Humane PA’s Mission Statement
Humane PA is the nonpartisan political arm of the animal protection movement in Pennsylvania. We are dedicated to electing humane legislators, advancing stronger animal protection laws, and eliminating cruelty in all its forms. Through strategic advocacy, grassroots engagement, and legislative action, we’re working to build a Commonwealth where cruelty has no place.
Humane PA invests in electing candidates committed to stronger laws—and, in turn, we stand behind every lawmaker who stands up for animals. Pennsylvania voters deserve clear, timely tools and information to maximize their political voice for animals—and Humane PA delivers. As the only statewide animal-protection PAC in Pennsylvania, we are uniquely positioned to build humane-minded leadership committed to ending neglect, cruelty, and exploitation. Change isn’t made by policymakers alone—it requires the collective will of citizens. Humane PA actively engages Pennsylvanians to back humane legislation, contact lawmakers, and champion animal welfare at every level.
Why do Pennsylvania Animals Need Humane PA?
Before Humane PA, animals had no voice in elections. While shelters and advocacy groups work to influence policy, nonprofits are legally prohibited from supporting or opposing candidates. Meanwhile, special interests that profit from animal exploitation have long used their political influence to block stronger anti-cruelty laws. Humane PA fills that gap.
As a Political Action Committee (PAC), Humane PA supports and elects lawmakers committed to advancing meaningful protections for animals. We are independent and bipartisan because compassion should guide public policy, not party politics.
Pennsylvania has far more animal lovers than those working to preserve cruelty, yet for years those voices were not reflected in the political process. Humane PA was created to change that. Today, the playing field is more balanced, and humane advocates are better positioned to stop harmful legislation and pass stronger laws.
That progress is already visible: Libre’s Law, the Animal Fighting Paraphernalia Law, the Cost of Care Law, and the ban on gas chambers and more. But there is far more work to do.
