Humane organizations are committed to ending the suffering of animals. To accomplish this goal, they work to educate the public, push for protective legislation, help enforce anti-cruelty laws, and provide refuge and a second chance for lost or unwanted animals. Some of these organizations are national or even international in scope; others groups are local or regional in nature.
