humane society is a group that aims to stop human or animal suffering, have you ever been to a humane society?
I have. Where I used to live was a very well managed and equipped Humane Society. My friend used to take old towels from her work there for the animals.
That is very nice of her, in many countries the group is backed by the SPCA.
Oh, I didn't know that. Is the US Humane Society backed by the SPCA here?
It is! the SPCA stands for societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals.
It's a wonderful organization too. Do you know when the Humane Society was established?
Well the Humane Society of the United States was formed in Washington DC by Fref Myers and Helen Jones in 1954
It's been around for a while, then. It's amazing it has expanded countrywide.  What else can you tell me about it?
