I can remember visiting a local humane society as a kid to get a puppy to raise at home. So I used to have this image of the organization as one that took in stray, lost or abandoned animals and found them a home. Of course the Humane Society of the United States has long since moved on.

I just saw an alert to their Factory Farming Homepage. You might be interested to see what they’re doing in this regard. Of course they have the obligatory video of the cruelty imposed on animals so beware your tender sensibilities.
