About Me


Check us out on Facebook too!
Read our new blog! michaelmarkarian.org
We work to pass animal protection laws at the state and federal level, to educate the public about animal protection issues, and to support humane candidates for office. HSLF was formed in 2004 as a separate lobbying affiliate of The Humane Society of the United States. This allows us to engage in more public policy work, build an army of trained activists, and compete with other groups that have long been operating at a different level. HSLF may not be able to match its opponents dollar for dollar, but it will be more aggressive and more effective. That means more lobbyists at the state and federal levels, more ballot initiatives, and more victories for animals. For more information you can go to our website, www.hslf.org .
Spread the word with our Presidential Flyer
HSLF has produced a presidential flyer, which you can download to help spread the word that animal welfare should be a priority in the ’08 race. Download (PDF)
