The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), based in Washington, D.C., is an American nonprofit organization that does activism against animal cruelty. It was founded in 1954.[3] They do this by organizing campaigns to get laws passed[4] and by investigating companies.[5]

HSUS opposes cruelty against animals used for food.[6][7] The organization works on a full range of animals, including pets, wildlife, farm animals, horses, and animals used in research, testing and education.[8]

HSUS works with another organization, the Fund for Animals, to operate animal sanctuaries in five states.[9] However, it does not operate animal shelters itself. HSUS also trains rescue groups and shelters.[10]

HSUS has been criticized for the way it spends its money.
