The Humane Society of the United States is an American nonprofit organization founded by journalist Fred Myers and Helen Jones, Larry Andrews, and Marcia Glaser in 1954, to address what they saw as animal - related cruelties of national scope, and to
resolve animal welfare problems by applying strategies beyond the resources or abilities of local organizations.
«However, opinions differ about whether ESCAS is merely a good first step or has substantially
resolved the
problems with
animal welfare, with the focus now being on continuous improvement and refinement.»
