MANAGE OUTDOOR CAT POPULATIONS, THE PROGRAM SEEKS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF UNOWNED CATS AND INCREASE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR CATS. THE HSUS WORKS TO REDUCE SHELTER INTAKE AND EUTHANASIA OF CATS, AND TO ENCOURAGE THE ANIMAL CARE FIELD TO EMBRACE PRO-ACTIVE, EFFECTIVE TRAP/NEUTER/RETURN PROGRAMS FOR FERAL AND STRAY CATS. THE HSUS ADVANCES ITS CAT PROTECTION AGENDA WITH SUCH RESOURCES AS PUBLISHED GUIDES, ONLINE COURSES; ARCHIVED WEBINARS; AND ONE-ON-ONE SUPPORT FOR PROFESSIONALS AND VOLUNTEERS. IN 2018, STAFF MEMBERS LED "RETHINKING THE CAT" SYMPOSIA IN TWO CITIES, WITH OVER 100 PARTICIPANTS. THE HSUS SPEARHEADED THE LAUNCH OF THE DC CAT COUNT, A COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH PROJECT ON IMPROVING EFFECTIVENESS OF HUMANE CAT MANAGEMENT. ADOPTERS WELCOME: THE "ADOPTERS WELCOME" PROGRAM CHALLENGES SHELTERS AND RESCUES TO RETHINK WHAT THEY KNOW ABOUT ANIMAL ADOPTIONS. TRADITIONAL ADOPTION POLICIES WERE DESIGNED TO PREVENT SURRENDERS, AND POTENTIAL ADOPTERS HAD TO PROVE THAT THEY HAD THE RIGHT INCOME, THE RIGHT LIVING SITUATION, AND THE RIGHT REFERENCES. "ADOPTERS WELCOME" INTRODUCES A FACT-BASED ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL SCREENING, MAKING ADOPTION A VIABLE OPTION FOR MORE PEOPLE, AND RAISING ADOPTION RATES. THE SHELTER PET PROJECT: A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE HSUS, THE AD COUNCIL AND MADDIE'S FUND, THE SHELTER PET PROJECT PRODUCES GAME-CHANGING TELEVISION, PRINT, RADIO, ONLINE AND OUTDOOR ADVERTISEMENTS TO PROMOTE ADOPTION OF SHELTER PETS NATIONWIDE AND TO REDUCE THE EUTHANASIA OF HEALTHY ANIMALS. IN 2018, THE SHELTER PET PROJECT PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS RAN MORE THAN 597,000 TIMES IN PRINT, RADIO, TELEVISION, INTERACTIVE AND OUT-OF-HOME ADVERTISING, HELPING TO DRIVE MORE THAN 700,000 ONLINE SEARCHES FOR PETS AND LOCAL PET ADOPTION GROUPS-AN INCREASE OF 40% OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THE TOTAL DONATED REVENUE (PRELIMINARY DATA) WAS MORE THAN $29 MILLION. SINCE THE CAMPAIGN'S LAUNCH IN 2009, THE ANNOUNCEMENTS HAVE RUN MORE THAN 8.7M MILLION TIMES ($379 MILLION IN FREE ADVERTISING), AND THE CAMPAIGN IS EXPECTED TO GENERATE AN ADDITIONAL $35 MILLION IN FUTURE ADVERTISING IN 2019. SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2009, THE SHELTER PET PROJECT HAS PLAYED A LARGE PART IN DRIVING DOWN THE NUMBER OF PETS EUTHANIZED IN SHELTERS. SOME THREE TO FOUR MILLION SHELTER PETS GET ADOPTED EACH YEAR, WHICH MEANS THAT JUST 44 PERCENT OF DOGS AND 47 PERCENT OF CATS IN AMERICAN HOMES WERE ADOPTED FROM SHELTERS OR RESCUE GROUPS. IN 2018, THE SHELTER PET PROJECT RANKED SEVENTH IN DONATED MEDIA AMONG CURRENT AD COUNCIL CAMPAIGNS. THE CAMPAIGN PARTNERED WITH FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, AMAZON, SONY'S A DOGS WAY HOME AND SCREENVISION, AMONG OTHER MEDIA PARTNERS, TO MAXIMIZE REACH AND EFFECTIVENESS. THE COMPANION ANIMALS DIVISION WORKED WITH THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS TO SUPPORT VETERANS' WELL-BEING AND SOCIAL INTEGRATION THROUGH INTERACTIONS WITH AND ADOPTION OF RESCUED ANIMALS FOR PETS. WHILE MUCH OF THE HSUS'S WORK TARGETS THE UNDERLYING CAUSES OF PET HOMELESSNESS AND SUFFERING, THE ORGANIZATION ALSO SEEKS TO HELP SHELTERS IMPROVE THEIR PROGRAMS FOR ANIMALS AND SAVE THE LIVES OF PETS AT RISK OF LOSING THEIR HOMES, FOR WHATEVER REASON. THE HSUS'S SHELTER AND RESCUE SERVICES TEAM PROVIDES EXPERT ADVICE, GUIDANCE AND TRAINING ON OPERATIONS, STANDARDS, AND BEST PRACTICES TO SHELTERS AND RESCUE GROUPS ACROSS THE NATION. ANIMAL SHELTERING, A MAGAZINE, OFFERS BIMONTHLY, FULL-COLOR, BROAD-REACHING COVERAGE OF THE LATEST LOCAL, NATIONAL, AND GLOBAL NEWS ABOUT ANIMALS; ANALYSIS OF TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FIELD; INSPIRATION AND ADVICE FROM LEADERS; AND INFORMATION ON TRAINING AND NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES. ANIMAL SHELTERING IS SENT TO HUMANE SOCIETY DIRECTORS, MUNICIPAL ANIMAL CONTROL PERSONNEL, RESCUERS, SHELTER WORKERS, VOLUNTEERS, WILDLIFE REHABILITATION SPECIALISTS, VETERINARIANS, AND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS. THE HSUS'S WEBSITE, ANIMALSHELTERING.ORG, IS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE ONLINE RESOURCE IN THE ANIMAL WELFARE FIELD. THE SITE FEATURES A LIBRARY OF ARTICLES, GUIDELINES, AND TRAINING INFORMATION ON TOPICS FROM ADOPTION TO ZOONOTIC DISEASE CONTROL; A POPULAR JOB SEARCH ENGINE FOR POSITIONS IN ANIMAL CARE AND SERVICES; A SHARED TRAINING AND EVENTS CALENDAR FOR THE HUMANE MOVEMENT; AND AN ARCHIVE OF BACK ISSUES OF OUR MAGAZINE, ANIMAL SHELTERING. EQUINE PROTECTION: THE EQUINE PROTECTION DIVISION EDUCATES THE PUBLIC ABOUT RESPONSIBLE HORSE OWNERSHIP AND CARE; CONFRONTS CRUELTY, NEGLECT, AND OTHER FORMS OF MISTREATMENT OF HORSES; OPPOSES HORSE SORING IN THE TENNESSEE WALKING HORSE INDUSTRY; CAMPAIGNS AGAINST HORSE SLAUGHTER AND THE SHIPMENT OF AMERICAN HORSES TO SLAUGHTER PLANTS ELSEWHERE; ADVOCATES FOR THE PROHIBITION OF RACE-DAY MEDICATIONS; AND SUPPORTS THE PROFESSIONALIZATION OF HORSE RESCUE THROUGH EQUINE SANCTUARIES, TRAINING AND OTHER MEANS.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4a EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 4A (3 OF 4) ANIMAL RESEARCH ISSUES: THE ANIMAL RESEARCH ISSUES DIVISION WORKS TO MINIMIZE AND END HARM TO ANIMALS IN RESEARCH, TESTING, AND EDUCATION, THROUGH POLICY EFFORTS; COLLABORATION WITH SCIENTISTS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS; AND PUBLIC AND INSTITUTIONAL OUTREACH. WILDLIFE PROTECTION: THE HSUS WILDLIFE PROTECTION DIVISION WORKS TO PROTECT AND DEFEND WILD ANIMALS FROM BASIC CRUELTY OR OTHER THREATS TO THEIR WELFARE AND SURVIVAL. THE DIVISION WORKS ON ISSUES RELATING TO CHARISMATIC MEGAFAUNA; WILDLIFE CONFLICT RESOLUTION; URBAN WILDLIFE; PRINCIPLES OF HUMANE CONSERVATION ; LAND ACQUISITION AND PRESERVATION; EXOTIC PET OWNERSHIP; INVASIVE SPECIES; AND CLIMATE CHANGE AND ASSOCIATED ANTHROPOGENIC IMPACTS. THE SECTION PROMOTES HUMANE WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND THOSE THAT PRESERVE BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY; ADVOCATES FOR RESPONSIBLE, HUMANE APPROACHES TO THE CONSERVATION OF THREATENED, ENDANGERED, AND OTHER SPECIES; PROMOTES THE PROTECTION AND HUMANE TREATMENT OF ALL WILDLIFE -- CAPTIVE AND FREE; SUPPORTS THE PROTECTION OF QUALITY WILDLIFE HABITAT; AND SEEKS TO FOSTER RESPECT AND APPRECIATION FOR WILD ANIMALS AND NATURE. THE SECTION PROVIDES SCIENTIFIC AND POLICY ANALYSES CONCERNING WILDLIFE AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLANS, AND WILDLIFE DAMAGE CONTROL INITIATIVES; FOCUSES ON MISTREATMENT OF WILD ANIMALS IN CAPTIVE SETTINGS, INCLUDING ZOOS, ROADSIDE EXHIBITS, AQUARIA, AUCTIONS, THE EXOTIC MEAT INDUSTRY, AND CANNED HUNTS; CAMPAIGNS AGAINST TROPHY HUNTING, TRAPPING, THE FUR TRADE, AND CALLOUS KILLING OF ANIMALS FOR RECREATIONAL AND COMMERCIAL PURPOSES; PROMOTES THE IMPLEMENTATION OF WILDLIFE CONTRACEPTION TECHNIQUES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF MULTIPLE SPECIES; CARRIES OUT INITIATIVES TO PROTECT WHALES AND OTHER MARINE MAMMALS; DISCOURAGES THE KEEPING OF WILD ANIMALS AS PETS; AND WORKS TOWARD SOLUTIONS FOR THE CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH FREE-ROAMING CAT POPULATIONS. IN ADDITION, THE SECTION SEEKS TO HARMONIZE HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS WITH WILD ANIMALS LIVING IN OR NEAR HUMAN COMMUNITIES, HELPING PEOPLE TO ADDRESS CONFLICTS THROUGH HUMANE, EFFECTIVE APPROACHES. IT ALSO CAMPAIGNS AGAINST PHEASANT STOCKING, FOX PENNING, DOVE SHOOTING, AND REMOTE HUNTING. WITH THE BOTSTIBER INSTITUTE FOR WILDLIFE FERTILITY CONTROL, THE WILDLIFE DIVISION ENGAGES SCIENTISTS, VETERINARIANS, MANAGERS, POLICY-MAKERS AND ADVOCATES FROM A RANGE OF DISCIPLINES IN DISCUSSIONS OF WILDLIFE FERTILITY CONTROL. HUMANE SOCIETY INSTITUTE FOR SCIENCE AND POLICY (HSISP): HSISP INTEGRATES ANIMAL WELFARE SCIENCE INTO PUBLIC POLICY AND OTHER CONTEXTS. HSISP FOCUSES THE ENERGY AND EXPERTISE OF HSUS SCIENTISTS AND OTHER SPECIALISTS ON THE MOST URGENT PUBLIC POLICY QUESTIONS AFFECTING ANIMALS WORLDWIDE, VIA CONFERENCES, CONSULTATIONS, PUBLIC EXCHANGES AND MORE. HSISP OPERATES THE ANIMAL STUDIES REPOSITORY -- AN OPEN ACCESS, CURATED COLLECTION OF DIGITAL MATERIALS -- TO FACILITATE ACCESS TO USEFUL DOCUMENTS FOR A BROAD AUDIENCE. HSISP ALSO PRODUCES ANIMAL SENTIENCE: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL ON ANIMAL FEELING, AN OPEN PEER COMMENTARY JOURNAL THAT PUBLISHES CURRENT EMPIRICAL FINDINGS ON WHAT, WHEN AND HOW NONHUMAN ANIMALS FEEL, ALONG WITH THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS. USERS HAVE DOWNLOADED DOCUMENTS FROM THE REPOSITORY NEARLY 750,000 TIMES, AND ARTICLES FROM ANIMAL SENTIENCE WERE DOWNLOADED 70,000 TIMES DURING THE FIRST 24 MONTHS FOLLOWING LAUNCH. FAITH OUTREACH: THE FAITH OUTREACH PROGRAM ENGAGES PEOPLE AND INSTITUTIONS OF FAITH WITH ANIMAL PROTECTION ISSUES. THE PROGRAM SUPPORTS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THROUGH ITS TOOL KITS, "FILL THE BOWL PROJECT"; "EATING MERCIFULLY," "ST. FRANCIS IN A BOX"; AND "HUMANE BACKYARD." OVER 2,100 OF THESE TOOL KITS WERE ORDERED IN 2018. THE PROGRAM MANAGES MORE THAN 700 FAITH OUTREACH VOLUNTEER AND ALLIES. THIS GRASSROOTS NETWORK WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE THAN 1,500 ACTIONS INCLUDING FILM SCREENINGS, COLLECTION DRIVES, AND PUBLISHED MEDIA AND ENDORSEMENTS. THE PROGRAM PROVIDED ASSISTANCE FOR HSUS CAMPAIGNS AND PUBLIC POLICY PRIORITIES BY FACILITATING SUPPORT FROM FAITH LEADERS AND FROM SEVERAL HSUS FAITH COUNCILS. LAW ENFORCEMENT OUTREACH: IN 2018, THE HSUS HOSTED 89 SEMINARS, TRAINING 2,880 LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND PROSECUTORS FROM MORE THAN 1,360 AGENCIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE DIVISION ALSO HELD ITS FIRST SERIES OF TRAININGS FOR AN ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4c PUBLIC POLICY AND ENFORCEMENT (CONTINUED) CONTINUED FROM PART III, 4C (2 OF 4) SINCE 2005, APL HAS FILED NEARLY 200 LEGAL ACTIONS; SECURED WELL OVER 150 FAVORABLE RULINGS FOR ANIMALS IN STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS; AND WON MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN JUDGMENTS, SETTLEMENTS, AND ATTORNEYS' FEES FROM A RANGE OF PARTIES. APL ALSO DRAFTS ANIMAL PROTECTION LEGISLATION AND DEFENDS AGAINST LAWSUITS SEEKING TO OVERTURN LEGISLATIVE GAINS FOR ANIMALS SECURED BY THE HSUS AND OTHER GROUPS. APL LEVERAGES THE IMPACT OF ITS WORK BY COOPERATING CLOSELY WITH PRO BONO LAWYERS THROUGHOUT THE NATION. IN 2018, APL WON A NUMBER OF SIGNIFICANT CASES. AFTER NOTIFYING THE WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE OF ITS LEGAL VIOLATIONS REGARDING THE STATE'S TIMBER DAMAGE BLACK BEAR REMOVAL PROGRAM, THE AGENCY AGREED TO MODIFY ITS APPROACH. APL SETTLED ITS ESA CASE WITH THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE REQUIRING THAT THE AGENCY COMPLETE AN ASSESSMENT OF COMMON PREDATOR POISONS THAT ENDANGER NON-TARGET SPECIES. APL SUCCESSFULLY CHALLENGED THE ISSUANCE OF 131 PERMITS BY THE HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES WHICH AUTHORIZED THE COLLECTION OF OVER A QUARTER OF A MILLION FISH - A PRACTICE DESTRUCTIVE TO DELICATE CORAL REEFS. APL PREVENTED THE TRANSFER OF FEMALE GRIZZLY BEAR HUNTING RIGHTS FROM MONTANA TO WYOMING, ULTIMATELY REDUCING THE NUMBER OF BEARS HUNTED BY HALF. A JUDGE IN THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF OREGON RULED IN FAVOR OF THE HSUS ALLOWING THE REGISTRATION OF THE DRUG, ZONOSTAT-H, FOR WILD HORSE AND BURRO FERTILITY CONTROL. THE CALIFORNIA COURT OF APPEALS UPHELD A CALIFORNIA IVORY BAN RECOGNIZING THAT A STATE MAY CONSTITUTIONALLY CONSERVE WILDLIFE BY CLOSING ITS MARKETS TO IVORY PRODUCTS. RESPONDING TO AN APL PETITION, THE HAWAII BOARD OF AGRICULTURE ADOPTED A REGULATION PROHIBITING THE ISSUANCE OF PERMITS TO BRING DANGEROUS WILD ANIMALS INTO THE STATE FOR TRAVELING EXHIBITIONS. CONCEDING TO OBJECTIONS FROM APL, THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE ABANDONED ITS PLANS TO OPEN A BLACK BEAR BOW-HUNTING SEASON IN A MONTANA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE WHERE FEDERALLY PROTECTED GRIZZLY BEARS ALSO RESIDE. A FEDERAL JUDGE IN MONTANA PROHIBITED WYOMING AND IDAHO FROM OPENING HUNTING SEASONS ON GRIZZLY BEARS AND REESTABLISHED FEDERAL ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT PROTECTION IN YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK. THE 8TH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS AFFIRMED THE LOWER COURT'S OPINION THAT CRICKET HOLLOW ZOO (A ROADSIDE ZOO IN IOWA) VIOLATED THE ESA IN ITS TREATMENT OF ENDANGERED LEMURS AND TIGERS; THE COURT DENIED THE DEFENDANT'S ARGUMENT THAT BEING AN AWA-LICENSED ENTITY CREATES IMMUNITY FROM PROTECTIONS AFFORDED BY THE ACT. FOR COMPANION ANIMALS, APL ASSISTED THE CITY OF TEXARKANA, TEXAS WITH A CIVIL FORFEITURE HEARING FOR 27 FRENCH BULLDOG PUPPIES DISCOVERED IN A CARGO CONTAINER SUFFERING FROM HEAT EXHAUSTION AND DEHYDRATION. APL ALSO ASSISTED THE HOUSTON COUNTY, ALABAMA PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE IN CONVICTING A MAN ON SIX COUNTS OF FELONY ANIMAL CRUELTY AND ONE MISDEMEANOR. THREE YEARS AGO, THE HSUS AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES RESCUED APPROXIMATELY 65 DOGS IN NEED OF URGENT CARE FROM HIS PROPERTY AND PROVIDED EMERGENCY SHELTER, CARE AND REHABILITATION FOR THE DOGS. APL WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN DRAFTING A TRAINING HANDBOOK FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT, ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICERS, HUMANE OFFICERS AND CRUELTY INVESTIGATORS WHICH COVERED ILLEGAL ANIMAL ABUSE AND NEGLECT, APPLICABLE STATE LAWS, INVESTIGATIVE TECHNIQUES AND INTERVENTIONS. APL ASSISTED THE CABBARRUS COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER WITH A BONDING/COST OF CARE PETITION FOR 15 DOGS SEIZED FROM A DOG FIGHTING OPERATION. FOR FARM ANIMALS THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA RULED IN FAVOR OF THE HSUS AND ENJOINED THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FROM UNLAWFULLY SENDING MORE THAN $20 MILLION TO THE PORK INDUSTRY'S LARGEST LOBBYING GROUP, THE NATIONAL PORK PRODUCERS COUNCIL. AN OREGON STATE MEGA-DAIRY HAD ITS PERMIT REVOKED BY THE OREGON DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND CAN NO LONGER OPERATE IN THE STATE.

INVESTIGATIONS: CONSISTENT WITH ITS FOUNDERS' VISION, HSUS CONDUCTED SEVERAL UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATIONS DURING 2018. WILD ANIMAL KILLING CONTESTS: TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THESE CRUEL AND WASTEFUL COMPETITIONS, HSUS INVESTIGATORS WENT TO TWO OF THEM WITH UNDERCOVER CAMERAS: BOTH WERE FOX AND COYOTE KILLING CONTESTS, ONE IN NEW YORK AND THE OTHER IN NEW JERSEY. HSUS UNDERCOVER VIDEO REVEALED PILES OF DEAD ANIMALS- ABOUT 200 OR SO ANIMALS WERE KILLED IN THE NY CONTEST ALONE, AS COMPETITORS DRANK AND CELEBRATED. AFTER A VIDEO OF THE TWO CONTESTS WAS RELEASED NATIONALLY, THE STATE OF VERMONT BANNED COYOTE-KILLING CONTESTS, AND THE ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO CITY COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY PASSED A RESOLUTION CONDEMNING WILDLIFE KILLING CONTESTS AND CALLING FOR A STATEWIDE BAN. GIRAFFE PARTS FOR SALE IN THE U.S: TO SHED LIGHT ON THE DRAMATIC DROP IN GIRAFFE POPULATIONS AND THE PART AMERICANS PLAY IN SUCH DECLINE, HSUS INVESTIGATORS SCRUTINIZED MORE THAN 50 U.S. BUSINESSES SELLING GIRAFFE-LEATHER BOOTS, GIRAFFE-HIDE RUGS AND FURNITURE, GIRAFFE-BONE KNIFE HANDLES, GIRAFFE TAXIDERMY, AND MORE. INVESTIGATORS VISITED 21 GIRAFFE-PARTS SELLERS, INCLUDING SEVERAL VENDORS AT THE ANNUAL DALLAS SAFARI CLUB CONVENTION.

PETLAND: PETLAND, THE LARGEST PUPPY-SELLING RETAIL STORE IN THE NATION, WAS THE SUBJECT OF AN HSUS UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION IN 2018. AT MULTIPLE LOCATIONS, INVESTIGATORS FOUND ANIMALS IN POOR CONDITION AND SUFFERING WITHOUT PROPER VETERINARY CARE. PUPPY MILLS CAMPAIGN: THE PUPPY MILLS CAMPAIGN HELPS TO RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATE PROBLEM PUPPY MILLS, OFTEN LEADING TO PUPPY MILL CLOSURES AND RESCUES, AS WELL AS SUPPORTING STRONGER PUBLIC POLICIES TO HELP ENSURE HUMANE CARE AT BREEDING OPERATIONS. THE CAMPAIGN CELEBRATED ITS 2018 PUPPY MILL ACTION WEEK NATIONWIDE BY RELEASING ITS SIXTH ANNUAL "HORRIBLE HUNDRED" REPORT DOCUMENTING SPECIFIC PROBLEMS AT 100 PUPPY MILLS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. BY THE END OF THE YEAR, A NUMBER OF BREEDERS LISTED IN THE REPORT HAD CLOSED. ADVOCATES USED THE REPORT TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT BREEDERS SELLING TO PET STORES IN THEIR TOWNS, AND HELPED TO PASS NEW LOCAL ORDINANCES THAT BAN THE SALE OF PUPPIES IN PET STORES. AS OF THE END OF 2018, MORE THAN 290 U.S. MUNICIPALITIES HAD PASSED ORDINANCES TO BAN THE SALE OF PUPPIES IN PET STORES UNLESS THEY COME FROM SHELTERS OR RESCUES. THE CAMPAIGN ALSO RELEASED THE RESULTS OF A TEN-YEAR STUDY OF MORE THAN 5,100 PUPPY BUYER COMPLAINTS RECEIVED BY THE HSUS. THE STUDY EXAMINED THE STATES AND TYPES OF SELLERS THAT RECEIVED THE MOST COMPLAINTS. IN OCTOBER, THE CAMPAIGN HOSTED ITS FIRST ANNUAL PUPPY MILL ACTION BOOT CAMP IN PENNSYLVANIA, ONE OF THE STATES IDENTIFIED AS HAVING A VERY HIGH RATE OF BOTH PET STORE AND BREEDER COMPLAINTS.

THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA, PRESENTED IN THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES (HSUS), INCLUDES THE OPERATIONS OF THE HSUS AND THE FOLLOWING ENTITIES WHOSE MISSIONS ARE DESCRIBED BELOW: THE HUMANE SOCIETY WILDLIFE LAND TRUST EIN # 52-1808517 (HSWLT), FOUNDED IN 1993, PROTECTS WILDLIFE BY PERMANENTLY PRESERVING AND CONNECTING HABITAT. HSWLT PROTECTS A PORTFOLIO OF MORE THAN 116 PERMANENT WILDLIFE SANCTUARIES COMPRISING OVER 20,000 ACRES AND HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE PROTECTION AND CONSERVATION OF HABITAT IN NEARLY 40 STATES AND NINE COUNTRIES. AT THESE SANCTUARIES, RECREATIONAL AND COMMERCIAL HUNTING -- AND A VARIETY OF PRACTICES THREATENING TO ANIMALS AND THEIR HABITAT -- WILL ALWAYS BE PROHIBITED. STAFF MEMBERS WORK WITH LANDOWNERS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING PERMANENT PROTECTION FOR THEIR PROPERTIES AND THE ANIMALS LIVING THERE. SOMETIMES THAT INVOLVES TRANSFERRING THE LAND TO HSWLT. AT OTHER TIMES, IT INVOLVES PERMANENT CONSERVATION AGREEMENTS, OR CONSERVATION EASEMENTS, WHICH ESTABLISH RESTRICTIONS ON HOW THE LAND CAN BE USED TO ENSURE THAT IT WILL ALWAYS BE A SAFE HOME FOR WILDLIFE. HSWLT ALSO WORKS IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND ABROAD TO PROMOTE AND ADVANCE THE PROTECTION OF HABITAT AND WILDLIFE. HSWLT HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN 30 SUCH PROJECTS, INVOLVING TWO MILLION ACRES IN TOTAL. THE FUND FOR ANIMALS EIN #13-6218740, SINCE 2005, IS THE ENTITY RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST HSUS ANIMAL CARE FACILITIES INCLUDING, FOR 2018, THE CLEVELAND AMORY BLACK BEAUTY RANCH (TX), THE DUCHESS SANCTUARY (OR), AND THE FUND FOR ANIMALS WILDLIFE CENTER (CA). THESE FACILITIES FOCUS ON REHABILITATION AND RELEASE, AND OTHER HANDS-ON CARE AND RESCUE OF INJURED, ORPHANED, AND ABANDONED ANIMALS. THEY ALSO PROMOTE THE HUMANE TREATMENT OF ALL ANIMALS AND THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY THROUGH EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY. THE CLEVELAND AMORY BLACK BEAUTY RANCH IN MURCHISON, TEXAS IS A 1,437-ACRE SANCTUARY THAT CARES FOR APPROXIMATELY 1,000 ANIMALS YEAR-ROUND, REPRESENTING MORE THAN 40 SPECIES, RESCUED FROM ABUSE OR ABANDONMENT. ANIMAL RESIDENTS INCLUDE EXOTIC AS WELL AS DOMESTIC SPECIES, E.G., HORSES AND BURROS, CATTLE AND BUFFALO, DEER, PIGS, TORTOISE, TIGERS, CHIMPANZEES, AND OTHER PRIMATE SPECIES. THE DORIS DAY EQUINE CENTER AT BLACK BEAUTY RANCH PROVIDES CARE AND REHABILITATION FOR RESCUED HORSES AND TRAINING THAT SUPPORTS HORSES' PLACEMENT AND ADOPTION WITH NEW FAMILIES. THE 1,120-ACRE DUCHESS SANCTUARY IN OAKLAND, OREGON CARES FOR ABOUT 200 FORMERLY MISTREATED, ABANDONED, AND NEGLECTED HORSES. MARES RESCUED FROM THE PREGNANT MARE URINE (PMU) INDUSTRY AND THEIR OFFSPRING MAKE UP THE MAJORITY. THE FUND FOR ANIMALS WILDLIFE CENTER IN RAMONA, CALIFORNIA IS A 13-ACRE FACILITY WHICH PROVIDES MEDICAL TREATMENT, CARE, AND REHABILITATION OF NATIVE WILDLIFE, AND RELEASES THEM BACK INTO THE WILD. THE CENTER FOCUSES PRIMARILY ON THE REHABILITATION AND RELEASE OF PREDATOR SPECIES NATIVE TO CALIFORNIA, SUCH AS SKUNKS, COYOTES, BOBCATS, EAGLES, HAWKS, AND OWLS.

DDAL WORKS WITH THE U.S. CONGRESS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS, AND OTHER POLICY STAKEHOLDERS TO SECURE THE PASSAGE OF NEW LAWS AND THE ENFORCEMENT OF EXISTING LAWS THAT REDUCE OR ELIMINATE THE SUFFERING OF ANIMALS. IN 2018, DDAL CONTINUED ITS EFFORTS TO GAIN SUPPORT FOR NON-ANIMAL METHODS OF TESTING WITHIN RELEVANT FEDERAL AGENCIES SUCH AS THE EPA AND NIH AND WITHIN INTERNATIONAL BODIES CHARGED WITH REGULATORY RESPONSIBILITY FOR PRODUCT TESTING AND SAFETY. DDAL ALSO SOUGHT TO PRIORITIZE FEDERAL FUNDING FOR NON-ANIMAL TESTING METHODS, IN ITS SUPPORT OF THE HUMANE COSMETICS ACT, AND ITS EFFORTS TO ADVANCE REFORMS OF THE TOXIC SUBSTANCES CONTROL ACT (TSCA), TO REDUCE ANIMAL TESTING FOR CHEMICAL SAFETY EVALUATION, AND PLACE A PRIORITY ON NEWER, MORE COST-EFFECTIVE, AND RELIABLE METHODS.

GENERAL NOTE JOINT COST ALLOCATIONS For many years, HSUS has relied on direct mail, email, telephone and other means of solicitation to recruit, expand and maintain its membership. Direct marketing and other donor channels allow the HSUS to share specific details about recent accomplishments and to provide information about current campaigns and priorities to millions of supporters. The HSUS also uses postal mail -- and other channels -- to educate and to call the public to action to advance its mission and lifesaving work for animals. This is why, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidelines, the HSUS allocates a portion of its direct mail, email, phone and other communication costs to program services and to fundraising. Such costs are allocated to each major program, including - 1) Education and Engagement -- The HSUS reaches tens of millions of people through its website and social media platforms, award-winning videos and magazines, training and educational conferences for animal advocates, national media coverage and more. 2) Public Policy and Enforcement - The HSUS seeks to strengthen legal protections for animals at the local, state and national levels. We defend our victories in court and train thousands of law enforcement officers to investigate and prosecute animal cruelty. 3) Direct Care and Service - The HSUS and its affiliates provide hands-on care for more than 100,000 animals every year, including horses, companion animals and wildlife. We respond to major cruelty cases, save animals from the dog meat trade, take in wild exotics confiscated from irresponsible persons, provide relief to animals during disasters, rescue animals from animal fighting rings, arrange veterinary care and spay/neuter services for pets in underserved communities and much more. 4) Corporate Policy -- We work with the world's biggest food companies, cosmetics manufacturers, fashion brands, and other industry leaders to improve the treatment of animals in their sectors.
