Does anyone have an experience with humane society ?

Yeah, I think it is a good organization to donate to. I worked at one for a couple days and it was a lot of fun. The animals are treated really well. This was a no-kill shelter, meaning they can't kill any of the animals if it's been too long or if they're overflowing. So far it hasn't been an issue as far as I know. I have pretty limited knowledge of it but this is what I have, hope it helps.

word i appreciate the feed back...anymore ?

humane society is a piece of shit. They kill dogs and cats by the tens of thousands.

In mexico and europe,  they let them loose to roam stray and that at least gives them a chance. Most stray dogs in europe know to stop for traffic because cars will not stop for dogs in europe. Its kinda cruel, but if I were a dog that couldnt find a home i would rather be given a chance to possibly survive roaming the streets and being fed by random people than to sit in a 2 foot wide cage in america for a year and then have my life "humanely" taken away by lethal injection.

The humane society exists in america because america puts people so far ahead of everything else.  The danger of a stray dog causing an accident puts "HUMANS" lives at risk, so we cant have that now can we. Any stray dogs get locked up and eventually killed. And our taxes pay for both animal control people and the humane society which is more like an animal concentration camp.

Places that house and dont kill the animals are awesome. But the reality is that the humane society butchers dogs and cats for the sake of fucking "safety".  fuck the humane society,  If we took 10 percent of the money we give in welfare to crack addicts in america and sent it to the humane society we could save all the animals.

shut up troll before i stab you

^ yo fuck you im watching a show right now about how there are 35000 stray dofs in moscow. some of them even ride the metro. america is to afraid of rabies and stupid shit. america sucks

try finding an animal rescue org in your area to contribute to instead if you're concerned. most of those are non profit and volunteer groups, and most of the money goes to spay and neuter and vaccinate the pets.

or this is interesting.

i think we should let them go free

PETA's Lame Response We'll say this much for PETA's leaders: they've got an answer for everything. If you write to PETA and ask them about our "PETA Kills Animals" website, they'll send back a form letter including some of the lame excuses below: "Thank you for contacting PETA about the 'PETA Kills Animals' billboard and the accompanying promotions for it … PETA can't afford billboards in Times Square, so we're grateful for the opportunity that this one provides to discuss the animal overpopulation crisis." PETA's lying. The organization has erected not one but two Times Square billboards (one in 1997 and another in 2003), both featuring silicone beauty Pamela Anderson. Click here and here to see PETA's own promotional materials about these advertisements. And PETA's annual budget is over $25 million. That's about seven times what the Center for Consumer Freedom spends. "We do not run a traditional shelter. In fact, we refer every healthy, cute, young animal we can to shelters." Uh oh. There they go again. In 2003 PETA reported transferring exactly one animal to another shelter. In 2002 PETA transferred just two animals. Click here to see the documents PETA filed with the state of Virginia. Since 1998, PETA has transferred a total of 130 animals to other shelters, and 21 of them were chickens. By comparison, it killed over 10,000 animals. "[M]ost of the animals we receive are broken beings for whom euthanasia is, without a doubt, the most humane option." PETA kills 85 percent of the animals it takes in, and finds adoptive homes for just 14 percent. By contrast, the Norfolk SPCA, whose shelter is located less than 4 miles from PETA's headquarters, found adoptive homes for 73 percent of its animals in 2003. It’s rather hard to believe that the animals entrusted to PETA are any more likely to be “broken beings.” Dana Cheek, the former (and most recent) director of the Norfolk SPCA, wrote to us recently: I often receive phone calls from frantic people who have surrendered their pets to PETA with the understanding that PETA will "find them a good home." Many of them are led to believe that the animals will be taken to a nearby shelter. Little do they know that the pets are killed in the PETA van before they even pull away from the pet owner's home … PETA refuses to surrender animals they obtain to area shelters for rehoming. If only the celebrity "deep-pocket" donors on the west coast knew that their donations were going to kill adoptable cats and dogs here in Norfolk. PETA talks a good game about caring for animals, but seems uninterested in saving the only creatures it actually has contact with. If PETA were sincere, it could use its incredible wealth to buy a huge plot of land where its thousands of victims could live out their natural lives. Instead, these animals meet PETA's hypocrisy head-on, in the form of "tough love."

dude over and over you keep saying:


starvation > humane, pain free death.

I don't know if you can imagine what it would be like to starve to death... wait, actually I know you can't. none of us can. And don't retort saying "But people feed them and they find food-" no, strays are not fed by anyone. They contract diseases and they starve and die. That's a terrible life to live for any creature.

i'd donate to the independently run non-kill kennels. should be easy to find in your area.

the humane society in toronto got charged with animal cruelty last year. the ospca has taken over and things have gotten better.

i guess it really depends on your area. i don't want to generalize them as all bad.

You are an idiot. The only reason dogs in mexico and europe know how to cross the street is because of natural selection. All the dogs that couldn't figure it out are dead. Besides, it is more humane in my opinion to take a dog in and treat him for all his wild ass diseases that were making his life in the streets miserable, keep him sheltered and fed, and then if you have to put him down if he's got no hope for adoption or a terminal illness. Its not a great system, but at worst its a necessary evil.

There are too many cats and dogs to keep them all alive. In most cases, as sad as it is, killing them is the only truly humane option. Spay and neuter your pets people.

i once took my pup into the humane society to get him a rub and tug. i walk to the front desk to check on my appointment and an employee comes up and punts my dog under the mouth. my dog goes flying upward, rotating the first quarter of a rag-doll backflip, when the employee quickly pulls out a knife from his pocket and slices my dog's stomach in midair. another employee comes up and shoots my dog in the back of the head with a 9mm.

same thing happened to my cat

you retard. dogs in the street dont have diseases. dogs kept in a closet by retarted poor people are the ones on animal planet with all the diseases. Dogs that live off garbage and handouts on the street are healthy. I think youre an absolute idiot.

well if you were one of those dogs, wouldnt you want at least a FUCKING CHANCE to make it on the street? who cares let natural selection take over. It would be cool to have random dogs walking down the sidewalk with people. I think thats a much cooler society than the "humans only" one that we have.

lol

Im all for letting animals live.

But shut the fuck up dude.

well that sucks.
