The International Humane Society of the United States is working to protect all animals. They work with animals at home, the wildlife, farm animals, and even the marine life. There are so many issues that they wish to accomplish, but they can only do one at a time. They are confronting cruelty such as bullfighting, dog meat trade, horse slaughter, and fur. They are trying to stop the puppy mills that give puppies endless and needless misery. They discourage buying wild which includes: drive fisheries, habitat protection, polar bear trade, shark finning, tiger trade, marine mammals in captivity, and even wildlife trade. They are trying to protect the seals from being captivated. And a huge project they are working on is the end to animal testing. Although it advances the sciences, the chemicals, pesticides, and lethal dose animal testing is cruel and unnecessary. They wish to protect the street animals as well as farm animals that includes: force-fed animals, humane eating, factory farming and flu, farm animal transport and slaughter, and the intensive confinement of farm animals. And finally, they wish to stop wildlife abuse. The Humane Society International confronts these cruelties through major campaigns targeting the inhumane treatment of animals.
