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 $11,787,532 to TARGET MARKETEAM, INC. AND $46,209 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 FOUR 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, 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 MCCARTHY MANBRO BERTINO, LLC $248,000 TO PRODUCE DIRECT RESPONSE TV SPOTS. THESE SPOTS DID NOT AIR DURING CALENDAR YEAR 2017.

ONLINE MEDIA: THE HSUS USES ONLINE MEDIA TO REACH ITS SUPPORTERS AND MEMBERS, AND SENDS THOUSANDS OF EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS TO ITS CONSTITUENTS. THE ORGANIZATION HAS A DYNAMIC TEXT MESSAGING PROGRAM, ACTIVATING MORE THAN 186,900 CONSTITUENTS TO TAKE ACTION FOR ANIMALS DIRECTLY FROM THEIR MOBILE PHONES. VIDEO: THE HSUS PRODUCES VIDEOS TIED TO ITS MAJOR CAMPAIGNS AND ACTIVITIES. THE HSUS REGISTERED MORE THAN 116 MILLION VIEWS FOR ITS ONLINE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE, FACEBOOK, APPLE TV, HUMANESOCIETY.ORG, AND ROKU. MEDIA RELATIONS: THE DEPARTMENT WORKS TO INFORM THE PUBLIC ABOUT ANIMAL PROTECTION THROUGH MASS MEDIA. IN 2017, THE HSUS DISTRIBUTED 126 PRESS RELEASES, STATEMENTS, AND NEWS BRIEFS TO JOURNALISTS, AND DISTRIBUTED SEVERAL HUNDRED OP-EDS, GUEST COLUMNS, AND LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. THESE AND OTHER EFFORTS GENERATED MORE THAN 29,400 MEDIA APPEARANCES. THE HSUS ALSO PLACED ADVERTISEMENTS INCLUDING BILLBOARDS, PRINT ADS, PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS, AND MORE.

IN 2017, MORE THAN 520,000 PEOPLE RECEIVED THE HSUS'S BI-MONTHLY ALL ANIMALS MAGAZINE.

UNIQUE PAGE VIEWS TO ANIMALSHELTERING.ORG, AN ONLINE RESOURCE FOR THOSE IN THE SHELTERING AND RESCUE FIELDS, NUMBERED APPROXIMATELY 817,000 IN 2017. CONFERENCES AND EVENTS: THE HSUS HOSTS A NUMBER OF CONFERENCES AND EVENTS FOR ANIMAL ADVOCATES. THESE INCLUDE ANIMAL CARE EXPO, THE FOREMOST PROFESSIONAL ANIMAL CARE AND SERVICES CONFERENCE IN THE WORLD, AND TAKING ACTION FOR ANIMALS (TAFA), A MARQUEE BIENNIAL EVENT FOR HUMANE ADVOCATES INTERESTED IN ENGAGEMENT AND TRAINING. DURING 2016, 935 INDIVIDUALS ATTENDED THE BIENNAIL TAFA EVENT. IN 2017, 2,124 PEOPLE FROM OVER FORTY COUNTRIES ATTENDED ANIMAL CARE EXPO. DONOR CARE: DONOR CARE MANAGES THE MEMBERSHIP EXPERIENCE FOR THE HSUS, AND RESPONDS TO THOUSANDS OF SUPPORTER AND MEMBER INQUIRIES ANNUALLY. IN 2017, DONOR CARE FIELDED 75,143 TELEPHONE CALLS AND 96,794 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, AND CONNECTS 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 GIVING INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC ON HOW TO SELECT A BREEDER, AND BY WORKING WITH A BREEDER ADVISORY AND RESOURCE COUNCIL (BARC).
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b PUBLIC POLICY AND ENFORCEMENT (CONTINUED)	CONTINUED FROM PART III, 4B (1 OF 5) EQUINE PROTECTION: IN 2017, 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 279 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 238 COSPONSORS IN THE 115th CONGRESS. THE HSUS AND HSI SUCCESSFULLY LOBBIED THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION TO ADOPT A SIX-MONTH RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT FOR HORSEMEAT IMPORTS FROM ALL NON-EU COUNTRIES, WHICH CAME INTO EFFECT IN MARCH 2017. THE HSUS IS WORKING HARD TO ENSURE THAT THE SUSPENSION ON HORSEMEAT IMPORTS FROM MEXICO REMAINS IN PLACE. IN 2017, THE HSUS CONTINUED ITS EFFORTS TO PROMOTE THE HUMANE MANAGEMENT OF WILD HORSES AND BURROS ON PUBLIC LANDS. THE HSUS CONTINUED ITS PROGRAM TO TREAT FREE-ROAMING HORSES IN VIEQUES, PUERTO RICO, AND KICKED OFF A RESEARCH PROGRAM IN CONJUCTION WITH THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT TO RESEARCH THE FEASIBILITY OF TREATING FREE-ROAMING WILD BURROS WITH PZP. THE HSUS ALSO SUCCESSFULLY RALLIED AGAINST THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT'S ATTEMPT TO SECURE LANGUAGE IN FY18 APPROPRATIONS THAT WOULD HAVE ALLOWED THE AGENCY TO KILL UPWARDS OF 90,000 WILD HORSES AND BURROS. ANIMAL RESEARCH ISSUES: THE PROTECTION AND PROMPT RETIREMENT OF CHIMPANZEES ONCE USED IN RESEARCH IS A PRIORITY. THE HSUS CONTINUES TO BE A LEADER IN THE CAMPAIGN TO END ANIMAL USE IN TOXICITY TESTING. FOLLOWING THE HSUS'S WORK TO ENSURE 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 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF NEW METHODS, THE HSUS WILL NOW FOCUSES ON ENSURING PROPER IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LAW BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY. IN THE PRODUCT TESTING ARENA, THE HSUS LED WORK ON 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. IN REGARD TO TOXICITY TESTING, THE HSUS CONTINUED TO PROMOTE REFORM THROUGH ITS PARTICIPATION 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 (HTPC--WHOSE PARTICIPANTS INCLUDE PROMINENT MULTI-NATIONAL CORPORATIONS), WHICH WORKS TO IDENTIFY SCIENTIFIC OPPORTUNITIES AND TO SECURE SIGNIFICANT FUNDING, AS WELL AS TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT NON-ANIMAL ALTERNATIVES, THROUGH ITS WEBSITE. THE HSUS COMMUNICATES WITH THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY THROUGH ALTTOX.ORG, A WEBSITE THAT PROVIDES SCIENTIFIC AND POLICY UPDATES, AND ENCOURAGES INFORMATION EXCHANGE AMONG STAKEHOLDERS. THE HSUS'S WORK TO ADVANCE THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ALTERNATIVES TO REPLACE ANIMAL USE FOR TOXICITY TESTING IS LAYING IMPORTANT GROUNDWORK FOR ALTERNATIVES IN THE BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH ARENA. THE HSUS, AS PART OF ITS HTPC WORK, COHOSTED A KEY WORKSHOP WITH THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH THAT FOCUSED ON HOW THIS EFFORT COULD BE ADVANCED. WILDLIFE: THE HSUS JOINED A PETITION WITH OTHER NGOs TO CANCEL THE REGISTRATION OF M-14 CYANIDE CAPSULES (SODIUM CYANIDE) -- ALSO KNOWN AS 'CYANIDE BOMBS'-USED BY AGENTS WITH WILDLIFE SERVICES TO KILL SO-CALLED 'NUISANCE WILDLIFE,' INCLUDING COYOTES, FOXES, AND OTHER ANIMALS. THE PROGRAM RELEASED STATE OF THE MOUNTAIN LION, AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT MOUNTAIN LIONS ACROSS THE U.S, FOCUSING ON THREATS TO SURVIVAL, POPULATION SIZE, AND STATE MANAGEMENT. THE REPORT INCLUDES STATE-BY-STATE SUMMARIES IN THE 16 STATES WITH BREEDING LION POPULATIONS AND A COMPREHENSIVE LEGAL REVIEW OF MOUNTAIN LION REGULATIONS IN EVERY STATE. WILDLIFE WORKED TO SECURE THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY'S APPROVAL OF PZP (REGISTERED UNDER THE BRAND NAME ZONASTAT-H) TO MANAGE DEER POPULATIONS. THIS TRIUMPH WAS THE RESULT OF TWENTY YEARS OF RESEARCH INVOLVING THE HSUS. AS AN IMMUNOCONTRACEPTIVE, PZP HAS PROVEN TO BE A HUMANE AND EFFECTIVE FERTILITY CONTROL METHOD FOR HORSES AND BURROS.
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 TO FAVOR HUMANE PRODUCTS, 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 TO ACHIEVE REFORMS IN THE WAYS IN WHICH ANIMALS ARE RAISED AND TREATED IN THE AGRIBUSINESS SECTOR, AND ENCOURAGING CONSUMERS TO CHOOSE PRODUCTS NOT DERIVED FROM FACTORY FARMING; AND REPLACEMENT, THE INCORPORATION OF PLANT FOODS INTO THE DIET. IN 2017, 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, DOZENS OF COMPANIES - INCLUDING BURGER KING, SONIC, JACK IN THE BOX, AND SUBWAY -- ANNOUNCED COMPREHENSIVE REFORMS FOR THEIR CHICKEN SUPPLY CHAINS. THESE INCLUDED MANDATES THAT SUPPLIERS SWITCH TO HEALTHIER BREEDS OF CHICKENS, GIVE ANIMALS MORE ROOM AND PROVIDE ENRICHMENTS THAT ALLOW THEM TO ENGAGE IN THEIR NATURAL BEHAVIORS, AND TRANSITION TO BETTER AND MORE MODERN SLAUGHTER SYSTEMS. THE HSUS HOSTED A SERIES OF "FOOD FORWARD" EVENTS NATIONWIDE, TRAINING MORE THAN 1,700 FOOD SERVICE PROFESSIONALS IN NEARLY 100 PLANT-BASED CULINARY TRAINING SESSIONS. THE FOCUS WAS ON IMPLEMENTATION OF PROGRAMS LIKE MEATLESS MONDAY TO REDUCE THE SUFFERING OF ANIMALS ON FACTORY FARMS, AND WITH THE HSUS'S HELP, DOZENS OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS INSTITUTED MEATLESS DAYS. IN 2017, THE HSUS ANNOUNCED FAR-REACHING PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMPASS GROUP AND ARAMARK, TWO OF THE LARGEST FOOD SERVICE CORPORATIONS IN THE WORLD, WHICH MANAGE DINING OPERATIONS AT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF U.S. COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES, K-12 SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS. WILDLIFE PROTECTION: RINGLING BROS. AND BARNUM & BAILEY CIRCUS CLOSED AFTER A 146-YEAR RUN USING WILD ANIMAL ACTS, GIVING MOMENTUM TO CAMPAIGNS AGAINST CAPTIVE ANIMAL PERFORMANCE. THE HSUS ALSO WORKED TO GET GUCCI AND MICHAEL KORS, TWO OF THE BIGGEST BRANDS IN LUXURY FASHION, TO END THEIR USE OF FUR, FROM FUR-BEARING ANIMALS CAUGHT IN THE WILD OR TORMENTED IN FUR FACTORY OPERATIONS. PET STORE CONVERSIONS: THE PUPPY MILL CAMPAIGN ASSISTED IN CONVERTING TWO PET STORES THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY SOLD PUPPIES TO A HUMANE MODEL THAT OFFERS DOGS AND PUPPIES FROM LOCAL SHELTERS INSTEAD. AS A RESULT, MORE THAN 4,000 SHELTER DOGS HAVE BEEN SAVED DURING 2017.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4a EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT	CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 4A (2 OF 4) CAT PROTECTION AND POLICY: THE FOCUS OF THE CAT PROTECTION AND POLICY PROGRAM IS 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 IS WORKING TO REDUCE SHELTER INTAKE AND EUTHANASIA OF CATS, AND MOBILIZING 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 "MANAGING COMMUNITY CATS: A GUIDE FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS; " A "GUIDE TO CAT BEHAVIOR COUNSELING;" TWO ONLINE COURSES; A SERIES OF ARCHIVED WEBINARS; AND ONE-ON-ONE SUPPORT FOR PROFESSIONALS AND VOLUNTEERS SEEKING TO IMPROVE CAT PROTECTION AND POLICY IN THEIR COMMUNITY. IN 2017, STAFF MEMBERS LED "RETHINKING THE CAT" SYMPOSIA IN THREE STATES, WITH NEARLY 300 PARTICIPANTS. 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 2017, THE SHELTER PET PROJECT PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS RAN MORE THAN 1.1 MILLION TIMES IN PRINT, RADIO, TELEVISION, INTERACTIVE AND OUT-OF-HOME ADVERTISING, HELPING TO DRIVE MORE THAN 500,000 ONLINE SEARCHES FOR PETS AND LOCAL PET ADOPTION GROUPS-AN INCREASE OF 59% OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THE TOTAL DONATED REVENUE (PRELIMINARY DATA) WAS MORE THAN $45 MILLION. SINCE THE CAMPAIGN'S LAUNCH IN 2009, THE ANNOUCEMENTS HAVE RUN MORE THAN 8.1 MILLION TIMES ($364.5 MILLION IN FREE ADVERTISING), AND THE CAMPAIGN IS EXPECTED TO GENERATE AN ADDITIONAL $45 MILLION IN FUTURE ADVERTISING IN 2018. SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2009, THE SHELTER PET PROJECT HAS WORKED TO LIFT PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF ANIMAL SHELTERS AND SHELTER PETS, AND HAS BEEN PART OF 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 2017, THE SHELTER PET PROJECT RANKED SECOND IN DONATED MEDIA AMONG CURRENT AD COUNCIL CAMPAIGNS. THE CAMPAIGN PARTNERED WITH FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, CATS ON BROADWAY, PONCHO THE WEATHER CAT AND PINTEREST, AMONG OTHER MEDIA PARTNERS, TO MAXIMIZE REACH AND EFFECTIVENESS. THE COMPANION ANIMALS DIVISION WORKED WITH THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT WITH THE HSUS 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 LIVES OF THOSE 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. ANIMALSHELTERING.ORG: 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; THE MOST 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 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 IN THE UNITED STATES 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 TO END HARM TO ANIMALS IN RESEARCH, TESTING, AND EDUCATION, THROUGH POLICY EFFORTS; COLLABORATION WITH SCIENTISTS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS; AND PUBLIC AND INSTITUTIONAL OUTREACH. IN 2017, THE HSUS FURTHER ADVANCED ITS PAIN AND DISTRESS INITIATIVE TO END ALL PAIN AND DISTRESS IN ANIMALS IN RESEARCH BY THE YEAR 2020, CHALLENGING UNIVERSITIES CONDUCTING ANIMAL RESEARCH TO ADOPT POLICIES PROHIBITING SEVERE SUFFERING THROUGH PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, MEDIA PRESSURE, AND THE HIGHLIGHTING OF VIOLATIONS OF ANIMAL RESEARCH POLICIES. WILDLIFE PROTECTION: THE HSUS WILDLIFE PROTECTION DIVISION IS A LEADER IN DEFENDING AND ASSISTING WILD ANIMALS, WHETHER 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, HUMANE CONSERVATION AND WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT, 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 HOSTED THE 8TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON WILDLIFE FERTILITY CONTROL IN WASHINGTON, DC AND BROUGHT TOGETHER SCIENTISTS, VETERINARIANS, MANAGERS, POLICY-MAKERS AND ADVOCATES FROM A RANGE OF DISCIPLINES TO DISCUSS ADVANCES WITHIN THE GROWING FIELD 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. IN 2014, HSISP CREATED 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 425,000 TIMES IN ITS FIRST FOUR YEARS, AND ARTICLES FROM ANIMAL SENTIENCE WERE DOWNLOADED 70,000 TIMES DURING THE FIRST 24 MONTHS FOLLOWING ITS 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 1,500 OF THESE TOOL KITS WERE ORDERED IN 2017. THE PROGRAM MANAGES MORE THAN 600 FAITH OUTREACH VOLUNTEER AND ALLIES. THIS GRASSROOTS NETWORK WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE THAN 300 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: THE HSUS HOSTED 34 TRAININGS AND TRAINED 1,880 LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND PROSECUTORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND HELD ITS FIRST FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND PROSECUTOR TRAINING WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND USDA/OIG. MORE THAN 120 AGENTS AND PROSECUTORS FROM 19 STATES ATTENDED THE TRAINING IN NORTH CAROLINA.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b PUBLIC POLICY AND ENFORCEMENT (CONTINUED)	CONTINUED FROM PART III, 4B (2 OF 5) THE HSUS CONTINUED TO PARTNER WITH WILD NEIGHBOR COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING TRAININGS AND RESOURCES TO HELP THEM HUMANELY ADDRESS WILDLIFE CONFLICTS IN THEIR COMMUNITY. THE FIVE PILOT COMMUNITIES ARE: AUSTIN, TX (ANIMAL CARE AND CONTROL); BOULDER, CO (ANIMAL CONTROL UNIT); ARLINGTON, VA (ANIMAL RESCUE LEAGUE); WASHINGTON, DC (HUMANE RESCUE ALLIANCE); AND SAN DIEGO, CA (SAN DIEGO HUMANE SOCIETY). IN ITS EFFORTS TO CRACK DOWN ON ROADSIDE ZOOS, THE HSUS FILED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS WITH THE USDA REGARDING IMPROPER CARE OF EXOTIC ANIMALS. BASED ON THE COMPLAINTS, THREE FACILITIES WERE CITED FOR NUMEROUS ANIMAL WELFARE ISSUES. ILLINOIS AND NEW YORK BANNED THE USE OF ELEPHANTS IN CIRCUSES, AND DOZENS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, INCLUDING LOS ANGELES AND NEW YORK CITY, TOOK EVEN STRONGER ACTION TO STOP ANY WILD ANIMAL ACTS. THE HSUS HAS BEEN A LEADER IN THE FIGHT TO END KEEPING DANGEROUS WILD ANIMALS AS PETS. THIS YEAR, SOUTH CAROLINA SEVERELY RESTRICTED THE KEEPING OF BIG CATS, BEARS, AND GREAT APES. THERE ARE NOW ONLY FOUR STATES LEFT WITH FEW OR NO LAWS RESTRICTING PRIVATE POSSESSION OF DANGEROUS WILD ANIMALS (ALABAMA, NEVADA, NORTH CAROLINA AND WISCONSIN). THE HSUS WORKED TO DEFEAT PETITIONS IN COLORADO WHICH WOULD HAVE EXEMPTED THE ZOOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA FROM THE STATE'S PROHIBITION ON DANGEROUS WILD ANIMALS, AND ALLOWED FOR THE PRIVATE POSSESSION OF KANGAROO SPECIES AND SLOTHS. THE HSUS ALSO SUCCEEDED IN FEDERAL LITIGATION TO UPHOLD THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE'S PROHIBITION ON THE IMPORT OF GIANT CONSTRICTOR SNAKES DESTINED FOR THE INHUMANE PET TRADE, AND IN LITIGATION TO ENSURE THAT CAPTIVE FACILITIES HOLDING ENDANGERED SPECIES DO NOT EXHIBIT THEM IN A MANNER THAT UNDERMINES CONSERVATION. THE HSUS LED THE EFFORT TO PASS A LAW PLACING A MORATORIUM ON COWNOSE RAY KILLING CONTESTS IN MARYLAND, AND CONTINUE TO WORK TOWARD SEEING THESE CRUEL EVENTS STOPPED ALTOGETHER. THE HSUS LAUNCHED ITS COMPREHENSIVE TOOLKIT, "WILDLIFE KILLING CONTESTS: ENDING THE BLOOD SPORT IN YOUR COMMUNITY," WHICH PROVIDES ADVOCATES WITH GUIDANCE ON HOW TO COMBAT THIS PRACTICE. ANIMAL PROTECTION LITIGATION: THE HSUS'S ANIMAL PROTECTION LITIGATION (APL) SECTION CARRIES OUT PRECEDENT-SETTING LEGAL WORK ON BEHALF OF ANIMALS IN STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCIES, RESEARCHING, PREPARING, AND PROSECUTING ANIMAL PROTECTION 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. SINCE 2005, APL HAS FILED MORE THAN 170 LEGAL ACTIONS; SECURED MORE THAN 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 NEW ANIMAL PROTECTION LEGISLATION AND WORKS TO DEFEND 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 2017, APL WON A NUMBER OF SIGNIFICANT CASES. IT OBTAINED A RULING FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE D.C. CIRCUIT REJECTING THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE'S DECISION TO REMOVE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT PROTECTION FOR WOLVES. IT OBTAINED A RULING BY THE SUPREME COURT OF HAWAII, REQUIRING THE STATE TO REVIEW THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF COMMERCIAL AQUARIUM FISH COLLECTION PRIOR TO ISSUING PERMITS FOR THOSE ACTIVITIES WHICH WREAK HAVOC ON DELICATE MARINE ECOSYSTEMS, DESTROYING CORAL REEFS AND CAPTURING UNLIMITED NUMBER OF RARE FISH. AFTER A CHALLENGE FROM A PRO-TROPHY HUNTING GROUP, THE NINTH CIRCUIT UPHELD PROPOSITION 117, A LAW WHICH PROHIBITS THE KILLING OR INJURING OF ANY MOUNTAIN LION, AS WELL AS THE IMPORT INTO CALIFORNIA AND SALE WITHIN THE STATE OF ANY MOUNTAIN LION OR ANY PART THEREOF, REGARDLESS OF THE ORIGIN OF THE ANIMAL. AFTER THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ELIMINATED ACCESS TO AN ONLINE SEARCHABLE DATABASE THAT INCLUDED RESEARCH FACILITY ANNUAL REPORTS, INSPECTION REPORTS FOR ZOOS AND PUPPY MILLS, AND ENFORCEMENT RECORDS FOR ANIMAL WELFARE ACT AND HORSE PROTECTION ACT VIOLATIONS, APL SENT THE USDA A NOTICE OF LEGAL VIOLATION AS THIS ACTION VIOLATED A PREVIOUS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WHEREBY USDA AGREED TO MAKE RESEARCH FACILITY ANNUAL REPORTS AVAILABLE. IN A SIMILAR MOVE, THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE REVERSED ITS DECISION TO WITHHOLD RECORDS FROM THE HSUS REGARDING THE IMPORTATION OF WILDLIFE AND WILDLIFE PARTS, INCLUDING HUNTING TROPHIES. THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ISSUED AN ORDER DISMISSING THE CLAIMS ASSERTED BY AN EXOTIC ANIMAL GROUP WHICH CHALLENGED THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE'S REGULATION PROHIBITING THE IMPORT OF EIGHT SPECIES OF GIANT CONSTRICTOR SNAKES. THESE SPECIES OF PYTHONS AND ANACONDAS ARE EXPLOITED FOR THE EXOTIC PET TRADE, CAUSING UNNECESSARY ANIMAL SUFFERING IN THE HANDS OF UNQUALIFIED OWNERS AS WELL AS SUBSTANTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE WHEN THE SNAKES ARE RELEASED INTO NATIVE ECOSYSTEMS.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b PUBLIC POLICY AND ENFORCEMENT (CONTINUED)	CONTINUED FROM PART III, 4B (3 OF 5) FOR COMPANION ANIMALS, APL OBTAINED RULINGS FROM THE COURTS OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND AND SEVENTH CIRCUITS UPHOLDING LAWS RESTRICTING THE RETAIL SALES OF COMPANION ANIMALS OBTAINED FROM PUPPY MILLS AND OTHER UNSCRUPULOUS BREEDERS WITHIN WHOSE OPERATIONS ANIMALS ARE OFTEN RAISED IN OVERCROWDED AND UNSANITARY CONDITIONS, LEADING TO HEALTH AND BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS FOR THE ANIMALS, AND EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL BURDENS ON CONSUMERS. APL ALSO OBTAINED THREE SEPARATE STATE COURT RULINGS IN OHIO PRESERVING CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF A NEW LAW THAT MAKE BESTIALITY AND ANIMAL FIGHTING A FELONY IN THE STATE. THE LAW WAS RECENTLY USED TO BRING THE FIRST EVER PROSECUTION FOR BESTIALITY IN OHIO. APL ALSO ASSISTED HABERSHAM COUNTY, GEORGIA OFFICIALS WITH RECOVERING ALMOST $70,000 IN COSTS OF CARE IN THE FIRST CASE INVOLVING THE APPLICATION OF A NEW LAW THAT SHIFTS THE BURDEN FOR THE COST OF CARING FOR ANIMALS IN CRUELTY CASES TO WHERE IT RIGHTLY BELONGS - THE OWNER OR CUSTODIAN CHARGED WITH CRUELTY. FOR FARM ANIMALS THE HSUS SECURED A UNANIMOUS RULING FROM THE NINTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS REINSTATING CALIFORNIA'S LAW BANNING THE SALE OF FOIE GRAS -A FATTENED BIRD LIVER PRODUCT - IF MADE BY THE PRACTICE OF FORCE-FEEDING BIRDS. THE COURT HELD THAT CALIFORNIA HAS EVERY RIGHT TO REGULATE ACTIVITY WITHIN ITS STATE MARKET TO PREVENT COMPLICITY IN A PRACTICE IT DEEMS CRUEL TO ANIMALS. THE U.S. SUPREME COURT DECLINED TO HEAR AN APPEAL BY SEVERAL ALIGNED STATE ATTORNEYS-GENERAL AND GOVERNORS ALIGNED WITH AGRIBUSINESS, WHO WERE SEEKING TO OVERTURN CALIFORNIA'S LANDMARK EGG SALES LAW, AB 1437, WHICH REQUIRES THAT EGGS SOLD IN THE STATE COME FROM HENS NOT SUBJECTED TO CRUEL CONFINEMENT PRACTICES. APL ALSO CONVINCED THE D.C. CIRCUIT COURT TO VACATE A 2008 BUSH-ERA ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGULATION WHICH EXEMPTED THE LARGEST INDUSTRIALIZED ANIMAL AGRICULTURE FACILITIES, CALLED CAFOS (CONCENTRATED ANIMAL FEEDING OPERATIONS) FROM THEIR LEGAL OBLIGATIONS TO REPORT RELEASES OF HARMFUL AIR EMISSIONS OF AMMONIA AND HYDROGEN SULFIDE. THE HSUS BROUGHT THE SUIT UNDER THE EMERGENCY PLANNING AND COMMUNITY RIGHT-TO-KNOW ACT (EPCRA) AND THE COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE, COMPENSATION & LIABILITY ACT (CERCLA). OVER THE PAST YEAR, APL'S LEGISLATIVE TEAM HANDLED OVER 100 INDIVIDUAL BILL DRAFTING AND REVIEW REQUESTS AND DRAFTED SEVERAL BALLOT MEASURES FOR THE 2018 CYCLE. WITH RESPECT TO BALLOT MEASURES, APL DRAFTED AND FILED AN OHIO MEASURE THAT WOULD ESTABLISH STRONG COMMERCIAL DOG BREEDING STANDARDS FOR OHIO FACILITIES AND REQUIRE DOGS SOLD TO CONSUMERS IN THE STATE COME FROM BREEDERS WHO COMPLY WITH THOSE STANDARDS. A SECOND BALLOT SUBMITTED IN CALIFORNIA WOULD UPGRADE EXISTING CALIFORNIA LAW CONCERNING CONFINEMENT OF FARM ANIMALS TO PROVIDE MORE SPACE FOR EGG-LAYING HENS, BREEDING PIGS, AND CALVES, AND TO REQUIRE THAT ALL EGGS, PORK, AND VEAL SOLD TO CONSUMERS IN THE STATE COME FROM CAGE-FREE AND CRATE-FREE ENVIRONMENTS. SEVERAL STATE BILLS THAT APL DRAFTED HAVE BECOME LAW. OF PARTICULAR NOTE ARE A SERIES OF BILLS ADDRESSING USE OF CAPTIVE WILD ANIMALS IN ENTERTAINMENT. ILLINOIS BECAME THE FIRST STATE TO PROHIBIT THE USE OF ELEPHANTS IN CIRCUSES AND OTHER TRAVELING ANIMAL ACTS. NEW YORK CITY ALSO VOTED TO BAN WILD ANIMAL ACTS IN CIRCUSES. STATE AFFAIRS: IN 2017, THE HSUS HELPED TO PASS 226 NEW STATE AND LOCAL MEASURES TO PROTECT ANIMALS (113 LAWS, 113 ORDINANCES), AND HELPED TO DEFEAT 58 HARMFUL MEASURES. AMONG THE HIGHLIGHTS: CALIFORNIA PASSED A LAW REQUIRING PET STORES TO SOURCE DOGS, CATS AND RABBITS FROM SHELTERS AND NOT PUPPY MILLS; ILLINOIS AND NEW YORK BANNED ELEPHANT ACTS; PENNSYLVANIA AND ARKANSAS PASSED FELONY CRUELTY LAWS; NEVADA, VERMONT AND TEXAS BANNED BESTIALITY; SOUTH CAROLINA PASSED A LAW CONCERNING EXOTIC ANIMALS; MARYLAND PASSED NINE NEW LAWS; ARIZONA, COLORADO, INDIANA, NEVADA AND OREGON PASSED LAWS CONCERNING DOGS IN HOT CARS; NEVADA PASSED A LAW ON WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING; NEW YORK CREATED A COMPANION ANIMAL CAPITAL FUND. THE HSUS HELPED TO DEFEAT DANGEROUS MEASURES CONCERNING PREEMPTION IN TENNESSEE, GEORGIA, FLORIDA, AND ILLINOIS; RIGHT TO FARM/AG GAG IN MISSOURI, WEST VIRGINIA, NEVADA, AND MAINE; BEAR HUNTING IN FLORIDA AND CONNECTICUT; CITIZEN BALLOT MEASURES IN FLORIDA AND CONNECTICUT; AND RIGHT TO HUNT IN MONTANA, MISSOURI, NEW YORK, WASHINGTON, SOUTH DAKOTA, AND NEVADA. HUMANE STATE RANKINGS: IN 2017, THE HSUS CONTINUED ITS HUMANE STATE RANKINGS, AN ACCOUNT OF ANIMAL-FRIENDLY REGULATIONS AND LAWS IN ALL FIFTY STATES. INVESTIGATIONS: CONSISTENT WITH ITS FOUNDERS' VISION, CONDUCTED SEVERAL IN-DEPTH UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATIONS DURING 2017. NEW YORK PUPPY STORE: A HSUS INVESTIGATOR OBTAINED A JOB AS A SALESPERSON AT A NYC PUPPY STORE. THAT STORE WAS SELLING SICK AND INJURED PUPPIES FROM SUBSTANDARD MIDWESTERN PUPPY MILLS FOR MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO UNSUSPECTING CUSTOMERS WHO WERE TOLD THAT THE STORE WOULD NEVER GET ITS PUPS FROM PUPPY MILLS. WHEN THE INVESTIGATION BECAME PUBLIC, THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE BECAME INVOLVED, FIELDING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM CONSUMERS WHO HAD BOUGHT SICK PUPPIES AND SPENT THOUSANDS FOR VETERINARY CARE-- SOMETIMES TO NO AVAIL. THE STORE CLOSED DOWN AFTER THE INVESTIGATION.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b PUBLIC POLICY AND ENFORCEMENT (CONTINUED)	CONTINUED FROM PART III, 4B (4 OF 5) PILGRIM'S PRIDE SLAUGHTERING PLANT: PILGRIM'S PRIDE IS THE NUMBER ONE PRODUCER OF CHICKEN IN THE COUNTRY. TWO HSUS INVESTIGATORS OBTAINED JOBS - ONE AT A BROILER FARM SUPPLYING BIRDS TO PILGRIM'S PRIDE AND THE OTHER AT A PILGRIM'S PRIDE POULTRY SLAUGHTER PLANT. BOTH INVESTIGATORS FILMED BIRDS BEING PUMMELED WITH METAL RODS AND FISTS AND CRUELLY THROWN EN MASSE INTO TINY TRANSPORT CAGES. PILGRIM'S PRIDE ENDED ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CONTRACT FARM. IVORY SALES IN MASSACHUSETTS: THE HSUS CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE SALE OF IVORY IN THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS, VISITING 64 VENDORS AND EXAMINING ALMOST 700 ITEMS MADE OF ELEPHANT IVORY. MOST RETAILERS, INCLUDING THOSE AT ANTIQUE SHOPS, DID NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS TO PROVE THAT THE IVORY WAS LEGAL-DOCUMENTS THAT WOULD VERIFY THE AGE AND ORIGIN OF THE IVORY-AND SEVERAL ITEMS (JEWELRY AND COLLECTIBLES) APPEARED TO BE MADE OF NEW IVORY. WHEN ASKED, MANY SELLERS CLAIMED IGNORANCE OF EXISTING FEDERAL LAWS AND SOME EVEN OFFERED TO WRITE MISLEADING OR FALSE INFORMATION ON SALES RECEIPTS. SOME SELLERS FALSELY IDENTIFIED THEIR IVORY ITEMS AS "BONE." 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 2017 PUPPY MILL ACTION WEEK NATIONWIDE DURING THE WEEK OF MOTHER'S DAY, RELEASING ITS FIFTH ANNUAL "HORRIBLE HUNDRED" REPORT DOCUMENTING SPECIFIC PROBLEMS AT 100 PUPPY MILLS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE REPORT GENERATED DOZENS OF ARTICLES AND WAS MENTIONED IN THE WASHINGTON POST, USA TODAY AND OTHER MAJOR MEDIA. BY THE END OF THE YEAR, A NUMBER OF THE BREEDERS LISTED IN THE REPORT HAD CLOSED DOWN. IN ADDITION, ADVOCATES USED THE INFORMATION IN THE REPORT TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT BREEDERS SELLING TO PET STORES IN THEIR TOWNS, AND MANY HELPED PASS NEW LOCAL ORDINANCES THAT BAN THE SALE OF PUPPIES IN PET STORES. AS OF THE END OF 2017, 250 U.S. MUNICIPALITIES HAD PASSED ORDINANCES TO BAN THE SALE OF PUPPIES IN PET STORES UNLESS THEY COME FROM SHELTERS OR RESCUES, INCLUDING PHOENIX, PITTSBURGH, AND BEVERLY HILLS; IN ADDITION, CALIFORNIA BECAME THE FIRST STATE TO PASS A STATEWIDE BAN ON SELLING BREEDER PUPPIES IN PET STORES. FEDERAL AFFAIRS: THE HSUS FEDERAL AFFAIRS SECTION FOCUSES ON SUPPORT OF FEDERAL ANIMAL PROTECTION LEGISLATION AND REGULATION. FEDERAL AFFAIRS PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE IN SECURING STRONG LANGUAGE IN THE FY17 AGRICULTURE APPROPRIATIONS BILL. THE BILL RENEWED PROVISIONS TO DEFUND HORSE SLAUGHTER PLANTS IN THE U.S. AS WELL AS EXTEND THOSE PROTECTIONS TO WILD HORSES. FURTHER, THE BILL DIRECTED THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT (BLM) TO CREATE A PLAN TO MAINTAIN LONG-TERM SUSTAINABLE POPULATIONS OF WILD HORSES AND BURROS ON THE RANGE IN A HUMANE MANNER. THIS BILL SUSTAINED FUNDING FOR ENFORCEMENT OF KEY LAWS SUCH AS THE HORSE PROTECTION ACT (HPA), ANIMAL WELFARE ACT (AWA), AND HUMANE METHODS OF SLAUGHTER ACT. ADDITIONALLY, THIS BILL PROVIDED $400,000 MORE TO OVERSEE ANIMAL WELFARE STANDARDS AT USDA FACILITIES CONDUCTING RESEARCH ON FARM ANIMALS, $1.5 MILLION MORE FOR VETERINARY STUDENT LOAN REPAYMENT, AND $2.5 MILLION MORE FOR THE OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL THAT HELPS ENFORCE ANIMAL FIGHTING PROHIBITIONS. IT ALSO RENEWED THE PROHIBITION ON LICENSING/RELICENSING "CLASS B" RANDOM SOURCE DEALERS OF ANIMALS. FEDERAL AFFAIRS SECURED LANGUAGE IN THE FY17 INTERIOR APPROPRIATIONS BILL TO MAINTAIN ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT (ESA) PROTECTIONS FOR GRAY WOLVES IN THE WYOMING AND GREAT LAKES REGION, AND OPPOSE HARMFUL LANGUAGE PROPOSED TO UNDERMINE ESA PROTECTIONS FOR VARIOUS SPECIES. THIS BILL PROVIDED AN ADDITIONAL $7.5 MILLION FOR THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE'S OFFICE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND $1.9 MILLION FOR FWS'S INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS DIVISION TO FIGHT WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING. FEDERAL AFFAIRS PLAYED A CRITICAL ROLE IN GATHERING BIPARTISAN SUPPORT FROM 184 REPRESENTATIVES AND 38 SENATORS REQUESTING FY18 FUNDING TO ENFORCE IMPORTANT ANIMAL WELFARE LAWS AND RESTORE USDA INSPECTION REPORTS AND OTHER RECORDS CONCERNING ANIMAL WELFARE ACT AND HORSE PROTECTION ACT ENFORCEMENT. SEVERAL APPROPRIATIONS BILLS, IN BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE THAT HAVE PASSED THROUGH COMMITTEE CONTAIN ANIMAL PROTECTION PROVISIONS FOR WILDLIFE, COMPANION ANIMALS, ANIMALS USED IN RESEARCH AND TESTING, AND FARM ANIMALS.
Form 990, Part III, Line 1 ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	THE HSUS IS THE NATION'S MOST INFLUENTIAL ANIMAL PROTECTION ORGANIZATION, HELPING ANIMALS THROUGH DIRECT CARE, CORPORATE REFORM, EDUCATION, DISASTER RESPONSE, EMERGENCY RELIEF AND RESCUE, FIELD WORK, INVESTIGATIONS, LITIGATION, RESEARCH, SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS, MEDIA OUTREACH, PUBLIC ADVOCACY, AND LEGISLATIVE AND POLICY INITIATIVES. FROM ITS FOUNDING IN 1954, THE HSUS HAS COMPLEMENTED AND ENHANCED THE WORK OF LOCAL AND REGIONAL HUMANE SOCIETIES, PROMOTING THE PROTECTION OF ANIMALS AT THE STATE, NATIONAL (AND GLOBAL) LEVEL, TACKLING ISSUES WHOSE SCOPE AND MAGNITUDE EXCEED THE CAPACITY OF LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, AND WORKING TO EXPAND THE HUMANE MOVEMENT THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND ABROAD. THE FOUNDERS OF THE HSUS DID NOT SEEK TO REPLICATE THE ACTIVITIES OF LOCAL GROUPS BUT CHOSE INSTEAD TO BE A NATIONAL VOICE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CRUELTY AND THE CELEBRATION OF THE HUMAN-ANIMAL BOND. THEY WANTED TO BE ACTIVE, AS AN EARLY HSUS MISSION STATEMENT DECLARED, IN "EVERY FIELD OF HUMANE WORK - EVERYWHERE." THE HSUS CONFRONTS LARGE-SCALE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL PROBLEMS, SUCH AS ANIMAL FIGHTING, PUPPY MILLS, COMPANION ANIMAL OVERPOPULATION, SEAL KILLING, COMMERCIAL TRADE IN WILDLIFE AND WILDLIFE PARTS AND PRODUCTS, TROPHY HUNTING, TRAPPING AND RAISING OF ANIMALS FOR FUR, SUFFERING OF HORSES VIA SORING, DRUGGING, AND OTHER ABUSES, AND INHUMANE SLAUGHTER AND FACTORY FARMING OF ANIMALS RAISED FOR FOOD. ITS PRIMARY DIVISIONS FOCUS ON COMPANION ANIMALS; WILDLIFE, MARINE ANIMALS AND WILD HABITAT; FARM ANIMAL WELFARE; ANIMALS IN RESEARCH, TESTING, AND EDUCATION; EQUINE PROTECTION; ANIMAL CRUELTY AND RESCUE; HUMANE EDUCATION; RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND OUTREACH; FAITH OUTREACH; AND GLOBAL ANIMAL PROTECTION. ITS STAFF INCLUDES SCIENTISTS, VETERINARIANS, EDUCATORS, COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALISTS, INVESTIGATORS, ATTORNEYS, AND OTHER EXPERTS IN ANIMAL WELFARE. THE HSUS IS A LEADING ADVOCATE FOR LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTERS AND PROVIDES SUBSTANTIAL DIRECT CARE FOR ANIMALS ON ITS OWN AND VIA AFFILIATES LIKE THE FUND FOR ANIMALS, THE HUMANE SOCIETY VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, THE SOUTH FLORIDA WILDLIFE CENTER, THE HUMANE SOCIETY WILDLIFE LAND TRUST, AND HUMANE SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL. TOGETHER, THE HSUS AND ITS AFFILIATES ASSIST, RESCUE, CARE FOR, OR PROTECT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS ANNUALLY. THE HSUS RESCUES THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS EVERY YEAR FROM NATURAL AND HUMAN-CAUSED DISASTERS, SUPPORTS SANCTUARIES, ADVANCES MAJOR CAMPAIGNS TO PROMOTE ADOPTION AND SPAYING AND NEUTERING, AND PROVIDES LOW-COST SPAY/NEUTER PROGRAMS AND PET WELLNESS CLINICS IN UNDERSERVED URBAN AND RURAL COMMUNITIES. THE HSUS SUPPORTS THE PASSAGE OF LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL LEGISLATION, SEEKS TO ENSURE THAT EXISTING LAWS ARE ENFORCED, AND CONDUCTS PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS AND UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATIONS TO HIGHLIGHT CRUELTY TO ANIMALS AND THE NEED FOR REFORM IN THEIR TREATMENT. BY TRADITION, LOCAL HUMANE SOCIETIES ARE INDEPENDENT ENTITIES WITH THEIR OWN POLICIES, GOVERNANCE, AND PRIORITIES. THE HSUS SUPPORTS THEM THROUGH ADVICE AND PRACTICAL CONTRIBUTIONS FROM EXPERT STAFF; GRANTS; COOPERATION AND ASSISTANCE WITH HUMANE INVESTIGATIONS AND SEIZURES OF ANIMALS BY LAW ENFORCEMENT; LARGE-SCALE INITIATIVES PROMOTING ADOPTION AND SPAY/NEUTER TO REDUCE THE HOMELESS ANIMAL POPULATION; THE PROMOTION OF BEST PRACTICES IN ANIMAL CARE AND CONTROL; PUBLICATIONS AND RELATED RESOURCES; AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES (VIA ANIMAL CARE EXPO -- AN ANNUAL CONFERENCE -- AND ONLINE AND TRADITIONAL COURSES AND WEBINARS). THE HSUS ALSO DELIVERS BENEFITS TO LOCAL ANIMAL WELFARE SOCIETIES BY PURSUING POLICY OBJECTIVES AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL THAT ADVANCE THE WORK OF SUCH SOCIETIES IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES. IN 2017 THE HSUS EMPLOYED 46 STATE DIRECTORS, WHO ADVANCED ANIMAL PROTECTION THROUGH EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH TO THE PUBLIC; SUPPORTED THE WORK OF LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTERS AND HUMANE SOCIETY FEDERATIONS; NETWORKED WITH GRASSROOTS ADVOCATES, COMMUNITY INSTITUTIONS, LEGISLATORS, AND OTHERS; SUPPORTED HSUS FIELD RESCUE IN RELATION TO HOARDING, ANIMAL FIGHTING, AND OTHER CRUELTIES; ADVOCATED FOR CORPORATE AND INSTITUTIONAL POLICY CHANGES LIKE THE PURCHASE AND USE OF PRODUCTS FROM NON-CONFINED FARM ANIMALS; WORKED WITH OTHER RESPONDERS IN EMERGENCIES AND NATURAL DISASTERS AFFECTING ANIMALS; AND BUILT VOLUNTEER NETWORKS OF LIKE-MINDED SUPPORTERS IN THEIR STATES. STATE DIRECTORS ALSO ASSISTED WITH THE WORK OF HSUS STATE COUNCILS, HSUS STATE AGRICULTURE AND FAITH ADVISORY COUNCILS, AND THE HSUS DISTRICT LEADER PROGRAM.

SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL COUNCIL LEAD OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT SHARE THE HSUS'S GOALS. WORKING IN COLLABORATION WITH HSUS STAFF MEMBERS, THESE ADVOCATES HAVE HELPED TO RAISE THE PROFILE OF SUCH ISSUES AS COMMODITY CHECKOFF REFORM, USDA ORGANIC FOOD REGULATION, CAFO (CONFINED ANIMAL FEEDING OPERATION) REFORM, AND RELATED ISSUES. THEY HAVE ALSO GIVEN AN IMPORTANT BOOST TO EFFORTS TO SUPPORT FAMILY FARMERS THROUGH VARIOUS MEANS, INCLUDING THE PASSAGE OF LEGISLATION TO IMPROVE FOOD ANIMAL WELFARE AND THE DEFEAT OF LEGISLATION THAT THREATENS THAT OBJECTIVE. HSUS AGRICULTURAL COUNCILS ASSISTED HSUS WITH LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES INCLUDING CAMPAIGNS FOCUSED ON REFORMS TO THE NATIONAL ORGANICS STANDARD. THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS AND WORKING RELATIONSHIPS WITH GROUPS SUCH AS GLOBAL ANIMAL PARTNERSHIP, CERTIFIED HUMANE, AMERICAN GRASSFED, REAL FOOD CHALLENGE, AND MEMBERS OF HSUS AGRICULTURAL ADVISORY COUNCILS, THE HSUS SAW MORE THAN 300 MILLION FARM ANIMALS RAISED IN CERTIFIED HIGHER ANIMAL WELFARE STANDARD CONDITIONS.

ANIMAL RESCUE TEAM: THE HSUS'S ANIMAL RESCUE TEAM DEPLOYS TO ASSIST ANIMALS IN IMMEDIATE OR IMMINENT DISTRESS, AND WORKS TO END MALICIOUS ACTS OF CRUELTY AND ALL FORMS OF ANIMAL FIGHTING, AND TO SENSITIZE PUBLIC AND PROFESSIONAL AUDIENCES ABOUT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN CRUELTY TO ANIMALS AND INTERPERSONAL VIOLENCE. IN 2017, THE ANIMAL RESCUE TEAM DEPLOYED TEN TIMES AND RESCUED 11,703 ANIMALS FROM SITUATIONS OF EXTREME CRUELTY AND DISASTER, 7,945 OF WHICH CAME FROM ONE COCKFIGHTING CASE. OF THE ANIMALS RESCUED, 519 WERE FROM PUPPY MILLS, 8,018 FROM ANIMAL FIGHTING OPERATIONS, AND 39 FROM HOARDING AND NEGLECT CASES. DURING THE YEAR, THE ANIMAL RESCUE TEAM ASSISTED AND/OR RELOCATED 3,127 ANIMALS AFFECTED BY NATURAL DISASTER. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DOGFIGHTING RESCUE COALITION PARTNERS, THE HSUS PLACED 11 SURVIVORS OF DOGFIGHTING. THE ANIMAL RESCUE TEAM FIELDED MORE THAN 5,160 COMPLAINTS OF ILLEGAL ANIMAL CRUELTY AND FIGHTING AND PAID 19 REWARDS FOR TIPS THAT RESULTED IN SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTIONS AND ANIMALS RESCUED, 16 OF WHICH INVOLVED DOGFIGHTING AND NINE COCKFIGHTING CASES. THIS MEANT TOTAL REWARD PAYMENTS OF $97,000, INCLUDING $82,000 FOR DOGFIGHTING REWARDS, AND $15,000 FOR COCKFIGHTING REWARDS, DURING 2017. SINCE 2007, THE HSUS HAS PAID OUT A TOTAL OF 223 REWARDS IN CONNECTION WITH ITS ANIMAL FIGHTING, ANIMAL CRUELTY, AND PUPPY MILL TIP LINES. THE ANIMAL RESCUE TEAM VOLUNTEER PROGRAM DEPLOYED 293 VOLUNTEERS TO ASSIST IN SEVEN CASES, AND THOSE VOLUNTEERS LOGGED 18,882 HOURS IN THE SERVICE OF RESCUED ANIMALS. DISASTER RESPONSE WORK: THE 2017 HURRICANE SEASON BATTERED THE ATLANTIC AND THE CARIBBEAN WITH A SEQUENCE OF STORMS AND FLOODING THAT CAUSED WIDESPREAD DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION IN TEXAS, FLORIDA, PUERTO RICO, COSTA RICA AND THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS. COMBINED WITH THE TWO EARTHQUAKES THAT STRUCK MEXICO IN SEPTEMBER, THESE DISASTERS CREATED UNPRECEDENTED DEMAND FOR THE ANIMAL RESCUE SERVICES OF THE HSUS AND ITS GLOBAL AFFILIATE, HUMANE SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL. THE HSUS ANIMAL RESCUE TEAM SUCCESSFULLY RESPONDED TO THESE EVENTS, PROVIDING TIMELY AND VERSATILE SERVICES TO ANIMALS AND COMMUNITIES IN NEED. ACROSS THE BREADTH OF THE ORGANIZATION'S RESPONSE, IN ALL OF THESE THEATERS, WE ASSISTED MORE THAN 15,000 ANIMALS IN TOTAL, INCLUDING: * TRANSPORTING MORE THAN 4,000 ANIMALS FROM HURRICANE-STRICKEN ZONES TO SAFETY * ASSISTING 1,500 ANIMALS AND/OR HOUSEHOLDS WITH FIELD SERVICES INCLUDING FOOD AND VETERINARY CARE * PROVIDING FREE VETERINARY SERVICES AND OTHER SUPPORT TO NEARLY 4,000 ANIMALS THROUGH COLLABORATION WITH THE GROUP EMANCIPET * WORKING WITH MORE THAN 70 EMERGENCY PLACEMENT PARTNERS TO TAKE IN ANIMALS STATESIDE * AND DELIVERING MORE THAN 250,000 POUNDS OF HUMAN AND ANIMAL SUPPLIES TO DEVASTATED AREAS. NEW YORK BLOOD CENTER CHIMPANZEES: SEVERAL YEARS AGO, THE HSUS STEPPED INTO A DIRE SITUATION IN LIBERIA, AFRICA, WHERE OVER 60 CHIMPANZEES WERE NOT RECEIVING CARE DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS. THESE ANIMALS WERE ONCE USED FOR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH BY THE NEW YORK BLOOD CENTER (NYBC). IN 2017, THE HSUS AND NYBC CAME TO A CONSTRUCTIVE AGREEMENT IN WHICH NYBC CONTRIBUTED $6 MILLION, APPROXIMATELY HALF OF THE FUNDING NEEDED TO SUPPORT LIFETIME CARE OF THE CHIMPANZEES. THE HSUS HAS COMMITTED TO CONTRIBUTE THE REMAINING FUNDS NEEDED, AND TO PROVIDE DIRECT LIFETIME CARE TO THE ANIMALS. THE HSUS'S GLOBAL AFFILIATE, HUMANE SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL, IN ADDITION TO CARING FOR THESE CHIMPANZEES, WILL CARRY OUT OTHER PROGRAMS TO ADVANCE PROTECTION OF ANIMALS IN LIBERIA. CHIMPANZEE SANCTUARY IN THE UNITED STATES: THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 500 TO 600 CHIMPANZEES COMING OUT OF LABORATORIES IN NEED OF RETIREMENT TO SANCTUARIES. PRIMARILY THROUGH PROJECT CHIMPS, A 236-ACRE SANCTUARY IN GEORGIA, THE HSUS PLANS TO SUPPORT THE ONGOING CARE OF HUNDREDS OF CHIMPANZEES. THROUGH ITS AGREEMENT WITH THE NEW IBERIA RESEARCH CENTER (NIRC), PROJECT CHIMPS EXPECTS TO RETIRE MORE THAN 200 CHIMPANZEES IN TOTAL. BY DECEMBER 2017, 31 CHIMPANZEES HAD MADE THEIR WAY TO THE SANCTUARY WHERE THEY WILL RECEIVE LIFETIME CARE. MORE CHIMPANZEES WILL MOVE TO THE SANCTUARY IN 2018. PETS FOR LIFE: IN 2015, THE PETS FOR LIFE (PFL) PROGRAM REACHED A NEW MILESTONE - 100,000 PETS SERVED, AND TO DATE, IN ALL MARKETS, THROUGH ITS CORE AND MENTORSHIP MODELS, THE PROGRAM HAS SERVED 160,000 PETS, PROVIDED OVER 98,000 SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES AND OVER 400,000 MEDICATIONS, SUPPLIES AND SERVICES. IN 2017, PFL SERVED 30,000 PETS, PROVIDING DIRECT CARE TO MORE THAN 13,000 PETS IN PFL'S CORE CITIES OF LOS ANGELES AND PHILADELPHIA.

THE HSUS MAINTAINS THREE ONGOING FIELD PROGRAMS TO HIGHLIGHT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF FERTILITY CONTROL TO MANAGE WILDLIFE POPULATIONS IN A HUMANE MANNER. 1) THE HSUS COMPLETED THE FIRST YEAR OF A FIVE-YEAR FERTILITY CONTROL PROJECT TO STABILIZE AND REDUCE THE WILD HORSE POPULATION IN VIEQUES, PUERTO RICO, TREATING MORE THAN 270 ADULT FEMALES WITH IMMUNOCONTRACEPTION (ZONASTAT-H). THE ISLAND HAS MORE THAN 2,000 HORSES; 2) THE HSUS LAUNCHED THE FIRST-EVER PROJECT DESIGNED TO PROMOTE THE HUMANE, SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF WILD BURROS BY ASSESSING THE FEASIBILITY OF USING IMMUNOCONTRACEPTION TO MANAGE A WILD BURRO POPULATION IN THE BLACK MOUNTAIN HERD MANAGEMENT AREA IN NORTHWESTERN ARIZONA; AND 3) THE HSUS COMPLETED THE FOURTH YEAR OF A MULTI-YEAR PROJECT ADMINISTERING IMMUNOCONTRACEPTION TO WHITE-TAILED DEER IN HASTINGS-ON-HUDSON, NEW YORK. AFTER YEARS OF RESEARCH, THE IMMUNOCONTRACEPTION THE HSUS HAS BEEN USING (ZONASTAT-D) WAS OFFICIALLY REGISTERED FOR DEER BY THE ENVIROMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY. PRAIRIE DOGS: FOR THIS FIELD SEASON, THE HSUS'S FIELD RESPONSE TEAMS TRAVELED TO SEVEN DIFFERENT PROJECT SITES, TRANSLOCATING 1,147 PRAIRIE DOGS TO PROTECTED CONSERVATION AREAS AND IMPROVING 801 ACRES OF HABITAT. THE HSUS PARTNERED WITH STATE AND LOCAL AGENCIES, NGOs, TRIBES, SCIENTISTS, AND DEVELOPERS TO MAKE GOOD THINGS HAPPEN FOR THIS IMPERILED KEYSTONE SPECIES. STAFF MEMBERS CONDUCTED TWO PROJECTS IN MONTANA CREATING AND RESTORING LARGE-SCALE PRAIRIE DOG ECOSYSTEMS TO SUPPORT BOTH PRAIRIE DOGS AND OTHER CREATURES, INCLUDING NORTH AMERICA'S MOST ENDANGERED MAMMAL, THE BLACK-FOOTED FERRET. THE HSUS WORKED IN SOUTH DAKOTA TO HELP MORE THAN 280 PRAIRIE DOGS AND CREATE ADDITIONAL PROTECTED HABITAT. AFTER WORKING WITH THE HSUS FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, THE NEW YORK CITY MAYOR'S OFFICE DECIDED NOT TO ROUND UP AND KILL CANADA GEESE THIS YEAR, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SEVEN YEARS (MORE THAN 5,000 GEESE HAVE BEEN KILLED IN YEARLY ROUNDUPS SINCE 2010). THE CITY IS USING EGG ADDLING AND OTHER HUMANE METHODS SUGGESTED BY THE HSUS. HANDS-ON TRAINING: THE HSUS WILDLIFE TEAM PROVIDED LOCAL AND STATEWIDE TRAININGS ON HUMANE WILDLIFE CONFLICT RESOLUTION TECHNIQUES, REACHING AN AUDIENCE OF NEARLY 1,000 ANIMAL CONTROL AND POLICE OFFICERS, SHELTER STAFF, WILDLIFE REHABILITATORS, AND PARK STAFF.

AFFILIATE DESCRIPTIONS	AFFILIATE DESCRIPTIONS FOR HSUS SCHEDULE O (PART 1 OF 2) The Humane Society of the United States and Affiliates (collectively, the Society) are not-for profit organizations whose primary purpose is the worldwide advancement of humane treatment of animals through public education and awareness programs. 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 2017, 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, including 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. In 2017, hundreds of animals received care and treatment. Presently, a number of non-releasable or non-native animals rescued from the exotic pet trade and individual cruelty cases live at the Center, including an African lion, pygmy hippo, and mountain lion. The Center serves as a shelter for several dozen feral cats rescued from nearby San Nicolas Island. Doris Day Animal League EIN #95-4117651 (DDAL), founded in 1987 by the legendary actress and animal advocate, is a nonprofit, national, citizen's lobbying organization working for the humane treatment of animals. Since its inception, DDAL, a 501(c)(4) entity, has been a leader on animal welfare legislation and public policy. 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 2017, DDAL continued its efforts to gain support for non-animal methods of research 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 research 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. In the Congress, DDAL worked for the passage of legislation including the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act; the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act; and the Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act.

AFFILIATE DESCRIPTIONS (CONTINUED)	AFFILIATE DESCRIPTIONS (2 OF 2) Humane Society International EIN #52-1769464 (HSI), founded in 1991, educates audiences worldwide about compassion toward animals; carries out direct animal care, rescue, and disaster response; provides technical and scientific support to local partners; and seeks to increase the priority given to animal protection issues by policy-makers, industry, and civil society around the world. HSI's core campaigns focus on the humane management of street animals via sterilization and vaccination in much of Asia, Latin America, and South America; the elimination of the dog meat trade in Asia; an end to the confinement of farm animals in battery cages and gestation crates in India, Brazil, Mexico, and elsewhere; a worldwide phase-out of animal testing for human and environmental hazard and risk assessment; a halt to the killing of seals for commercial purposes; the cessation of shark finning and shark fin soup consumption; an end to trophy hunting and poaching of endangered and threatened species; and the restriction of mercy release programs that encourage the capture and subsequent release of wild animals. HSI works aggressively against the illicit global wildlife trade (via participation in CITES and other activities), advances efforts to stop commercial whaling (via the International Whaling Commission), and seeks to improve wildlife protection mechanisms in international trade negotiations. HSI also campaigns against trapping and ranching of animals for fur garments, and promotes wildlife contraception as a humane way to manage wildlife populations (particularly elephants) without the stress of capture and translocation or culling. In addition, HSI responds to cases of companion animal suffering (e.g. rescuing dogs from the dog meat trade in Asia or from puppy mills in Canada) and to disasters that affect animals by sending skilled responders and funding support when such incidents occur. HSI actively supports the education and development of humane organizations worldwide through educational and hands-on programs. Every year, HSI organizes an international track as part of Animal Care Expo, aimed specifically at international attendees. HSI also organizes and supports workshops across the world to enhance the capacity and skills of the international animal protection movement. As part of this approach, HSI has developed programs and technologies that facilitate high-volume sterilization of street dogs. These projects train veterinarians, veterinary technicians and animal handlers, change the way communities view street animals, and indirectly and directly enhance the capacity of local organizations while also improving the well-being of street animals. South Florida Wildlife Center EIN #23-7086391 (SFWC), incorporated in 1969, helps animals in South Florida's tri-county region (Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade). SFWC personnel restore mobility and function to injured wildlife, provide rehabilitative care in enriched, species-specific habitats, and whenever feasible release rehabilitated animals back into the wild. They also treat and place domestic, exotic and farm animals in need; and teach the public about living alongside our wild neighbors. In 2017, SFWC admitted 11,527 animals representing more than 300 species of birds, mammals, and reptiles, making it the highest volume wildlife trauma hospital and rehabilitation center in the nation. For their field rescue work in a tri-county area, staff members traveled 85,000 miles in 2017. SFWC's professional staff of forty people includes licensed veterinarians, licensed wildlife rehabilitators, and other animal care and rescue specialists who provide a full range of lifesaving veterinary and rehabilitative services to wild animals. SFWC also benefitted from 22,800 hours of volunteer and intern/extern service hours valued at $551,000. During Hurricane Irma, SFWC successfully evacuated, fostered, and (after the storm) returned close to 400 animal patients to its facility. Humane Society University EIN #27-0263498 (HSU), incorporated in 2008 as a private, non-profit institution, manages the higher education and professional training divisions of The HSUS. The organization was dissolved on September 12, 2017. HSU offers academic instruction, degree programs in animal studies, policy, advocacy, and humane leadership, and education programs to provide animal care and control professionals and others with advanced training in such areas as animal behavior, animal care, disaster response, humane education, law enforcement, and community coalition-building. The Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association EIN #22-2768664 (HSVMA) is committed to promoting veterinary leadership in animal advocacy, public education and direct care to aid animals in need. HSVMA's main program areas include communication, educational, legislative and regulatory efforts to promote animal welfare, continuing education events focusing on animal welfare issues, advocating for humane alternatives in veterinary education, and a direct care program called RAVS (Rural Area Veterinary Service) that provides medical treatment for animals on Native American reservations in the United States and remote locations abroad. During 2017, the RAVS program provided no-cost, quality veterinary medical care for more than 9,300 animals (for a total value of services exceeding $1.82 million). Approximately 140 professional volunteers (veterinarians and veterinary technicians) participated in the RAVS clinics, along with more than 200 veterinary students. HSVMA's accomplishments for 2017 include successful advocacy and professional education. HSVMA collected veterinary endorsements in support of welfare improvements in the areas of farm animal welfare, companion animal welfare, and the protection of wildlife; educated the profession and the public about farm animal, companion animal, and wildlife issues by distributing information via the HSVMA e-newsletter and at booths at veterinary conferences; and engaged in media outreach on companion animal, farm animal, and wildlife issues by submitting veterinary op-eds and letters to the editors to newspapers. HSVMA hosts a continuing education webinar series for veterinary professionals with an animal welfare focus. In 2017, HSVMA hosted six webinars on topics including behavioral issues, geriatric patients, obesity and animal welfare, bioethics and cost of veterinary care. HSVMA also hosted approximately 50 presentations on veterinary school campuses, reaching more than 2,000 veterinary students on topics ranging from early-age sterilization and puppy mills to feral cat issues and field service work through the RAVS program. Project Chimps (EIN # 47-1439557) was incorporated in July 2014 in anticipation of the need for a sanctuary to house privately-owned chimpanzees coming out of research laboratories. Sept. 14, 2015 marked the effective end of invasive experiments on chimpanzees, with all chimps, both wild and captive, receiving protections under the Endangered Species Act, after a decades-long fight to end the use of chimpanzees in invasive research. It was evident that the established primate sanctuaries, already collectively caring for more than 500 chimpanzees (with some slated to absorb the federally-owned chimp population), could not accommodate an influx of more than 250 privately-owned chimpanzees coming from labs. The sanctuary was founded to provide lifetime care for former research chimpanzees, and currently 39 chimpanzees reside at the 236 acre sanctuary in Blue Ridge, Georgia. In 2015, Project Chimps reached a historic agreement with the University of Louisiana's New Iberia Research Center, holder of the largest population of privately-owned chimps in the US - to move its entire population of over 200 chimpanzees over the next few years to the sanctuary - setting the stage for the extraordinary opportunity to make sanctuary life a reality for all privately-owned lab chimps.
