I really respect the Human society which is a group that aims to stop cruelty to animals
People who are mean to animals should go to prison.
I agree!  In many countries the term is used mostly for societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals or spca
I donate to the SPCA whenever I can, also the Humane Society.  Which is called BARC where I live.
The first society was set up in Victoria in 1871
I did not know that.  Where is Victoria?  Is that in the U.S. or England?
Victoria is the capital city of the canadian province of British Columbia
Those wacky Canadians.  I like that they love their pets and animals.  The SPCA protects livestock, too.  Like horses and cows.
apparently the next society was set up in New south wales in 1873
New South Wales is part of Australia, is it not?
