American Humane

American Humane is a national non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring the safety, welfare, and well-being of animals through various certification and advocacy programs. Founded in 1877, the organization is widely recognized for its 'No Animals Were Harmed' end-credit certification for film and television productions. It also sets rigorous standards for animal welfare in the agricultural industry through its 'American Humane Certified' program and evaluates zoos and aquariums via the 'Humane Conservation' initiative. Beyond certifications, American Humane provides emergency first-responder services for animals in disasters and supports animal-assisted therapy for veterans and children. The organization plays a critical role in the veterinary and animal health ecosystem by establishing welfare benchmarks used globally.
