Big Cat Rescue's founder, Carole Baskin, is elected to serve on Humane USA's board of directors.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Humane Society of the United States, Wayne Pacelle and the President of The Fund for Animals, Mike Markarian, who are founding members of the Humane USA Political Action Campaign, nominated Carole Baskin to the board of directors and she was unanimously elected on August 9, 2005.

Formed in late 1999, Humane USA is the nation's first major political action committee devoted to the task of electing humane-minded candidates to public office at the federal and state levels.

Humane USA has been formed by leaders of major animal protection organizations, including The Humane Society of the United States , The Fund for Animals, Farm Sanctuary, ASPCA, Doris Day Animal League, Animal Welfare Institute, The Ark Trust, Animal Rights Foundation of Florida, and others. Its board of directors, advisory board, and advisors are top grassroots and national animal protection leaders.

Strong animal protection laws are produced by humane-minded elected officials, and the best way to secure a large crop of animal friendly legislators is to support them during their election campaigns. Humane USA distributes hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to ensure the success of humane-minded politicians.

Because of their charitable status with the Internal Revenue Service, other animal protection groups - such as Big Cat Rescue - are legally barred from endorsing candidates. Humane USA is the only national animal protection group that is allowed to participate in candidate election campaigns.

Since 1999 - after Humane USA launched its operations - the Congress passed many new laws to protect animals, including laws to prevent the sale of big cats across state lines as pets, to protect great apes, to establish chimpanzee sanctuaries, to ban the sale of dog and cat fur, to ban cock- fighting, to validate non-animal tests, and to halt barbaric practices such as "animal crush" videos and shark finning.

Humane USA will be involved in hundreds of races at the state and federal level during the primary and general elections. Legislation is now pending before Congress to combat puppy mills and dog fighting, ban canned hunts and steel-jawed leghold traps, protect horses from slaughter, and enact other enormously important reforms. Humane USA can be the decisive factor in pushing these bills and amendments toward passage.

Now the Tampabay area has a voice. Visit Humane USA at HumaneUSA.org
