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 $23,462,999 to TARGET MARKETEAM, INC. AND $49,328 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 TWO FUNDRAISING VENDORS WHERE THE ORGANIZATION MADE PAYMENTS EXCLUSIVELY FOR FUNDRAISING EXPENSES BUT NOT FOR PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISING SERVICES. THESE VENDORS HANDLE TASKS SUCH AS PRINTING, PROCESSING AND 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.

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 DEVELOPMENT OF LOVING, REWARDING, AND LASTING COMPANION ANIMAL-HUMAN BONDS, 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. THE PROGRAM 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 NEW WAY TO FOCUS ON PEOPLE AND PETS. THIS BUILDS STRONG RELATIONSHIPS AND TRUST WITHIN A LARGELY UNREACHED AND OVERLOOKED DEMOGRAPHIC OF PET OWNERS. IN 2015, THE PFL PROGRAM REACHED A NEW MILESTONE - 100,000 PETS SERVED, AND IN 2016, PETS FOR LIFE SERVED 30,000 PETS, PROVIDING DIRECT CARE TO MORE THAN 13,000 PETS IN OUR FOUR CORE CITIES OF ATLANTA, CHICAGO, LOS ANGELES, AND PHILADELPHIA. PETS ARE WELCOME: THE HSUS "PETS ARE WELCOME" CAMPAIGN SEEKS TO TRANSFORM PET POLICIES IN THE HOUSING INDUSTRY TO BENEFIT ANIMALS AND TO ALLOW PEOPLE AND PETS TO STAY TOGETHER. THE CAMPAIGN REACHES OUT TO STAKEHOLDERS WITHIN THE HOUSING SECTOR TO UPDATE POLICIES THAT IMPEDE THE HUMAN-ANIMAL BOND, SUCH AS THOSE INVOLVING DECLAWING, WEIGHT LIMITS, AND BREED RESTRICTIONS. PUPPY MILLS CAMPAIGN: 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) THERE ARE CURRENTLY ONLY FOUR STATES WITH KNOWN CHAMBERS IN ACTIVE USE NATIONWIDE, DOWN FROM 16 WHEN THE HSUS LAUNCHED ITS GAS CHAMBER CAMPAIGN IN 2013. IN NOVEMBER, A FEDERAL COURT DISMISSED A CHALLENGE TO A NEW YORK CITY ORDINANCE RESTRICTING THE SALE OF PUPPY MILL DOGS IN PET STORES. THIS WAS THE SIXTH FEDERAL COURT RULING TO UPHOLD LOCAL RESTRICTIONS ON THE SALE OF PUPPY MILL DOGS IN 2015. OVER 70 LOCAL ORDINANCES HAVE BEEN ENACTED IN THE LAST FEW YEARS TO CRACK DOWN ON RETAIL SALES OF PUPPY MILL DOGS. EQUINE PROTECTION: IN 2016, 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 AND SECURED 273 COSPONSORS IN THE 114th CONGRESS. THE USDA ANNOUNCED AN ANTI-HORSE SORING RULE; HOWEVER, IT FAILED TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER IN A TIMELY MANNER, AND DID NOT TAKE EFFECT. 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 200 COSPONSORS IN THE 114th CONGRESS. THE HSUS SECURED "NO SLAUGHTER" PLEDGES FROM MORE BREEDERS, BRINGING THE TOTAL NUMBER OF BREEDERS WHO HAVE MADE THE COMMITMENT IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS TO 1,300. THE HSUS AND HSI SUCCESSFULLY LOBBIED THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION TO ADOPT A SIX-MONTH RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT FOR HORSEMEAT IMPORTS FROM ALL NON-EU COUNTRIES. THE HSUS IS WORKING HARD TO ENSURE THAT THE SUSPENSION ON HORSEMEAT IMPORTS FROM MEXICO REMAINS IN PLACE. IN 2016, THE HSUS CONTINUED ITS EFFORTS TO PROMOTE THE HUMANE MANAGEMENT OF WILD HORSES AND BURROS ON PUBLIC LANDS. THE HSUS BEGAN A PROGRAM TO TREAT FREE-ROAMING HORSES IN VIEQUES, PUERTO RICO. THE HSUS ALSO SUCCESSFULLY RALLIED AGAINST THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT'S NATIONAL WILD HORSE AND BURRO ADVISORY BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION TO EUTHANIZE ALL HORSES CURRENTLY IN GOVERNMENT HOLDING FACILITIES. FINALLY, THE HSUS SECURED A PROMISE FROM THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT THAT THE AGENCY REMAINED COMMITTED TO ITS ANTI-SLAUGHTER STANCE. ANIMAL RESEARCH ISSUES: THE PROTECTION AND 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. WITH OUR SUPPORT, LEGISLATORS INSERTED FAVORABLE LANGUAGE INTO THE FRANK R. LAUTENBERG CHEMICAL SAFETY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY ACT, MANDATING THAT ANIMALS ONLY BE USED AS A LAST RESORT, REQUIRING THE USE OF EXISTING VALIDATED ALTERNATIVES, AND PRIORITIZING RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF NEW METHODS. IN THE PRODUCT TESTING ARENA, THE HSUS LED WORK ON FEDERAL LEGISLATION, THE HUMANE COSMETICS ACT (HCA), WHICH WOULD 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 COMMITTEES 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. THE HSUS PLAYED A ROLE IN THE EFFORT TO INCREASE THE BUDGET FOR THE NIH'S NATIONAL CENTER FOR ADVANCING TRANSLATIONAL SCIENCES, BY $53 MILLION. THE CENTER INVESTS RESOURCES IN TECHNOLOGIES SUCH AS THE "HUMAN ON A CHIP PROGRAM." 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 (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.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4c DIRECT CARE AND SERVICE (CONTINUED)	A LARGE PORTION OF THE HSUS'S WORK ON DIRECT CARE AND SERVICE COMES VIA SUCH AFFILIATED ENTITIES AS THE FUND FOR ANIMALS, THE SOUTH FLORIDA WILDLIFE CENTER, HUMANE SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL, THE HUMANE SOCIETY WILDLIFE LAND TRUST, AND THE HUMANE SOCIETY VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, WHICH, TOGETHER, CARE FOR, RESCUE, REHABILITATE, AND PROTECT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS YEARLY. FOR FURTHER DETAILS, SEE ENTRIES CONCERNING THE FUND FOR ANIMALS AND THE HSUS SOUTH FLORIDA WILDLIFE CENTER ON SCHEDULE O, THE FUND FOR ANIMALS 2016 FORM 990, THE HSUS SOUTH FLORIDA WILDLIFE CENTER 2016 FORM 990, THE HUMANE SOCIETY VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION ENTRY ON SCHEDULE O, AND THE HUMANE SOCIETY VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION 2016 FORM 990. 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 2016, THE ANIMAL RESCUE TEAM DEPLOYED 13 TIMES AND RESCUED 2093 ANIMALS FROM SITUATIONS OF EXTREME CRUELTY AND DISASTER. OF THE ANIMALS RESCUED, 685 WERE FROM PUPPY MILLS, 169 FROM ANIMAL FIGHTING OPERATIONS, AND 497 FROM HOARDING AND NEGLECT CASES. DURING THE YEAR, THE ANIMAL RESCUE TEAM ASSISTED AND/OR RELOCATED 742 ANIMALS AFFECTED BY FLOODING. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ITS 130 DOGFIGHTING RESCUE COALITION PARTNERS, THE HSUS PLACED 62 SURVIVORS OF DOGFIGHTING. THE ANIMAL RESCUE TEAM FIELDED MORE THAN 6450 COMPLAINTS OF ILLEGAL ANIMAL CRUELTY AND FIGHTING AND PAID 18 REWARDS FOR TIPS THAT RESULTED IN SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTIONS AND ANIMALS RESCUED, 12 OF WHICH INVOLVED DOGFIGHTING AND 6 COCKFIGHTING CASES. THIS MEANT PAYMENT OF $52,000 FOR DOGFIGHTING REWARDS, AND $30,000 FOR COCKFIGHTING REWARDS, DURING 2016. SINCE 2007, THE HSUS HAS PAID OUT A TOTAL OF 204 REWARDS IN CONNECTION WITH ITS ANIMAL FIGHTING, ANIMAL CRUELTY, AND PUPPY MILL TIP LINES. THE ANIMAL RESCUE TEAM VOLUNTEER PROGRAM DEPLOYED 116 VOLUNTEERS TO ASSIST IN FIVE CASES; THOSE VOLUNTEERS LOGGED 2,989 HOURS IN THE SERVICE OF RESCUED ANIMALS. PETS FOR LIFE: THE HSUS PETS FOR LIFE PROGRAM SERVED 12,394 PETS, PROVIDED 9,247 SPAY/NEUTER SERVICES, AND DELIVERED 45,736 SERVICES/SUPPLIES (FLEA/TICK MEDICATION, DEWORMER, CRATES, LITTER BOXES, FOOD, MEDICAL CARE, ETC.), IN FOUR MARKETS (ATLANTA, CHICAGO, LOS ANGELES, AND PHILADELPHIA) DURING 2016. NYBC CHIMPANZEES: THE HSUS STEPPED INTO A DIRE SITUATION IN LIBERIA, AFRICA, WHERE OVER 60 CHIMPANZEES ONCE USED IN BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH WERE FACING STARVATION AND DEATH. IN MARCH 2015, THE NEW YORK BLOOD CENTER (NYBC) ABANDONED THESE ANIMALS, WHICH IT HAD USED IN EXPERIMENTS FOR THREE DECADES. THE HSUS PROVIDED EMERGENCY FUNDS FOR CRITICAL NEEDS, INCLUDING REPAIR OF WATER SYSTEMS FOR THE ISLAND ON WHICH THE CHIMPANZEES LIVE, AND ARRANGEMENTS FOR DAILY FEEDINGS. THE HSUS CONTRACTED WITH TWO GREAT APE CONSULTANTS WHO HAVE WORKED WITH A LOCAL TEAM TO IMPROVE THE CARE AND HEALTH OF THE ANIMALS. THE HSUS HAS ALSO BEEN PROVIDING CARE TO EIGHT YOUNG CHIMPANZEES WHO ARE VICTIMS OF THE BUSH MEAT AND PET TRADES, WHILE WORKING TO CREATE A SANCTUARY IN LIBERIA TO PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY, LIFETIME CARE TO CURRENT AND FUTURE CHIMPANZEE RESIDENTS. THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 700 CHIMPANZEES IN LABORATORIES THAT NEED TO BE RETIRED TO SANCTUARIES. PRIMARILY THROUGH ITS AFFILIATE, PROJECT CHIMPS, THE HSUS WILL AID IN THE ONGOING CARE OF HUNDREDS OF CHIMPANZEES. PROJECT CHIMPS CLOSED ON THE LAND PURCHASE FOR 186 ACRES IN NORTHERN GEORGIA TO USE AS A SANCTUARY. IN 2016, PROJECT CHIMPS ANNOUNCED ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH NEW IBERIA RESEARCH CENTER (NIRC) TO RETIRE MORE THAN 200 CHIMPANZEES; SIXTEEN HAVE ALREADY MADE THEIR WAY TO THE SANCTUARY IN GEORGIA, WHERE THEY WILL BE PROVIDED WITH LIFETIME CARE. MORE CHIMPANZEES WILL MOVE TO THE SANCTUARY IN 2017. HUMANE WILDLIFE SERVICES: IN 2016, HUMANE WILDLIFE SERVICES (HWS), WHICH PROVIDES WILDLIFE-CONFLICT SOLUTION SERVICES TO HOMEOWNERS, BUSINESSES, AND INDUSTRY IN THE WASHINGTON DC AND SOUTH FLORIDA METRO AREAS, RESCUED SEVERAL THOUSAND URBAN ANIMALS FROM HARM WHILE PROVIDING LONG-LASTING SOLUTIONS TO HUMAN -WILDLIFE CONFLICTS. HWS DISPENSED FREE CONFLICT RESOLUTION RESOURCES AND ADVICE TO CALLERS, AND PROVIDED WILDLIFE-CONFLICT TRAINING SERVICES TO ANIMAL CARE AND CONTROL PROFESSIONALS, MUNICIPALITIES AND COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE US. WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT: THE HSUS ACTIVELY PROMOTES SURGICAL STERILIZATION AS WELL AS IMMUNOCONTRACEPTION AS NON-LETHAL ALTERNATIVES TO CRUEL, INEFFECTIVE LETHAL MANAGEMENT METHODS FOR SUBURBAN DEER POPULATIONS AND PRESENTS THESE ALTERNATIVES TO SELECT TOWNS AS VIABLE DEER MANAGEMENT TOOLS. HSUS WILDLIFE STAFF MEMBERS COMPLETED THEIR THIRD YEAR OF WORK AT THE VILLAGE OF HASTINGS-ON-HUDSON, NEW YORK, TO HUMANELY STABILIZE AND REDUCE THE LOCAL DEER POPULATION THROUGH IMMUNOCONTRACEPTION. THEY ALSO PARTICIPATED IN A DEER SURGICAL STERILIZATION PROJECT IN CINCINNATI, OHIO. FINALLY, THE HSUS LAUNCHED A STERILIZATION INITIATIVE FOR HORSES IN VIEQUES, PUERTO RICO, USING IMMUNOCONTRACEPTION. VOLUNTEER OUTREACH: THE HSUS VOLUNTEER OUTREACH DEPARTMENT STANDS AT THE HEART OF THE HSUS'S EFFORTS TO PROMOTE ANIMAL WELFARE VOLUNTEERISM IN GENERAL AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENGAGEMENT WITH THE HSUS AND ITS AFFILIATES, VIA EMERGENCY RESPONSE DEPLOYMENT, ANIMAL CARE, COMMUNITY OUTREACH, MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS, INTERNSHIPS, AND CITIZEN ADVOCACY. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES SUPPORTERS WITH SUGGESTIONS FOR VOLUNTEERISM AND HELPS LINK THEM TO SPECIFIC CHANNELS WHERE VOLUNTEER SERVICE IS NEEDED. VOLUNTEER OUTREACH MANAGES A VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT AND GRASSROOTS DATABASE TO CAPTURE SUPPORTERS' INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES, AND ENGAGE THEM FURTHER IN OUR WORK. IN 2016, THE DEPARTMENT SUPPORTED THE INVOLVEMENT OF 2300 VOLUNTEERS WHO PERFORMED OVER 132,000 HOURS OF SERVICE, PLUS AN ADDITIONAL 170 INTERNS WHO WORKED OVER 42,500 HOURS ON BEHALF OF THE HSUS AND ITS AFFILIATES. THE PROGRAM HAS BOLSTERED OR DEVELOPED THE ENGAGEMENT OF VOLUNTEERS AND INTERNS IN 95 DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS AND PROGRAMS ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION AND PROVIDES VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT TRAINING AND RESOURCES TO MANAGERS OF VOLUNTEERS THROUGHOUT THE ANIMAL PROTECTION FIELD. HUMANE SOCIETY VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION: PRIMARILY THROUGH ITS AFFILIATE, THE HUMANE SOCIETY VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (HSVMA), THE HSUS PROVIDES DIRECT CARE SERVICES TO ANIMALS IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES BOTH WITHIN AND OUTSIDE OF THE BORDERS OF THE UNITED STATES. FOR FURTHER DETAILS, SEE THE HUMANE SOCIETY VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION ENTRY ON SCHEDULE O, OR THE HUMANE SOCIETY VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION 2016 FORM 990. INTERNATIONAL: PRIMARILY THROUGH ITS AFFILIATE, HUMANE SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL (HSI), THE HSUS PROTECTS ANIMALS BEYOND THE BORDERS OF THE UNITED STATES, BECAUSE ANIMAL PROTECTION CONCERNS HAVE A STRONG INTERNATIONAL DIMENSION. FOR FURTHER DETAILS, SEE THE HUMANE SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL ENTRY ON SCHEDULE O, OR THE HUMANE SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL 2016 FORM 990.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d DESCRIPTION OF OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES	CORPORATE POLICY 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 2016, 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 MORE OF THE FOOD INDUSTRY'S TOP NAMES -- WALMART, KROGER, KRAFT HEINZ, SAFEWAY, AND OTHERS, 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. PERDUE, THE FOURTH LARGEST POULTRY PRODUCER IN THE UNITED STATES, ALONG WITH COMPASS GROUP AND ARAMARK, TWO OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST FOOD SERVICE COMPANIES, TOOK STEPS TO ADDRESS KEY CONCERNS REGARDING THE SUFFERING THESE BIRDS ENDURE, INCLUDING RAPID GROWTH RATES, LIVING CONDITIONS, STOCKING DENSITY, AND SLAUGHTER. THE HSUS HOSTED A SERIES OF "FOOD FORWARD" EVENTS NATIONWIDE, TRAINING NEARLY 700 FOOD SERVICE PROFESSIONALS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PROGRAMS LIKE MEATLESS MONDAY, TO REDUCE THE SUFFERING OF ANIMALS ON FACTORY FARMS. WITH THE HSUS'S HELP, DOZENS OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS INSTITUTED MEATLESS DAYS. WILDLIFE PROTECTION: SEAWORLD, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HSUS, ANNOUNCED IT WOULD NO LONGER BREED ORCAS AND WOULD PHASE OUT ITS THEATRICAL ORCA PERFORMANCES. THE NATIONAL AQUARIUM IN BALTIMORE ANNOUNCED IT WOULD MOVE ITS EIGHT ATLANTIC BOTTLENOSE DOLPHINS TO A SEASIDE SANCTUARY. PET STORE CONVERSIONS: THE PUPPY MILL CAMPAIGN ASSISTED IN CONVERTING FIVE 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 5,000 SHELTER DOGS HAVE BEEN SAVED.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4a EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT	CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 4A (2 OF 3) 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 "KEEPING CATS IN HOMES," A TEN-WEEK COURSE ON CAT BEHAVIOR COUNSELING; A WEBINAR SERIES; AND A "GUIDE TO CAT BEHAVIOR COUNSELING." IN 2016, STAFF MEMBERS PARTICIPATED IN THE "HUMANE COMMUNITIES" SYMPOSIUM WHICH DREW 225 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 COLLABORATION OF THE HSUS, THE AD COUNCIL, AND MADDIE'S FUND, THE SHELTER PET PROJECT SPONSORS 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 2016, THE SHELTER PET PROJECT PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS RAN MORE THAN 1.6 MILLION TIMES IN PRINT, RADIO, TELEVISION, INTERACTIVE, AND OUT-OF-HOME ADVERTISING. THE TOTAL DONATED REVENUE WAS $59,011,227. SINCE THE CAMPAIGN'S LAUNCH IN 2009, THE ANNOUCEMENTS HAVE RUN MORE THAN 7 MILLION TIMES ($345.2 MILLION IN FREE ADVERTISING), AND THE CAMPAIGN IS EXPECTED TO GENERATE AN ADDITIONAL $45 MILLION IN FUTURE ADVERTISING IN 2017. 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 37 PERCENT OF DOGS AND 46 PERCENT OF CATS IN AMERICAN HOMES WERE ADOPTED FROM SHELTERS OR RESCUE GROUPS. IN 2016, THE SHELTER PET PROJECT RANKED SECOND IN DONATED MEDIA AMONG CURRENT AD COUNCIL CAMPAIGNS. THE CAMPAIGN PARTNERED WITH FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, WAZE, AND HALLMARK, AMONG OTHER MEDIA PARTNERS, TO MAXIMIZE REACH AND EFFECTIVENESS. 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 PETS THAT DO LOSE 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.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4a EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT	CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 4A (3 OF 3) 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 2016, HSISP EXPANDED ITS DIGITAL ASSET REPOSITORY -- A CURATED ON-LINE LIBRARY -- TO FACILITATE ACCESS TO USEFUL ANIMAL WELFARE DOCUMENTS FOR A BROAD AUDIENCE. HSISP ALSO SUPPORTS AN OPEN-ACCESS ONLINE JOURNAL, THE JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SENTIENCE, WHICH PUBLISHES ACADEMIC PAPERS AND DISCUSSIONS ON THE QUESTION OF ANIMAL FEELING, PAIN AND SUFFERING. OVER 200 ARTICLES HAVE BEEN DOWNLOADED FROM THE REPOSITORY IN THE PAST TWO YEARS, AND ARTICLES FROM ANIMAL SENTIENCE WERE DOWNLOADED 30,000 TIMES IN ITS FIRST EIGHTEEN MONTHS OF EXISTENCE (WELL ABOVE THE AVERAGE DOWNLOAD NUMBER OF A NEW ACADEMIC JOURNAL). HUMANE SOCIETY ACADEMY: THROUGH HUMANE SOCIETY ACADEMY (HSA), THE HSUS PROVIDES PROFESSIONAL TRAINING AND EDUCATION FOR STAFF MEMBERS AND EXTERNAL AUDIENCES. HUMANE SOCIETY ACADEMY ALSO PROVIDES INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO SUPPORT TEACHERS AND HUMANE EDUCATORS. IN 2016, THE HSUS REACHED HUNDREDS OF EDUCATORS THROUGH THE ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSIONAL HUMANE EDUCATORS (APHE) CONFERENCE, THE UTAH HUMANE EDUCATION SYMPOSIUM, WORKSHOPS HELD WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IN PUERTO RICO, ONLINE WEBINARS, AND THE HSUS'S CERTIFIED HUMANE EDUCATION SPECIALIST PROGRAM. MORE THAN 390,000 STUDENTS FROM KINDERGARTEN TO 6TH GRADE IN 13,000 CLASSROOMS RECEIVED AGE-APPROPRIATE MESSAGES ABOUT ANIMALS AND KINDNESS IN KIND NEWS. THROUGH THE ADOPT-A-CLASSROOM PROGRAM, KIND NEWS REMAINED AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE HUMANE EDUCATION RESOURCE. THE HSUS ALSO MANAGED THE SHAW-WORTH AND FLORENCE KAUFELT STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS, AND HONORED THE NATIONAL HUMANE TEACHER WITH A SPECIAL AWARD. 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 3,000 OF THESE TOOL KITS WERE ORDERED IN 2016. THE PROGRAM MANAGES MORE THAN 550 FAITH OUTREACH VOLUNTEER AND ALLIES. THIS GRASSROOTS NETWORK WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE THAN 200 ACTIONS INCLUDING FILM SCREENINGS, COLLECTION DRIVES, AND PUBLISHED MEDIA AND ENDORSEMENTS. IN 2016, THE PROGRAM PROVIDED ASSISTANCE FOR HSUS CAMPAIGNS AND PUBLIC POLICY PRIORITIES BY FACILITATING SUPPORT FROM FAITH LEADERS AND THREE HSUS FAITH COUNCILS. FAITH OUTREACH ALSO PUBLISHED A BOOK, EVERY LIVING THING: HOW POPE FRANCIS, EVANGELICALS AND OTHER CHRISTIAN LEADERS ARE INSPRING ALL OF US TO CARE FOR ANIMALS. THE PROGRAM'S WORK WAS FEATURED BY NOTABLE OUTLETS INCLUDING THE WASHINGTON POST AND USA TODAY. RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND OUTREACH: THE SECTION PARTNERS WITH FARMERS TO CONFRONT THREAST AND ACTIVITIES THAT UNDERMINE THE FAMILY FARM IN AMERICA, AND SEEKS TO AMPLIFY THE VOICES OF FARMERS WHO REJECT INHUMANE CONFINEMENT PRACTICES AND WANT TO PRESERVE FAMILY FARMS. THROUGHOUT 2016, THE HSUS STRENGTHENED ITS COLLABORATION WITH FARMERS COMMITTED TO HUMANE AND SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AND THE STRONGEST STANDARDS OF ANIMAL CARE. THE HSUS WORKED WITH RANK-AND-FILE FARMERS TO CREATE A NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL WITH FARMERS REPRESENTING SIX STATES, WHILE MAINTAINING STATE AGRICULTURAL COUNCILS IN COUNCILS IN MISSOURI, INDIANA, NORTH CAROLINA, WISCONSIN, MICHIGAN, OKLAHOMA, COLORADO, IOWA, NEBRASKA, AND OHIO, AND THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COUNCIL, COMPRISED OF FARMERS IN WASHINGTON, IDAHO AND OREGON. 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. CELEBRITY OUTREACH: THE HSUS'S CELEBRITY OUTREACH PROGRAM WORKS WITH INFLUENTIAL PUBLIC FIGURES FROM ENTERTAINMENT, INCLUDING ACTORS, MUSICIANS, ATHLETES, AUTHORS, AND FILMMAKERS, TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THE HSUS'S CORE CAMPAIGNS AND PROGRAMS THROUGH EVENTS, PRINT ADVERTISEMENT AND VIDEO CAMPAIGNS, EXPOSES, AND OTHER ADVOCACY EFFORTS SUCH AS PUBLIC APPEALS, SOCIAL MEDIA ACTIVITY, OPINION PIECES, AND ENDORSEMENTS FOR HUMANE LEGISLATION AND HUMANE CORPORATE ADVANCES. IN 2016, SUPPORTERS KATE MARA AND ROONEY MARA VISITED LIBERIA, WEST AFRICA WITH A TEAM FROM HSUS TO SEE MORE THAN 60 CHIMPANZEES ABANDONED BY THE NEW YORK BLOOD CENTER (NYBC) AFTER DECADES OF BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH AND NOW BEING CARED FOR BY THE HSUS AND HSI. OTHER DEDICATED CELEBRITY SUPPORTERS INCLUDE DARREN ARONOFSKY, KRISTEN BELL, JON BERNTHAL, JAMES CROMWELL, KALEY CUOCO, EDIE FALCO, RYAN GOSLING, WOODY HARRELSON, ANJELICA HUSTON, KESHA, MARTHA STEWART, BARBARA STREISAND, GOLDEN TATE, CHASE UTLEY, AND BETTY WHITE. THE LOS ANGELES OFFICE ACTS AS ADVISER FOR A VARIETY OF FILM AND TELEVISION PROJECTS -- BOTH DOCUMENTARY AND NARRATIVE -- TO ENSURE AND PROMOTE HUMANE MESSAGING, AND ENCOURAGES FILMMAKERS TO INVEST IN AND COMMIT TO ALTERNATIVES TO THE USE OF EXOTIC ANIMAL ACTORS IN THEIR PRODUCTIONS. THE FINEST WORKS IN TELEVISION, FILM, AND JOURNALISM ARE CELEBRATED EACH SPRING WITH AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF WINNERS OF THE REVERED 'GENESIS AWARD.' FILM PARTNERSHIPS HAVE INCLUDED THE GROUNDBREAKING DOCUMENTARY BLACKFISH, THROUGH MAGNOLIA PICTURES, AND THE GLOBAL BLOCKBUSTER, NOAH, THROUGH PARAMOUNT PICTURES.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b PUBLIC POLICY AND ENFORCEMENT (CONTINUED)	CONTINUED FROM PART III, 4B (2 OF 5) WILDLIFE: THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE FINALIZED A RULE PROHIBITING CRUEL HUNTING METHODS AND RUTHLESS "PREDATOR CONTROL" CULLS ON MORE THAN 76 MILLION ACRES OF NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE LANDS IN ALASKA. THE HSUS PUBLIC POLICY TEAM ADVANCED THIS PROPOSAL TO THE US FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE AND PROVIDED INFORMATION IN SUPPORT OF THE POSITION ADOPTED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. VOTERS IN OREGON APPROVED A BALLOT INITIATIVE, MEASURE 100, BY A 70-30 VOTE. THE HSUS PROVIDED PRACTICAL AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO THE STATE COMMITTEE ORGANIZED TO PROMOTE ADOPTION OF THIS MEASURE. THE MEASURE BANNED THE INTRASTATE TRADE OF 12 TYPES OF ANIMALS MOST TARGETED BY WILDLIFE TRAFFICKERS, WHILE A STATE COURT JUDGE IN CALIFORNIA UPHELD A SIMILAR LAW THAT THE HSUS HAD HELPED TO PASS IN THAT STATE. THE HSUS, WITH COALITION PARTNERS IN WYOMING, SUCCESSFULLY DEFEATED A BILL THAT WOULD HAVE LEGALIZED THE TRAPPING AND SNARING OF MOUTAIN LIONS, AND WYOMING ALSO APPROVED REDUCED HUNTING QUOTAS FOR MOUNTAIN LIONS IN KEY ECOSYSTEMS IN AND AROUND THE GRAND TETON REGION. THE HSUS ALSO FENDED OFF AN ATTEMPT TO INCREASE MOUNTAIN LION HUNTING TROPHY QUOTAS IN WASHINGTON STATE. THE FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION VOTED TO FOREGO ITS CONTROVERSIAL BLACK BEAR HUNT, AND THE HSUS JOINED AS COPETITIONER TO LIST THE FLORIDA BLACK BEAR AS ENDANGERED UNDER THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT. THE HSUS CONTINUED TO FIGHT A PROPOSAL BY THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE TO PREMATURELY REMOVE GRIZZLY BEARS IN THE GREATER YELLOWSTONE ECOSYSTEM FROM THE PROTECTIONS AFFORDED TO THEM UNDER THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT. THE HSUS RELEASED A REPORT, 'CECIL 2: TROPHY HUNTING AMERICA'S LION," HIGHLIGHTING THE FIVE MOST DANGEROUS STATES FOR COUGARS. THE HSUS CONTINUED TO DEMONSTRATE ITS LEADERSHIP IN THE FIGHT TO KEEP DANGEROUS WILD ANIMALS FROM BECOMING PEOPLE'S PETS. A LOOPHOLE IN THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT REGULATIONS WAS CLOSED, SO THAT ALL CAPTIVE TIGERS IN THE UNITED STATES WILL BE TREATED AS EQUAL UNDER THAT LAW, WHICH SHOULD HELP TO PROHIBIT THE BREEDING OF TIGERS FOR SALE IN THE EXOTIC PET TRADE. THE USDA TOOK PRELIMINARY ACTION BY ISSUING A FORMAL NOTICE THAT PUBLIC CONTACT WITH BIG CATS FOUR WEEKS OF AGE OR YOUNGER IS A VIOLATION OF THE ANIMAL WELFARE ACT. THE NEW HAMPSHIRE FISH AND GAME COMMISSION VOTED TO WITHDRAW A PROPOSAL TO INITIATE A BOBCAT HUNTING, HOUNDING, AND TRAPPING SEASON. THE HSUS ALSO HELPED TO KILOL A BILL IN IOWA THAT WOULD HAVE DOUBLED THE AMOUNT OF BOBCATS THAT COULD BE KILLED. THE VERMONT FISH AND WILDLIFE BOARD VOTED DOWN A PROPOSAL TO EXPAND BOBCAT HUNTING SEASON IN THAT STATE. THE HSUS BLOCKED INCLUSION OF A RIDER TO DELIST WOLVES IN THE GREAT LAKES AND WYOMING. THE STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS SIDED WITH WOLF PROTECTION ADVOCATES, AND DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL THE MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE'S ATTEMPT TO FORCE A TROPHY- HUNTING AND TRAPPING SEASON ON THE STATE'S SMALL POPULATION OF WOLVES. 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.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b PUBLIC POLICY AND ENFORCEMENT (CONTINUED)	CONTINUED FROM PART III, 4B (3 OF 5) IN 2016, APL WON A NUMBER OF SIGNIFICANT CASES. IT OVERTURNED A MICHIGAN LAW OPENING A WOLF HUNTING SEASON THAT VOTERS HAD PREVIOUSLY REJECTED IN REFERENDUMS AT THE BALLOT BOX. IT WON A RULING DECLARING UNLAWFUL MILITARY SONAR ACTIVITIES THAT HARM WHALES AND OTHER MARINE MAMMALS. IN LITIGATION OVER THE FALSE ADVERTISING OF FUR GARMENTS APL SECURED A SETTLEMENT REQUIRING SAKS AND LORD & TAYLOR TO PHASE OUT USE OF FUR FROM RACCOON DOGS, WHICH ARE AMONG THE MOST CRUELLY TREATED ANIMALS IN THE FUR INDUSTRY. IT ALSO FORCED A LARGE CHICAGO-BASED PET STORE CHAIN TO STOP SOURCING PUPPIES FROM PUPPY MILLS AND OTHER DISREPUTABLE BREEDERS. APL'S LEGAL PETITIONS TO FEDERAL AGENCIES ALSO GENERATED NEW PROTECTIONS FOR ANIMALS. THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE ISSUED A FINAL RULE BANNING THE SLAUGHTER OF DOWNED VEAL CALVES TOO SICK TO STAND OR WALK ON THEIR OWN, AND ISSUED A DECISION BANNING PUBLIC CONTACT WITH INFANT EXOTIC CATS UNDER THE ANIMAL WELFARE ACT, BOTH IN RESPONSE TO APL PETITIONS. AN HSUS COMPLAINT TO THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE ALSO RESULTED IN SANCTIONS AGAINST THE NATIONAL PORK BOARD FOR MAKING UNLAWFUL EXPENDITURES IN AN EFFORT TO THWART INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF THE BOARD'S FINANCIAL DEALINGS. THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE TOOK ACTION ON SEVERAL APL PETITIONS. THE RESULTS INCLUDED A DECISION TO DISALLOW THE IMPORT OF CAPTIVE-BRED LION HUNTING TROPHIES FROM SOUTH AFRICA, AND ELIMINATION OF A LOOPHOLE THAT HAD EXEMPTED NEARLY ALL CAPTIVE TIGERS FROM OVERSIGHT UNDER THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT. THE FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE ALSO ISSUED POSITIVE INITIAL FINDINGS ON OUR PETITIONS TO LIST AFRICAN ELEPHANTS AND AFRICAN LEOPARDS AS ENDANGERED SPECIES, WHICH WOULD RESTRICT IMPORT OF SPORT-HUNTED TROPHIES OF THESE ANIMALS, AND OUR PETITION TO LIST PANGOLINS UNDER THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT, WHICH WOULD RESTRICT COMMERCIAL TRADE IN THIS HEAVILY EXPLOITED BUT RARE SPECIES. AT THE STATE LEVEL, APL SUCCESSFULLY PETITIONED THE NEW HAMPSHIRE JOINT LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE ON ADMINISTRATIVE RULES TO BLOCK THE STATE WILDLIFE COMMISSION'S PROPOSAL TO OPEN A NEW BOBCAT TRAPPING SEASON FOR THE FIRST TIME IN STATE HISTORY. IN SEVERAL KEY CASES, APL WORKED WITH THE HSUS INVESTIGATIONS AND ANIMAL RESCUE & RESPONSE DEPARTMENTS TO EXPOSE ANIMAL CRUELTY AND PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION OF FINDINGS TO STATE AND FEDERAL AUTHORITIES. HSUS ATTORNEYS WORKED WITH AUTHORITIES IN WEST VIRGINIA TO HELP SECURE AN ANIMAL CRUELTY CONVICTION STEMMING FROM THE SEIZURE AND REMOVAL OF TWO DOZEN ANIMALS IN AN EXTREME STATE OF NEGLECT, AND THE DEFENDANT IS NOW PROHIBITED FROM OWNING OR RESIDING WITH ANIMALS FOR A PERIOD OF AT LEAST FIVE YEARS. APL ALSO BROUGHT INFORMATION OBTAINED IN AN HSUS INVESTIGATION OF A ROADSIDE ZOO IN VIRGINIA TO THE ATTENTION OF THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, WHICH RELIED ON AFFIDAVITS SUBMITTED BY THE HSUS IN DENYING THE ZOO OPERATOR'S APPLICATION FOR AN EXHIBITOR'S LICENSE. APL'S LEGISLATIVE GROUP DRAFTED NEARLY TWO DOZEN ANIMAL PROTECTION BILLS THAT WERE SUCCESSFULLY ENACTED, INCLUDING A PRECEDENT-SETTING BALLOT MEASURE IN MASSACHUSETTS THAT BANNED THE EXTREME CONFINEMENT OF EGG-LAYING HENS, VEAL CALVES AND GESTATING PIGS, AND THE SALE OF PRODUCTS FROM THESE ANIMALS. APL ALSO SUCCESSFULLY DEFENDED SEVERAL NEW ANIMAL PROTECTION LAWS IN COURT, INCLUDING CALIFORNIA LAWS BANNING THE SALE OF IVORY AND HORNS FROM ENDANGERED ELEPHANTS AND RHINOCEROUSES, AND THE SALE OF EGGS FROM CRUELLY CONFINED CHICKENS.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b PUBLIC POLICY AND ENFORCEMENT (CONTINUED)	CONTINUED FROM PART III, 4B (4 OF 5) STATE AFFAIRS: IN 2016, THE HSUS HELPED TO PASS 237 STATE AND LOCAL MEASURES TO PROTECT ANIMALS (98 LAWS, 23 RESOLUTIONS, AND 116 ORDINANCES), AND HELPED TO DEFEAT 69 HARMFUL MEASURES. AMONG THE HIGHLIGHTS: HAWAII AND OREGON BANNED THE TRADE IN IVORY; CALIFORNIA BANNED THE BREEDING OF CAPTIVE ORCAS; MASSACHUSETTS PASSED THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE LAW TO PROTECT FARM ANIMALS IN THE UNITED STATES; GEORGIA, ALASKA, AND WASHINGTON PASSED COST OF ANIMAL CARE LAWS; RHODE ISLAND AND CALIFORNIA BECAME THE FIRST TWO STATES TO PROHIBIT THE USE OF BULLHOOKS ON ELEPHANTS; MICHIGAN PASSED A LAW TO REGULATE PUPPY MILLS; OHIO, VERMONT, VIRGINIA, FLORIDA, MASSACHUSETTS, CALIFORNIA, AND PUERTO RICO PASSED LAWS CONCERNING DOGS IN HOT CARS; ARIZONA BANNED GREYHOUND RACING AND FLORIDA NOW REQUIRES INJURY REPORTING AT TRACKS; IDAHO AND OHIO MADE ANIMAL TORTURE AND CRUELTY A FELONY ON THE FIRST OFFENSIVE, WHILE OHIO MADE BESTIALITY ILLEGAL; OHIO MADE COCKFIGHTING A FELONY AND WEST VIRGINIA SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED ANIMAL FIGHTING PENALTIES; SOUTH CAROLINA, KANSAS, AND CALIFORNIA BANNED THE USE OF GAS CHAMBERS; 78 LOCALITIES IN 12 STATES PASSED ORDINANCES RESTRICTING THE SALE OF PUPPIES IN PET STORES; RHODE ISLAND PROHIBITED THE SALE AND TRADE OF SHARK FINS; AND INDIANA NOW REQUIRES ANIMALS ADOPTED FROM SHELTERS BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED. HUMANE STATE RANKINGS: IN 2016, 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, THE HSUS CONDUCTS UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATIONS INTO ANIMAL CRUELTY. IN 2016, THE HSUS CONDUCTED IN-DEPTH EXAMINATIONS OF IVORY AND OTHER EXOTIC ANIMAL PARTS SALES IN OREGON AND MARYLAND, INDIFFERENCE TO EXOTIC ANIMAL LIFE AT THE SAFARI CLUB INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL CONVENTION, AND THE FAILURE OF PET STORES TO COMPLY WITH NJ STATE LAWS GOVERNING THE SALE OF PUPPIES. OREGON AND MARYLAND WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING INVESTIGATIONS: RETAIL LOCATIONS ACROSS OREGON AND MARYLAND WERE INVESTIGATED FOR THE AVAILABILITY OF TRAFFICKED WILD ANIMAL PARTS. AN INVESTIGATOR FOUND MOSTLY ELEPHANT IVORY, BUT ALSO PANGOLIN SCALES, LEOPARD AND CHEETAH FUR, WHALE AND STINGRAY PARTS FOR SALE TO THE PUBLIC. ALMOST NONE OF THE STORE OWNERS AND CLERKS AT DOZENS OF RETAIL LOCATIONS IN THE TWO STATES COULD PROVIDE ANY PROOF THAT THE ITEMS FOR SALE WERE ANTIQUE AND THEREFORE NOT MADE FROM THE PARTS OF RECENTLY POACHED ANIMALS. TWO SEPARATE INVESTIGATIONS SUCCESSFULLY SUPPORTED INITIATIVES TO BAN THE SALE OF ITEMS MADE FROM THE PARTS OF IMPERILED ANIMALS. SAFARI CLUB INTERNATIONAL: SAFARI CLUB INTERNATIONAL'S ANNUAL LAS VEGAS CONVENTION, AN INTERNATIONAL MARKETPLACE FOR THE PAY-TO-KILL TROPHY HUNTING INDUSTRY, WAS ATTENDED BY TWO UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATORS. CONVERSATIONS WITH SOME OF THE 500 OR SO OUTFITTERS/EXHIBITORS SELLING TROPHY ANIMAL "HUNTS" WERE COVERTLY RECORDED WITH OUTFITTERS REVEALING CRUEL AND UNFAIR PRACTICES LIKE PRE-BAITING, TRAPPING, AND HUNTING WITH DOGS. SCI'S EVENING AUCTIONS WERE ALSO ATTENDED BY INVESTIGATORS, WHO DOCUMENTED BEAR, LEOPARD, WATER BUFFALO, AND OTHER LARGE EXOTIC ANIMALS SOLD FOR THRILL KILLING TO THE HIGHEST BIDDERS. NEW JERSEY PET STORE INVESTIGATION: AN UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION INTO NEW JERSEY PET STORES HAS REVEALED THAT THESE BUSINESSES PURCHASE PUPPIES FROM PUPPY MILLS WITH ANIMAL WELFARE ACT VIOLATIONS. HSUS INVESTIGATORS FOUND PUPPIES CONFINED TO SMALL, RUSTED CAGES, CRAVING HUMAN ATTENTION. OUT OF 29 STORES VISITED, SIX FAILED TO DISCLOSE BREEDER INFORMATION, AND ANOTHER CLAIMED THAT THEIR PUPPIES CAME FROM LOCAL BREEDERS BUT INFORMATION POSTED SHOWED THAT THEY ACTUALLY CAME FROM A LARGE-SCALE OPERATION IN IOWA. PUPPY MILLS CAMPAIGN: THE PUPPY MILLS CAMPAIGN HELPS TO RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATE PROBLEM PUPPY MILLS, OFTEN LEADING TO PUPPY MILL CLOSURES AND RESCUES. THROUGH OUR BREEDER SURRENDER FUND, THE CAMPAIGN ASSISTS SHELTERS IN CARING FOR DOGS DISCARDED FROM PUPPY MILLS THAT ARE CLOSING DOWN. THE CAMPAIGN CELEBRATED ITS 2016 PUPPY MILL ACTION WEEK NATIONWIDE DURING THE WEEK OF MOTHER'S DAY, RELEASING ITS FOURTH ANNUAL "HORRIBLE HUNDRED" REPORT, DOCUMENTING SPECIFIC PROBLEMS AT 100 PUPPY MILLS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE REPORT GENERATED DOZENS OF ARTICLES; BY THE END OF 2016, TWELVE OF THE BREEDERS LISTED IN THE REPORT HAD EITHER DROPPED THEIR LICENSES OR WERE SHUT 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 2016, 210 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; 101 OF THEM PASSED IN 2016 ALONE. THE CAMPAIGN SUPPORTED THREE SUCCESSFUL STATE BILLS CRACKING DOWN ON PUPPY MILLS IN 2016, INCLUDING LEGISLATION IN LOUISIANA AND MARYLAND TO PROHIBIT PET STORES FROM BUYING FROM BREEDERS WITH SOME OF THE WORST ANIMAL WELFARE ACT VIOLATIONS. THE CAMPAIGN ALSO ASSISTS PET STORES THAT ARE WILLING TO CONVERT TO OFFERING RESCUED PUPPIES FROM LOCAL SHELTERS INSTEAD OF SELLING DOGS FROM PUPPY MILLS, BY BUILDING BRIDGES WITH LOCAL SHELTERS AND FACILITATING TRANSPORT OF RESCUED DOGS. AS OF THE END OF 2016, MORE THAN 9,000 SHELTER DOGS AND PUPPIES HAD BEEN SAVED AS A RESULT OF THESE EFFORTS. BREED SPECIFIC LEGISLATION: THE HSUS WORKED HARD TO HASTEN THE DECLINE OF BREED SPECIFIC LEGISLATION (BSL), AND NO MEASURES PASSED ON THE STATE LEVEL. WITH SUPPORT FROM THE HSUS, AT LEAST A DOZEN COMMUNITIES REPEALED OR REJECTED BSL POLICIES DURING THE YEAR; 20 STATES NOW PROHIBIT LOCALITIES FROM ENACTING SUCH RESTRICTIONS ON DOGS. AG-GAG: AS IN RECENT YEARS, THE HSUS WORKED TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC AND LEGISLATORS ABOUT THE DANGER OF AG-GAG BILLS, WHICH SEEK TO STIFLE WHISTLEBLOWERS WHO EXPOSE CRUELTY AND ABUSE ON FACTORY FARMS. THE HSUS HELPED TO DEFEAT ONE IN TENNESSEE AND TO OVERCOME A MULTI-PRONGED BILL WITH AN AG-GAG COMPONENT IN ARIZONA. THE HSUS ALSO HELPED TO STIFLE "RIGHT TO FARM" CONSTITUTONAL AMENDMENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, FROM NEBRASKA TO INDIANA TO OKLAHOMA, WHERE A BALLOT MEASURE FAILED BY MORE THAN TWENTY POINTS. MASSACHUSETTS BALLOT INITIATIVE: WITH COALITION PARTNERS, THE HSUS HELPED TO SECURE PASSAGE OF A LANDMARK MASSACHUSETTS BALLOT INITIATIVE TO BAN THE CAGE CONFINEMENT OF FARM ANIMALS -- INCLUDING EGG-LAYING HENS, PIGS, AND CALVES -- AND THE SALE OF PRODUCTS COMING FROM SUCH SYSTEMS. THE MEASURE GAINED 78 PERCENT OF THE VOTE.
Form 990, Part III, Line 1 ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	THE HSUS IS THE NATION'S MOST INFLUENTIAL ANIMAL PROTECTION ORGANIZATION, WITH A DISTINCT MISSION, 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 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 AND OTHER ABUSES, AND INHUMANE SLAUGHTER AND FACTORY FARMING OF ANIMALS RAISED FOR FOOD. THE HSUS HAS DIVISIONS FOCUSING ON COMPANION ANIMALS; WILDLIFE AND MARINE ANIMALS AND THEIR 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. THE 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, THEY 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, WAGES 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 LAW ENFORCEMENT RAIDS; 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 ON-LINE AND TRADITIONAL COURSES AND WEBINARS). THE HSUS ALSO DELIVERS BENEFITS TO LOCAL ANIMAL WELFARE SOCIETIES THROUGH THE PURSUIT OF POLICY OBJECTIVES AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL THAT ADVANCE THE WORK OF SUCH SOCIETIES IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES. IN 2016 THE HSUS EMPLOYED 45 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; PARTICIPATED IN OR SUPPORTED HSUS FIELD RESCUE WORK REGARDING 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 COUNCILS, AND THE HSUS DISTRICT LEADER PROGRAM. THE HSUS IS APPROVED BY THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU WISE GIVING ALLIANCE (BBBWGA) FOR ALL 20 BBBWGA STANDARDS OF CHARITY ACCOUNTABILITY. IN 2011, THE HSUS WAS NAMED THE NUMBER-ONE ORGANIZATION BY PHILANTHROPEDIA (OF GUIDESTAR) IN ITS PEER-BASED RANKINGS OF NATIONAL ANIMAL PROTECTION GROUPS, BASED ON HIGHEST IMPACT.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b PUBLIC POLICY AND ENFORCEMENT (CONTINUED)	CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 4b (5 of 5) FEDERAL AFFAIRS: THE HSUS FEDERAL AFFAIRS SECTION FOCUSES ON SUPPORT OF FEDERAL ANIMAL PROTECTION LEGISLATION AND REGULATION. THE SECTION PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE IN SECURING LANGUAGE IN THE FY17 HOUSE AGRICULTURE APPROPRIATIONS BILL, WHICH WAS APPROVED BY THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE. THE BILL ALLOCATED $500,000 TO RENEW THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE ANIMAL AND PLANT HEALTH INSPECTION SERVICE (APHIS) AND THE ANIMAL RESEARCH SERVICE (ARS) TO PROVIDE ANIMAL WELFARE OVERSIGHT OVER ARS FACILITIES; SUSTAINED FUNDING FOR ENFORCEMENT OF THE HORSE PROTECTION ACT AND ANIMAL WELFARE ACT; AND RENEWED THE PROHIBITION OF LICENSING/RELICENSING "CLASS B" RANDOM SOURCE DEALERS OF ANIMALS; AND BARRED THE USDA FROM FUNDING INSPECTIONS AT HORSE SLAUGHTER PLANTS, EFFECTIVELY MAKING IT ILLEGAL TO SLAUGHTER HORSES FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION IN THIS COUNTRY. FEDERAL AFFAIRS ALSO ENCOURAGED LANGUAGE IN THE FY17 SENATE INTERIOR APPROPRIATIONS BILL IN SUPPORT OF EFFORTS TO END WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING, AND ALLOCATING OVER $75 MILLION FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES TO HELP COMBAT ILLEGAL GLOBAL WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LACEY ACT. FEDERAL AFFAIRS OPPOSED HARMFUL LANGUAGE PROPOSED DURING THE FY17 INTERIOR APPROPRIATIONS PROCESS BLOCKING THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE FROM CRACKING DOWN ON THE ILLICIT IVORY TRADE; AND UNDERMINING ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT PROTECTIONS FOR A NUMBER OF SPECIES, INCLUDING GRAY WOLVES. FEDERAL AFFAIRS ALSO OPPOSED LANGUAGE THAT WOULD PREVENT THE DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR FROM IMPLEMENTING TWO RULES BANNING CERTAIN HUNTING PRACTICES ON NATIONAL PRESERVE AND NATIONAL REFUGE LANDS IN ALASKA.

AFFILIATE DESCRIPTIONS	AFFILIATE DESCRIPTIONS FOR HSUS SCHEDULE O (PART 1 OF 2) The Humane Society of the United States and Affiliates (collectively, the Society) is a not-for-profit organization 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, celebrates and protects wild animals by creating and managing permanent sanctuaries; by preserving and enhancing natural habitat; and by confronting cruelty. HSWLT protects natural habitat in perpetuity and seeks to ensure that animals living on protected lands are not hunted or trapped. HSWLT maintains a portfolio of more than 112 permanent wildlife sanctuaries comprising over 19,000 acres and has been involved in the protection and conservation of habitat in nearly 40 states and nine countries, sanctuaries where 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 for protection. 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. These partnership efforts take the form of active consultation by HSWLT staff as well as limited financial participation for property acquisition, maintenance, enhancement, and protection. HSWLT has been involved in 30 such projects, involving two million acres in total. The Fund for Animals EIN #13-6218740 (FFA), since 2005, is the entity responsible for most of The Society's facilities including, for 2016, the Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch (TX), the Cape Wildlife Center (MA), 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, as well as promoting 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 42 species, rescued from abuse or abandonment. Rescued 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 has an extensive program to train other horse rescues important techniques to assist them in placement and adoption with new families. The Cape Wildlife Center in Barnstable, Massachusetts is a five-acre facility and model rehabilitation program that rehabilitates native and transitory wildlife, providing medical and rehabilitative treatment to injured and orphaned animals and releasing them back into the wild. The Center is an integral part of the Cape Cod community, advising people on humane solutions to human-wildlife conflicts, while supporting public policies that benefit wild animals and their habitats. In 2016, over 1,500 animals received care there, and the Center also assisted hundreds more animals through local telephone and in-person consultations with the public, animal control officers, veterinarians and others who found abandoned/injured animals and sought help. The 1,120-acre Duchess Sanctuary in Oakland, Oregon cares for about 200 formerly abused, abandoned, and neglected horses. Mares rescued from the pregnant mare urine (PMU) industry and their offspring make up the majority of the herd. 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 2016, approximately 800 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 30 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 2016, 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. (CONTINUED)
AFFILIATE DESCRIPTIONS (CONTINUED)	AFFILIATE DESCRIPTIONS (2 OF 2) Humane Society International EIN# 52-1769464 (HSI) Founded in 1991, HSI 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 worldwide. 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 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; 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 the 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 major disasters that affect animals by sending skilled responders and funding support when disasters 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). Staff members rescue, rehabilitate, and release harmed or displaced native wildlife; treat and place domestic, exotic and farm animals in need; and teach the public about living alongside our wild neighbors. In 2016, South Florida Wildlife Center admitted 12,358 species of birds, mammals and reptiles, making it the largest wildlife trauma hospital and rehabilitation center in the nation, based on intake numbers. The SFWC daily performs field rescues of injured, orphaned, and imperiled animals, covering thousands of miles a month to save lives. A professional staff of forty 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 in need. SFWC personnel restore mobility and function to injured wildlife, provide rehabilitative care in enriched, species-specific habitats, and release rehabilitated animals back into the wild. 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. Education and professional development of personnel and supporters are essential to the growth and strength of the humane movement, and directly advance the mission of The HSUS as well as the thousands of local societies and other animal organizations that rely on trained professional staff. 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 2016, the RAVS program provided no-cost, quality veterinary medical care for approximately 9,100 animals (for a total value of services provided of $1.82 million). Approximately 150 professional volunteers (veterinarians and veterinary technicians) participated in the RAVS clinics, along with more than 190 veterinary students. HSVMA's accomplishments for 2016 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, laboratory animal welfare, and the protection of wildlife; educated the profession and the public about farm animal, companion animal, laboratory 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, laboratory 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 2016, HSVMA hosted six webinars on topics such as cost of veterinary care issues, pet insurance, rehabilitation therapy, and spay/neuter surgery protocols. 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 (PC), founded in 2014 by a coalition of stakeholders including The HSUS, seeks to provide lifetime sanctuary care to chimpanzees from laboratories now that biomedical research on this endangered species has essentially come to an end and they are being retired. As part of this objective, PC has retired 22 chimpanzees coming out of research to a beautiful sanctuary on 236 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia. PC has an agreement with the University of Louisiana at Lafayette's New Iberia Research Center (NIRC) to move more than 200 NIRC chimpanzees to sanctuary, bringing an end to chimpanzee research at that facility.
