If "Yes," describe these changes on Schedule O.
4
Describe the organization’s program service accomplishments for each of its three largest program services, as measured by expenses. Section 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) organizations are required to report the amount of grants and allocations to others, the total expenses, and revenue, if any, for each program service reported.
4a (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 6,429,153 including grants of $ 6,153,236 ) (Revenue $ 139,299 )
(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 2020: in Australia, after the devastation of the wildfires, HSI provided rescue, veterinary care, and supplies to koalas, kangaroos and other animals. In Latin America, HSI provided relief after Hurricane Iota, by assisting with search & rescue of lost/displaced pets, assisting with care of animals that needed medical attention, and assisting with transport of animals. In Lebanon, HSI provided veterinary care & helped in reuniting dogs and cats with their families after a major explosion caused devastation to Beirut and to their citizens and animals.
4b (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 4,896,573 including grants of $ 1,048,309 ) (Revenue $ 106,093 )
(COMPANION ANIMALS) In Korea, HSI has permanently closed 17 dog meat farms since 2014 and has rescued and rehomed over 2,200 dogs from these farms. In India, Mizoram took the first step towards ending its dog meat trade, by amending the law to remove dogs from the definition of animals suitable for slaughter. HSI India was the first organization to work in Mizoram on ending dog meat trade. HSI also sterilized and vaccinated 97% of street dogs in Nainatal. Further in India, Nagaland ended the import, trade and sale of live dogs and dog meat. In China, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs declared that dogs are companions and are not "livestock" for eating. Globally, HSI joined forces with animal protection groups from around the world to urge governments across Asia to act urgently to permanently shut down unsanitary and brutal dog and cat meat markets and trades, amid growing global concern about zoonotic diseases and public health danger zones. Further globally, HSI supplied much-needed food and medical help to companion animals affected by the pandemic.
4c (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 2,967,310 including grants of $ 530,872 ) (Revenue $ 394,291 )
(ANIMAL TESTING) In India, the Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission heeded our demand and abolished the obsolete 'abnormal toxicity test' (ATT) from the country's quality control standards for human vaccines. This move will spare many tens of thousands of animals each year from crude/cruel re-testing of individual batches of vaccine. India is HSI's first win in this arena. Globally, The Developing Countries Vaccine Manufacturers Network signed an MOU with HSI towards the global removal of the ATT for human vaccine regulations worldwide. In Korea, HSI organized and chaired a successful government forum where a new law proposed by HSI would modernize safety testing and human health research and to promote alternatives to animal testing. The director of the Korea Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods confirmed that his institute (under the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety) will be actively supporting this legislation. Further in Korea, a federal biocides law was amended to include a series of animal protective measures developed and pushed by HSI. (CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 4C) Biocides are non-food pesticides, and government testing requirements to bring a single new biocidal chemical to market can involve dozens of separate animal tests, consuming up to 10,000 rodents, fish, birds, rabbits and dogs. In China, there was movement towards ending animal testing for cosmetics by accepting alternatives.
(Code:   ) (Expenses $ 2,564,262 including grants of $ 1,057,214 ) (Revenue $ 55,559 )
(WILDLIFE) HSI wildlife programs cover a wide range of issues from campaigning against the commercial killing of wildlife (Canadian seals, sharks, turtle, 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 2020: Globally, the HSI Wildlife team produced a white paper regarding how Covid-19 and other pandemics are caused by inhumane wildlife trade. In Canada, the seal hunt was canceled for 2020. In the United Kingdom, badger culling will be phased out. In multiple European countries, mink farms were permanently closed and France announced the end of mink fur farming by 2025. Further, Kopenhagen Fur, the world's largest fur auction house, announced they are closing within the next two to three years. In Vietnam, wildlife imports were prohibited and illegal wildlife markets have been closed. In India, a team from HSI Wildlife attended the 13th meeting of the Conference of Parties (CoP) to the Convention for the Conservation of Migratory Species, where they supported new conservation actions for endangered West African chimpanzees and endangered European harbor porpoises. In Africa, three new South African reserves and 27 breeding-age female African elephants were added to immunocontraception program. Further in Africa, HSI provided COVID support to 15 primate sanctuaries across Africa.
(Code:   ) (Expenses $ 2,300,124 including grants of $ 506,796 ) (Revenue $ 49,836 )
(FARM ANIMALS) HSI continued to lead the global movement to end the lifelong confinement of egg-laying hens in battery cages in 2020 by working with companies around the world to adopt cage-free egg procurement policies. Highlights included: in Brazil, AM PM Mini Market, the second largest franchising chain in Brazil, committed to implementing a 100% cage-free supply chain by 2025. They are the first convenience store chain in Brazil to adopt this commitment. Also in Brazil, AB Brasil has committed to going cage-free. In Colombia, Levapan, third largest mayonnaise and baked goods manufacturer in Colombia, committed to going cage-free by 2025 in all seven countries they operate in. In Mexico, TOKS restaurant chain committed to serving 100% cage-free eggs in all its restaurants. Globally, Barilla, the world's largest pasta maker, committed to sourcing eggs exclusively from cage-free suppliers. In India, the Ambala Institute of Hotel Management committed to incorporate animal welfare-friendly practices in its operations by 2022, and will replace 30% of all meat, dairy and egg-based menu items with plant-based options, and it will procure its annual supply of 20,000 eggs exclusively from cage-free producers. Further successes in plant-based practices included: in Canada, Sodexo Canada has partnered with HSI Canada on plant-based foods. And in Brazil, cities are moving to more plant-based procurement, with a focus on implementing plant-based programs in municipal schools. HSI Farm also produced a white paper on the risk of zoonotic disease from intensive animal agriculture.

Return Reference Explanation
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote THE FOLLOWING FOOTNOTE IS FROM THE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES AND AFFILIATES (THE SOCIETY): THE HSUS (THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES), FFA (THE FUND FOR ANIMALS), HSI, HSVMA (HUMANE SOCIETY VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION), SFWC (SOUTH FLORIDA WILDLIFE CENTER), HSWLT (HUMANE SOCIETY WILDLIFE LAND TRUST), AND PC (PROJECT CHIMPS) QUALIFY UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (IRC) AND ARE CLASSIFIED AS ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE NOT PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS. DDAL (DORIS DAY ANIMAL LEAGUE) QUALIFIES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(4) OF THE IRC. THEREFORE, THE SOCIETY IS GENERALLY NOT SUBJECT TO TAX UNDER PRESENT INCOME TAX LAWS; HOWEVER, ANY UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME MAY BE SUBJECT TO FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES. TOTAL UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME TAX FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 was not material to the consolidated financial statements. In accordance with FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes, the Society recognizes tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained upon examination and settlement with various taxing authorities. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are measured based upon the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods. With a few exceptions, the Society is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities for years ended December 31, 2016 and prior. Management has evaluated the Society's tax positions and has concluded that the Society has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the consolidated financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance.

Return Reference Explanation
Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 Arrangement used to establish the top management official's compensation The compensation of Cristobel Block, HSI's top management official, was established by the board of directors of a related organization, The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). Block was appointed as the President and CEO of the HSUS in January of 2019. As part of that process, the HSUS board examined comparability data to guide its determinations regarding Block's compensation. In accordance with the "safe harbor" provisions of Treas. Reg. 53.4958-6, this process involved attention to and avoidance of conflicts of interest, use of comparability data gathered and presented by an outside compensation expert, and contemporaneous documentation of the meetings, deliberations, and decisions of the HSUS board.

Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part I, Line 1 BRIEF MISSION (CONTINUED FROM PART I, LINE 1) Africa, Asia, and Latin America and works to end the dog-meat trade in Asia. HSI advocates for eliminating animal testing for cosmetics and other chemicals and developing non-animal alternatives for biomedical research. HSI campaigns against farm animal suffering, particularly the use of cruel confinement for gestating pigs and egg laying hens, to end the financing of intensive production systems, and to reduce meat consumption globally. HSI campaigns against wildlife abuse and suffering by advocating to eliminate trophy hunting, the commercial killing of seals for fur, commercial whaling, shark finning, and to promote humane approaches to resolving human-wildlife conflict issues. HSI provides on-the-ground relief when disasters strike and collaborates with local, regional, national and international organizations in providing rescue, relief, and evacuation services for animals.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Description of other program services (Expenses $ 2,564,262 including grants of $ 1,057,214)(Revenue $ 55,559) (WILDLIFE) HSI wildlife programs cover a wide range of issues from campaigning against the commercial killing of wildlife (Canadian seals, sharks, turtle, 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 2020: Globally, the HSI Wildlife team produced a white paper regarding how Covid-19 and other pandemics are caused by inhumane wildlife trade. In Canada, the seal hunt was canceled for 2020. In the United Kingdom, badger culling will be phased out. In multiple European countries, mink farms were permanently closed and France announced the end of mink fur farming by 2025.

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.
