Animal Advocacy
Animals can't speak for themselves. They can't run for political office. They can't hire lawyers to defend them or lobbyists to press their case with lawmakers.
Major decisions affecting the lives of all animals are made every day by public employees and elected officials. People who care about animals need to speak up and share their opinions with policy makers.
The Wisconsin Humane Society influences public policy to align with our mission: to make a difference for animals and the people who love them. We share our experiences with legislators in the State Capitol and municipalities to provide voice to our mission.
