Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART III, LINES 1, 4A, 4B AND 4C THE CENTER FOR A HUMANE ECONOMY, INC. HAS A MISSION TO ENCOURAGE CORPORATIONS TO EMBRACE ANIMAL WELFARE AS A CORE PART OF THEIR COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. WE PROMOTE REFORMS IN THEIR PURCHASING PRACTICES, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS, AND OTHER OPERATIONS THAT RECOGNIZE ANIMAL WELFARE IMPERATIVES. THERE ARE COMPANIES IN MORE THAN A DOZEN MAJOR SECTORS OF THE ECONOMY - FROM FOOD AND AGRICULTURE TO FORESTRY AND MINING TO TOURISM AND PHARMACEUTICALS - THAT HAVE VERY SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ON THE LIVES OF ANIMALS. THE CENTER COLLABORATES WITH ANIMAL WELLNESS FOUNDATION, ANIMAL WELLNESS ACTION, SPCA INTERNATIONAL, THE MICHELSON CENTER FOR PUBLIC POLICY, AND A VAST ARRAY OF OTHER ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANIZATIONS, LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, AND OTHER KEY STAKEHOLDERS TO ACCOMPLISH ITS MISSION AND GOALS. THE CENTER ADDRESSES ANIMAL CRUELTY BY EDUCATING CITIZENS AND ACTIVATING THEM, PROMOTING CRUELTY-FREE ALTERNATIVES, PROMOTING ANIMAL WELFARE CORPORATE POLICIES AND DRIVING PUBLIC POLICIES THAT LIFT CORPORATE STANDARDS, INITIATING LAWSUITS AND ENCOURAGING ENFORCEMENT OF OUR LAWS, FORMULATING SCIENCE-BASED ANALYSES OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS THAT CONFRONT ANIMALS, AND DRIVING INVESTIGATIONS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH ANIMALS AND THEN DIAGNOSING SOLUTIONS. OUR APPROACH INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING: BENCHMARKING STANDARDS - DEVELOPING SPECIFIC AND PRACTICAL MEASURES FOR COMPANIES TO TRACK AND NORMALIZE ANIMAL WELFARE PRACTICES INTERNALLY. ASSESSING INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE - ANALYZING BUSINESS PRACTICES ACROSS ANIMAL IMPACT INDUSTRIES AND ISSUING WHITE PAPERS ON THEIR OVERALL PERFORMANCE ON ANIMAL WELFARE. CHAMPIONING ALTERNATIVES - HIGHLIGHTING INNOVATORS AND COMPANIES LEADING THEIR FIELD IN ALTERNATIVES TO ANIMAL USE. EDUCATING CONSUMERS - INSPIRING AND EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ABOUT SIGNIFICANT CORPORATE IMPACTS ON ANIMAL WELFARE. ENGAGING CORPORATIONS - PARTNERING WITH COMPANIES TO TRANSITION FROM HARMFUL TO HUMANE ANIMAL PRACTICES. PROMOTING PUBLIC POLICIES TO INFLUENCE BUSINESSES - SUPPORTING LAWS AND REGULATIONS THAT COMPEL BUSINESSES TO IMPROVE THE WELL-BEING AND REDUCE RISK FACTORS FOR DOMESTICATED AND WILD ANIMALS. CONDUCTING CAMPAIGNS - USING RESEARCH AND PARTNERSHIPS TO LEAD CAMPAIGNS ON A NUMBER OF CORPORATE ANIMAL WELFARE ISSUES. WE EMPLOY OUR CORPORATE ENGAGEMENT PROCESS TO IDENTIFY CORPORATIONS AND INDUSTRIES THAT SHOULD BE PRIORITIZED FOR ENGAGEMENT THROUGH A STRUCTURED APPROACH: ISSUE EVALUATION - PRIORITIZE BASED ON THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS AFFECTED AND THE PERCEIVED LEVEL OF SUFFERING. INDUSTRY SELECTION - "SCORE" COMPANIES BASED ON THEIR ANIMAL WELFARE STATUS AND CATEGORIZE INTO "LAGGARD," "LEADER, AND "AVERAGE." ISSUE RESEARCH - EVALUATE COMPANIES BASED ON POLICIES AND PRACTICES REGARDING ANIMAL WELFARE. ISSUE STATUS - PRIORITIZE COMPANIES AND INDUSTRIES. ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY - ENGAGE "LAGGARDS" THROUGH DIALOGUE AND LETTERS. DURING 2021, THE CENTER WORKED TO DRIVE MAJOR CHANGE FOR DOMESTICATED AND WILD ANIMALS. INITIATIVES INCLUDED: * RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT THE MASS KILLING OF KANGAROOS FOR THE SALE OF THEIR PARTS TO ATHLETIC SHOE COMPANIES AND PET FOOD MANUFACTURERS. * URGING GOVERNMENTS TO TREAT ECO-TOURISM, AND NOT TROPHY HUNTING OF RARE ANIMALS, AS A NATIONAL STRATEGY TO ATTRACT VISITATION AND TO DRIVE GROWTH AND COMMERCE. * ACTING AS A CATALYST TO MOVE GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS AND PRIVATE COMPANIES AWAY FROM THE USE OF ANIMALS IN NEW DRUG DEVELOPMENT IN FAVOR OF INNOVATIVE, NONANIMAL METHODS. * ENDING THE CENTURY-LONG PRACTICE OF GREYHOUND RACING IN THE U.S. * REFORMING HORSE RACING, MAINLY BY ENDING RACE-DAY DOPING AND THE USE OF THE WHIP BY BUSINESSES INVOLVED IN THIS GAMBLING ENTERPRISE. * FIGHTING FACTORY FARMING OF PIGS, CHICKENS, TURKEYS, AND OTHER ANIMALS HELD IN EXTREME CONFINEMENT. * HALTING CRUEL SPECTACLES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, INCLUDING CAPTIVE HUNTING OF FARMED LIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA AND LIVE-WILDLIFE MARKETS. * ENDING MINK FARMING THROUGHOUT THE WORLD BY PROMOTING AWARENESS OF THE MISTREATMENT OF THESE WILD ANIMALS KEPT IN FACTORY-FARM-LIKE HOUSING AND URGING FASHION HOUSES TO STOP PURCHASING FUR FOR THEIR CLOTHING LINES. HERE WE PROVIDE MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON THE CAMPAIGNS SUMMARIZED ABOVE. *MODERNIZE TESTING: THE CENTER BUILT A POWERFUL COALITION OF 150 ORGANIZATIONS TO COMBAT OUTDATED AND INHUMANE GOVERNMENT-MANDATED DRUG TESTING PROTOCOLS WHICH SUBJECT ANIMALS TO UNNEEDED USE AND TORMENT IN LABS. THE U.S FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION REQUIRES THAT DRUGS BE TESTED ON ANIMALS PRIOR TO APPROVAL, AND THE FDA MODERNIZATION ACT THAT WE HELPED TO FORMULATE WILL ELIMINATE THAT MANDATE. THE DATA ON ANIMAL TESTING DEMONSTRATE THAT THESE METHODS ARE NOT PREDICTIVE OF THE HUMAN RESPONSE TO DRUGS - WITH THE ANIMAL TESTS NOT TRANSLATING TO HUMAN CLINICAL TRIALS IN 9 OF 10 CASES. THE CENTER HAS ASSEMBLED INFORMATION FOR KEY STAKEHOLDERS TO REVEAL THAT PRIVATE BUSINESSES MUST INVEST $1 BILLION TO $6 BILLION IN CAPITAL TO BRING A NEW DRUG TO MARKET, WITH THE TIME FRAME DRAGGING FOR AS MANY AS 15 YEARS IN SOME CASES. THIS DRUG DEVELOPMENT PARADIGM IS NOT PROTECTING THE SAFETY OF PATIENTS AND NOT DELIVERING COST-EFFECTIVE DRUGS IN A TIMELY MANNER TO THE PEOPLE WHO NEED THEM. THE CENTER WILL CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE FDA AND PRIVATE BUSINESS TO EMBRACE INNOVATION AND THE BEST SCIENCE IN DOING ITS WORK, SHEDDING ANIMAL TESTING AND APPLYING 21ST-CENTURY TESTING METHODS. *RETHINK MINK: DR. JIM KEEN, D.V.M., PH.D. THE CENTER'S OWN IN-HOUSE INFECTIOUS DISEASE VETERINARY EXPERT AND EPIDEMIOLOGIST, PUBLISHED THE WORLD'S MOST COMPREHENSIVE AND AUTHORITATIVE REPORT ON MINK FARMING AND SARS-COV-2, SHOWING A UNIQUE INCLINATION THAT FACTORY-FARMED MINK HAVE TO SPILL MUTATED VIRUSES TO PEOPLE. ALL FIVE VARIANTS OF NON-HUMAN SOURCES HAVE COME FROM MINK. IT WAS THIS REPORT THAT TRIGGERED THE INTRODUCTION OF BIPARTISAN LEGISLATION IN CONGRESS TO BAN MINK FARMING IN THE U.S. - THE MINKS ARE SUPERSPREADERS ACT. AS HIGHLY AGGRESSIVE AND TERRITORIAL PREDATORS, CAPTIVE MINK OFTEN INJURE, KILL, AND EVEN CANNIBALIZE WEAKER CAGE MATES - A CIRCUMSTANCE THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE STRESS AND CRUELTY THE ANIMALS ENDURE. BECAUSE OF STRESS-RELATED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INFECTIOUS DISEASES (ESPECIALLY RESPIRATORY) FROM CAPTIVITY, INBREEDING TO PRODUCE AN ARRAY OF COAT COLORS, DENSE OVERCROWDING, UNSANITARY CONDITIONS, A POOR-QUALITY DIET OF SLAUGHTERHOUSE OFFAL, MINK ON FARMS ARE HIGHLY VULNERABLE TO THE SPREAD OF SARS-COV-2. THESE MINK FARMS SERVE NO AMERICAN CONSUMERS, AND THE PELTS THEY PRODUCE ARE PRINCIPALLY EXPORTED TO CHINA AND ALSO TO RUSSIA. IN SHORT, WE ALLOW NATIONS THAT ARE OUR POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC ADVERSARIES TO OUTSOURCE THIS CRUELTY AND CONTAGION, AND PUT OUR HOMELAND AT RISK. *KANGAROOS ARE NOT SHOES: THE CENTER HAS BUILT A WORLDWIDE COALITION TO RAISE GLOBAL AWARENESS TO STOP THE TRADE IN KANGAROO SKINS. WITH THEM, WE ARE WORKING TO PROMOTE OUR KANGAROOS ARE NOT SHOES CAMPAIGN TO CONVINCE NIKE, ADIDAS, AND OTHER ATHLETIC SHOE COMPANIES TO HALT THEIR SOURCES OF KANGAROO SKINS FOR SOCCER CLEATS. WE ARE PROMOTING KANGAROO PROTECTION POLICIES WITH THESE CORPORATIONS AND WITH GOVERNMENTS IN THE U.S. AND EUROPE. THE MASS SLAUGHTER OF 2 MILLION KANGAROOS EACH YEAR BY ATHLETIC SHOE MANUFACTURERS IS THE LARGEST SLAUGHTER OF MAMMALS ON OUR PLANET. THE CENTER SPENT 2021 BUILDING A SUCCESSFUL COALITION TO RAISE AWARENESS. WE LAUNCHED A CAMPAIGN IN EUROPE WITH 14 MAJOR EUROPEAN-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO PROMOTE AN EU-WIDE BAN ON KANGAROO PARTS. THE ORGANIZATIONS ARE EACH PROMOTING A 60-SECOND FILM SHOWING, IN REVERSE CHRONOLOGY, HOW A KANGAROO ENDS UP BECOMING PART OF A SHOE IN A SOCCER MATCH. OUR MAJOR INVESTIGATIONS AND ENFORCEMENT WORK CONTINUES IN CALIFORNIA - WHERE KANGAROO SHOES ARE ILLEGAL - TO DRY UP ANY SALES OF KANGAROO-BASED SHOES, IN OUR ATTEMPT TO BIFURCATE THE U.S. MARKET FOR NIKE AND EVENTUALLY TO CLOSE IT ENTIRELY TO SOCCER CLEATS MADE FROM KANGAROOS. OUR EXTENSIVE REPORT ON ILLEGAL SALES OF KANGAROO SKINS, THE PRODUCT OF NEARLY A YEAR-LONG INVESTIGATION, THREW THE CURTAIN BACK ON THIS CONTRABAND IN CALIFORNIA. *CRATES ARE NOT FOR PIGS: THE CENTER CONTINUES TO ENCOURAGE FOOD PRODUCERS TO STOP PURCHASING PORK AND EGGS FROM FARMS THAT USE EXTREME CONFINEMENT THAT BARELY ALLOW BREEDING PIGS AND LAYING HENS TO MOVE MORE THAN A FEW INCHES. ANIMALS ARE SENTIENT BEINGS, AND THIS IS PURE TORTURE PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TO BREATHE LIFE INTO COMMITMENTS FROM DOZENS OF RETAILERS TO ALTER THEIR PURCHASING PRACTICES AND TO SOURCE ONLY EGGS AND PORK FROM FARMS THAT DO NOT SEVERELY CONFINE THE ANIMALS. WHAT'S MORE, WE ARE WORKING IN THE COURTS TO DEFEND PROP 12 IN CALIFORNIA AND AMENDMENT 3 IN MASSACHUSETTS FROM LEGAL ATTACKS BY AGRIBUSINESS TRADE ASSOCIATIONS AND OTHER ACTORS THAT WANT TO SUBVERT THESE VOTES OF THE PEOPLE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINES 1, 4A, 4B AND 4C - CONTINUED *SAVING WOLVES: WITH A REMOVAL OF FEDERAL PROTECTIONS FOR WOLVES IN THE GREAT LAKES AND OTHER REGIONS IN JANUARY 2021, TROPHY HUNTERS, TRAPPERS, AND HOUND HUNTERS KILLED 223 WOLVES IN WISCONSIN WITHIN 48 HOURS, TURNING THE NORTH WOODS INTO KILLING FIELDS. WITH THAT AS BACKDROP, WITH A REPEAT PERFORMANCE HIGHLY LIKELY, THE CENTER LED AND FINANCED A LAWSUIT THAT SHUT DOWN WISCONSIN'S FALL AND WINTER HUNTING SEASON, SPARING THE DIRECT KILLING OF HUNDREDS OF WOLVES AND RESTORING PROTECTIONS FOR WOLVES IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION FROM TROPHY HUNTERS AND TRAPPERS. GOVERNORS IN MICHIGAN AND MINNESOTA DECIDED NOT TO OPEN HUNTING SEASONS AFTER FEDERAL DELISTING WHICH WAS ANOTHER WIN FOR WOLVES. THEY STILL FACED AN ONGOING MASSACRE IN IDAHO AND MONTANA, AND WE HAVE PLEADINGS BEFORE THE INTERIOR SECRETARY TO INTERVENE. THE CENTER NOTES THAT WOLVES DELIVER TREMENDOUS ECONOMIC AND ECOLOGICAL BENEFITS, REDUCING DEER-AUTO COLLISIONS, REDUCING THE SPREAD OF CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE, AND PROTECTING CROPS AND COMMERCIAL FORESTS. BY PROVIDING ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, WOLVES ARE AN ECONOMIC BOON TO STATES, INCLUDING THROUGH WILDLIFE-BASED TOURISM. *BANNING GREYHOUND RACING: THE CENTER CONTINUED TO FOCUS ON PUBLIC AWARENESS WHERE RACING DOGS FACE EXTREME CONFINEMENT UP TO 23 HOURS A DAY, AS WELL AS FREQUENT INJURIES ON THE TRACK. THERE IS NO PLACE FOR GREYHOUND RACING IN A SOCIETY THAT VALUES ANIMALS AS MORE THAN PROPS FOR ENTERTAINMENT. THE CENTER WORKED TO FORMULATE AND INTRODUCE, WITH ITS PARTNERS THE GREYHOUND PROTECTION ACT IN CONGRESS. WE HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGING DELAWARE NORTH, THE LAST MAJOR CORPORATE THAT OPERATES GREYHOUND TRACKS WITHOUT A DEFINITE TIMELINE TO WIND DOWN THEIR OPERATIONS, TO JOIN THE EXODUS FORM THE INDUSTRY AND EXIT THE ENTERPRISE AND PURSUE ITS GAMING OPERATIONS BY NOT MAKING VICTIMS OF ANIMALS. *TOURISM WITHOUT TROPHY HUNTING: THE CENTER WAS ACTIVE ON THE CAMPAIGN IN SOUTH AFRICA TO END TROPHY HUNTING OF CAPTIVE LIONS AND COMMERCIAL CUB PETTING AND IS ECSTATIC THE SOUTH AFRICA IS ON THE CUSP OF PUTTING AN END TO THE DISGRACEFUL SLAUGHTER OF CAPTIVE LIONS FOR THEIR HEADS, BONES, AND TAWDRY CUB PETTING OPERATIONS. THE CENTER HAS ALSO BEEN URGING SOUTH AFRICA TO CHOOSE ECO-TOURISM TO BOLSTER ITS ECONOMY INSTEAD OF EXPLOITING NATIVE WILDLIFE. THERE ARE VASTLY GREATER NUMBERS OF ECOTOURISTS THAN TROPHY HUNTERS, AND THE ECONOMIC POTENTIAL OF NON-CONSUMPTIVE WILDLIFE USE DWARFS THAT OF CONSUMPTIVE USES. A SINGLE ELEPHANT CAN BRING $1.7 MILLION IN VALUE IF HE OR SHE IS KEPT ALIVE, AS COMPARED TO $50,000 OR $100,000 IF THE ANIMAL IS OFFERED UP FOR SHOOTING FOR A TROPHY. *KEEPING HORSES WILD: THE CENTER HAS BEEN FIGHTING THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT'S EFFORTS TO DEPOPULATE WILD HORSES AND BURROS IN THE WEST BY PARTNERING WITH ACTRESS KATHERINE HEIGL ON CALLING FOR A MORATORIUM ON WILD HORSE AND BURRO ROUNDUPS. WE HAVE OFFERED UP A SCIENCE-BASED CRITIQUE OF THE BLM'S MASS ROUNDUPS, AND THEN SUPPLEMENTED THAT WITH AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS SHOWING THE MASSIVE COSTS OF MAINTAINING AND HOLDING MORE THAN 50,000 WILD HORSES IN CAPTIVITY. WE'VE NOTED THE ECONOMIC AND ECOLOGICAL BENEFITS THAT HORSES AND BURROS BRING BY RESTORING GRASSLANDS ECOSYSTEMS. *NO TRAFFICKING OF WILDLIFE: THE CENTER HAS CONDUCTED INVESTIGATIONS AND PUSHED FOR PUBLIC AWARENESS IN THE TRADE IN BEAR PARTS. THOUSANDS OF BEARS IN ASIA ARE CRUELLY CONFINED IN SMALL CAGES WHILE BILE IS EXTRACTED FROM THEIR GALLBLADDERS TO BE USED IN COSMETICS AND CHINESE MEDICINE. IN THE U.S., POACHERS ARE KILLING AMERICAN BEARS FOR THEIR VISCERA, PUTTING THE SPECIES AT RISK AND CAUSING INHUMANE TREATMENT TO SUPPLY THIS ILLICIT MARKET. HERE AGAIN, WE ANNOUNCED SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION IN CONGRESS TO FORBID INTERSTATE TRANSPORT AND IMPORTS AND EXPORTS OF BEAR GALL BLADDERS TO SUPPLY TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE. *END COCKFIGHTING: THE CENTER WAS IN THE THICK OF CASEWORK TO CONVINCE THE FEDERAL COURTS TO AFFIRM THE AUTHORITY OF THE U.S. TO BAN COCKFIGHTING IN THEIR TERRITORIES, ELIMINATING ANY AMBIGUITY ABOUT OUR NATION'S TOTAL BAN ON STAGED ANIMAL FIGHTS. THE U.S. COURT OF APPEALS AFFIRMED THAT COCKFIGHTING IS ILLEGAL IN GUAM AND PUERTO RICO. THE U.S. SUPREME COURT DENIED A CHALLENGE FROM PUERTO RICO'S COCKFIGHTING COMMUNITY AND THE COMMONWEALTH'S POLITICAL LEADERSHIP, CEMENTING THE RULINGS OF THE APPELLATE COURT JUDGE. WITH ITS PARTNERS, ANIMAL WELLNESS ACTION AND THE ANIMAL WELLNESS FOUNDATION, THE CENTER CONDUCTED INVESTIGATIONS AND FOUND LARGESCALE FIGHTING AND TRAFFICKING OPERATIONS OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS FOR FIGHTING ACROSS STATE, TERRITORIAL, AND NATIONAL LINES. WHILE COCKFIGHTERS STAGE ILLEGAL ANIMAL COMBAT THROUGHOUT THE U.S., AMERICA IS ALSO THE COCKFIGHTING BREEDING GROUND TO THE WORLD, WITH MEXICO AND THE PHILIPPINES KEY DESTINATIONS FOR THE TRAFFICKING OF FIGHTING ANIMALS. THE PRESENCE OF COCKFIGHTING IS A DRAG ON THE REPUTATION OF TERRITORIES AND NATIONS, HOLDING BACK DEVELOPMENT AND TOURISM BECAUSE OF THE PRESENCE OF THIS BARBARIC FORM OF COMMERCE AND GAMBLING. WE CONTINUE TO PUSH THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND OTHER FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TO ENFORCE OUR LAWS AGAINST ANIMALS FIGHTING, ESPECIALLY IN THE U.S. TERRITORIES AND MAJOR COCKFIGHTING STATES. *GET THE LEAD OUT OF HUNTING: THE CENTER PUSHED PUBLIC AWARENESS TO BAN THE USE OF LEAD AMMUNITION ON NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGES. PUBLISHED STUDIES DEMONSTRATE THAT LEAD IS A LONG-LASTING TOXIC METAL THAT IS UNSAFE FOR HUMANS AND WILDLIFE, KILLING MILLIONS OF WILD ANIMALS A YEAR, DIMINISHING GAME POPULATIONS, AND PUTTING HUNTING FAMILIES AT RISK. ANIMALS CONSUME SPENT LEAD AMMUNITION OR LEAD FISHING TACKLE BY FORAGING SPENT LEAD SHOT FROM THE GROUND, FEEDING ON THE REMAINS OF LEAD-CONTAMINATED GUT PILES, SCAVENGING THE REMAINS OF ANIMALS SHOT WITH LEAD AMMUNITION AND LEFT BEHIND, OR DIRECTLY INGESTING LEAD SINKERS AND JIGS. OUR SYNTHESIS OF THE OVERWHELMING SCIENCE ON LEAD AMMUNITION KILLING MORE BIRDS AND MAMMALS FROM MORE THAN 125 SPECIES HAS DRAWN THE ATTENTION OF THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE AND THE CONGRESS. STEEL, BISMUTH, COPPER, AND OTHER FORMS OF LESS TOXIC AMMUNITION ARE INCREASINGLY AVAILABLE IN THE MARKETPLACE AND CAN EASILY SUPPLANT LEAD WITH DIRECTIVES TO HUNTERS FROM STATE AND FEDERAL WILDLIFE MANAGERS. *NO BIG CATS AS PETS: THE CENTER CONTINUES TO RAISE AWARENESS AND SUPPORT THE BAN ON COMMERCIAL CUB PETTING IN THE U.S. WHERE MANY ROADSIDE ZOOS EXPLOIT BIG CATS AS PETS. SEVERAL MAJOR CUB PETTING OPERATORS AND EXHIBITORS WERE SHUT DOWN BY FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE BIG CAT PUBLIC SAFETY ACT HAS ~300 COSPONSORS MAKING IT POISED FOR SUCCESS IN 2022. ALLOWING A CONTINUED TRADE IN BIG CATS AS PETS, ALONG WITH COMMERCIAL CUB PETTING OPERATIONS, PRODUCES SURPLUS CATS THAT MUST BE HOUSED AND CARED FOR BY BIG-CAT SANCTUARIES. WE ANALYZED THE DATA TO IDENTIFY THAT IT MAY COST A SANCTUARY AS MUCH AS A $1 MILLION TO TAKE A BIG CAT FOR ITS LIFETIME, EXPOSING THE UNFUNDED LIABILITY IMPOSED ON THESE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT TYPICALLY DO NOT READILY HAVE ACCESS TO THESE RESOURCES. *IN THE STABLE - NOT ON THE TABLE: THE CENTER HAS PARTNERED WITH ANIMALS' ANGELS ON FIELD INVESTIGATIONS TRACKING THE TRANSPORT OF AMERICAN HORSES TO SLAUGHTER IN MEXICO IN A CAMPAIGN TO SAVE HORSES FROM BEING SLAUGHTERED. THE NUMBER OF AMERICAN HORSES SHIPPED TO SLAUGHTER IN CANADA AND MEXICO HAS DECLINED FROM A HIGH OF 140,000 TWO DECADES AGO TO 23,000 TODAY. THIS IS AN ENCOURAGING TREND, AND OUR GOAL IS TO REDUCE THAT NUMBER TO ZERO, INCLUDING BY URGING THE CONGRESS TO FORBID LIVE EXPORTS OF HORSES FOR SLAUGHTER FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. WE AGAIN FOCUS ON THE ECONOMIC ANALYSIS, AS WELL AS TAPPING THE CULTURAL AFFECTIONS FOR HORSES THAT HELPED SETTLE OUR NATION AND ADVANCE ITS PROGRESS. BUTCHERING THESE HORSES FOR FOREIGN CONSUMERS IS A TERRIBLE BETRAYAL OF OUR RESPONSIBILITIES TO WORKING ANIMALS WHO SERVED OUR NATION IN ITS SETTLEMENT, COMMERCE, AND EVEN IN WAR.
FORM 990, PART III, LINES 1, 4A, 4B AND 4C - CONTINUED *ELEPHANTS IN CRISIS: THE CENTER LAUNCHED A CAMPAIGN TO DELIVER FOOD RELIEF TO AS MANY AS 3,000 STARVING ELEPHANTS IN THAILAND CONSCRIPTED INTO THE TOURISM TRADE THAT BOTTOMED OUT AFTER THE PANDEMIC HIT AND LEFT THEIR CUSTODIANS WITH LITTLE CAPACITY TO MEET THE ANIMALS' NEEDS. THE CENTER ALSO IS WORKING WITH BUSINESSES AND THE THAI GOVERNMENT TO RECOGNIZE THE BENEFITS OF A PARADIGM SHIFT AWAY FROM ENTERTAINMENT AND TOWARD A WATCHABLE-WILDLIFE EXPERIENCE, WHERE TOURISTS CAN ENJOY SEEING ELEPHANTS EXHIBIT NATURAL BEHAVIOR AND WHERE ELEPHANTS CAN BE LEFT ALONE TO BE ELEPHANTS AND NOT USED AS CARRIAGE RIDES. *BANNING THE SHARK FIN TRADE: THE CENTER RAISED PUBLIC AWARENESS TO COMBAT THE HORRIBLE COMMERCIAL BUSINESS OF KILLING AS MANY AS 70 MILLION SHARKS FOR THEIR FINS TO SUPPLY THE DEMAND FOR SHARK FIN SOUP. NO ONE NEEDS SHARK FIN SOUP ANY LONGER, SINCE THE FIN IS TASTELESS AND DEVOID OF NUTRITIONAL PROPERTIES. SHARKS ARE KEYSTONE SPECIES IN MARINE ECOSYSTEMS, BUOYING SYSTEMS THAT SUSTAIN A VAST NUMBER OF HUMAN COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISES FROM RECREATIONAL AND COMMERCIAL FISHING TO HARVESTING ALL SORTS OF OTHER PRODUCTS FROM THE OCEANS. SHARKS ARE ALSO AT THE CENTER OF A VAST MARINE ECOSYSTEM DIVING AND TOURISM INDUSTRY THAT DRIVES COMMERCE IN COASTAL REGIONS OF THE U.S. AND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. *NO DOPING IN RACING. AFTER ANIMAL WELLNESS ACTION WORKED TO PASS IN DECEMBER 2020 THE HORSERACING INTEGRITY AND SAFETY ACT TO RESTRICT SAME-DAY DOPING OF THOROUGHBREDS IN COMPETITION, THE CENTER HAS WORKED WITH AWA TO HOLD INDUSTRY ACTORS ACCOUNTABLE AND TO REDUCE SAFETY RISKS TO THE HORSES AND TO THE JOCKEYS ON THE TRACK. THE FEDERAL LAW IS SET TO TAKE EFFECT ON JULY 1, 2022, BUT WE SAW NO REASON FOR TRAINERS AND OWNERS AND OTHER PLAYERS IN THE INDUSTRY TO WAIT UNTIL THEN TO STOP DOPING, WHICH SCRAMBLES THE RESULTS OF COMPETITION AND PUTS THE ATHLETES AT THE CENTER OF THE ENTERPRISE AT RISK. WE REVIEW RACING RESULTS AND CALL OUT HORSE DEATHS AND INJURIES AND DEMAND THAT THE INDUSTRY DO BETTER ON SAFETY. WE ALSO EXPRESS CONCERNS ABOUT THE USE OF THE WHIP AND WANT MORE REST AND CARE FOR HORSES WHO ENABLE THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY IN THE FIRST PLACE. WE ALSO DEMAND THAT THE INDUSTRY PROTECT ITS HORSES FROM BEING SENT TO SLAUGHTER AFTER THEY ARE NO LONGER RACING. WE'LL CONTINUE TO BE A WATCHDOG, AND AS WITH SO MUCH OF OUR WORK, WHEN WE SECURE MORE ATTENTION FOR THE INDUSTRY, THE FORTUNES OF THAT SAME INDUSTRY TURN FOR THE BETTER.
