Yes. It is important that you support these other organizations, but their hands are tied when it comes to political activity. According to a l999 poll by Hart Research, 75% of Americans wish to ban leghold traps, 80% oppose confining animals in factory farms, and 77% oppose inflicting pain and distress on animals in laboratories. While animal protection is supported by a majority of the public, efforts must be expanded to recruit and elect humane-minded politicians who will champion pro-animal legislation. Such efforts can be realized by supporting and donating to Humane USA.
