| Form 990, Part I, Line 1 BRIEF MISSION | actions to end the commercial killing of seals for fur, to end commercial whaling, to end shark finning, to end trophy hunting and to promote humane approaches to resolving human-wildlife conflict issues. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Description of other program services | (Expenses $ 2,772,730 including grants of $ 1,624,492)(Revenue $ 0) WILDLIFE HSI wildlife programs cover a wide range of issues from campaigning against the commercial killing of wildlife (Canadian seals, sharks, turtles, whales, rhinos, elephants, trophy hunted species) to ending trade in wildlife and wildlife parts to resolving human-wildlife conflict in a humane manner (e.g., elephants in southern Africa, badgers and rodents in the UK). The HSI wildlife department had the following program accomplishments in 2019: Globally, CITES parties agreed to protect giraffes for the first time by listing the species on Appendix II, which will now regulate the international trade of giraffe parts, such as hides, bones, meat, and trophies. This will provide critical measures to track and trace this trade. Japan agreed to cease selling elephant ivory products on its e-commerce platforms. Their announcement follows an intense ivory trade debate at CITES. In Washington, DC, HSI and The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) released findings of an undercover investigation revealing a lucrative ivory trade in Washington, DC. Legislation has been introduced in the Council of the District of Columbia that would prohibit sales in DC of certain ivory products and products made from rhino horn. In the United Kingdom, Snow + Rock, a major retail chain specializing in outdoor wear with over twenty stores across the UK, adopted a no fur policy, following outreach and conversations with HSI. And Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II announced she is going fur-free. In Vietnam, official approval was received from the Vietnam Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) to include a comprehensive threatened species curriculum (which includes lessons on several threatened species including pangolins, tigers, rhinos, elephants, primates, hornbills, and more) into the national primary school extracurricular lessons. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Description of other program services | (Expenses $ 392,246 including grants of $ 212,065)(Revenue $ 0) Confronting Cruelty HSI responds to disasters around the world by providing rescue efforts, medical equipment/supplies and food. HSI responded to assist animals during the following in 2019: in Malawi and Mozambique, after Cyclone Idai's devastation, HSI provided veterinary care and supplies to dogs, cats, and farm animals. In the Bahamas, HSI provided relief from Hurricane Dorian by assisting with search & rescue of lost/displaced pets, assisting with care of animals that needed medical attention, and assisting with transport of animals that were being cared for at a temporary shelter. In Bolivia, HSI provided veterinary care & helped in reuniting dogs and cats with their families after a major landslide left hundreds of people homeless. In Canada, HSI's staff, along with the Montreal SPCA, rescued more than 200 wild animals from a roadside zoo outside of Quebec. Animals rescued included lions, tigers, zebras, and bears. All animals received care and HSI assisted in placement and transport of the animals. Many animals were transported to partner sanctuaries throughout North America. In Nepal, a mass beheading of 3,500 buffaloes at Nepal's Gadhimai festival took place, but the death toll was a record low, thanks to a crackdown by HSI and other animal groups, and Indian law enforcement. |

| GENERAL NOTE JOINT COST ALLOCATIONS | For many years, Humane Society International (HSI) has relied on direct mail, email, social media and other means of solicitation to recruit, expand and maintain its membership. Direct marketing and other donor channels allow the HSI to share specific details about recent accomplishments and to provide information about current campaigns and priorities to millions of supporters. HSI 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, HSI allocates a portion of its direct mail, email, social media and other communication costs to program services and to fundraising. Such costs are allocated to each major program, including - 1) Companion Animals - HSI's spay/neuter clinics in Latin America, India, Bhutan, the Philippines, Bangladesh, and Nepal have resulted in the sterilization and vaccination of many thousands of dogs and cats. HSI has permanently closed several dog meat farms in South Korea and has rescued and rehomed dogs from these farms. HSI responds to disasters around the world by providing rescue efforts, medical equipment/supplies and food. 2) Wildlife - HSI wildlife programs cover a wide range of issues from campaigning against the commercial killing of wildlife (Canadian seals, sharks, turtles, whales, rhinos, elephants, trophy hunted species) to ending trade in wildlife and wildlife parts to resolving human-wildlife conflict in a humane manner (e.g. elephants in southern Africa, badgers and rodents in the UK). 3) Farm Animals - HSI has obtained commitments from several companies (including hotel chains, hospitality companies and food companies) in multiple countries to source their egg inventories from 100% cage-free egg producers. 4) Confronting Cruelty - HSI works to confront cruelty on multiple fronts. Examples include - HSI/Canada was heavily involved in getting the government of British Columbia (BC) to prohibit all trophy hunting of grizzlies throughout BC. HSI/Mexico was involving in getting legislation passed to ban dogfighting throughout Mexico. India banned the import of reptile skins and fur in a landmark decision that will spare the lives of tens of thousands of animals from the cruel exotic leather industries. 5) Animal Testing - HSI works to end animal testing for medicinal and cosmetic products. |
