Nonprofits We Love: The Humane League

It breaks our hearts to know that farm animals across the globe are living in unnatural and unsafe conditions. With the number of farm animals growing, it is expected that this mistreatment will continue or even worsen. Thats why The Humane League, an inspiring nonprofit organization, left us feeling grateful for all of the hard work they do to protect the lives of these innocent animals.
