Welcome to humane.org.  We feel we have created an exciting website that explores the meaning of the word humane.  This site encourages us to think, feel, and in fact, be humane.  It promotes the fact that being humane means treating each other, and all living things with compassion and kindness.  Humane Societies are animal care and protection organizations, however, their role should be to help both people and animals.  Being humane was never intended to be directed towards only animals.  The goal should be to create a humane environment for everyone, truly a humane society.  It is very exciting and yet seems so natural that a web based domain name such as humane.org, created for the ease of identification, would be used to originate a concept with such an important meaning.  Please enjoy our many pages of information devoted to the theme of practicing kindness and promoting humane attitudes.

 This site will continue to evolve.  We invite your comments and suggestions.  Please visit often and watch us grow.

Our supporters have always been the key to our growth. An anonymous member of our community has graciously pledged $25,000.00 in support of our many programs and services- with one stipulation. Suncoast Humane Society must be able to raise an additional $50,000.00. Read the full press release here.

You can really make a difference. Each and every donation is appreciated and vital.

As of January 29, 2010 we have raised an additional $29,882.00!

Please click the PayPal link if you’d like to make a secured donation.

 

You can also call 941-474-7884 for more details on how to help.

THANK YOU from all of us here at Suncoast Humane Society!

what some people are saying...

I have always seen the word "Humane" as more of a verb than an adjective. I think of it as an "action word", because without action any ideal is pretty hollow and meaningless. It's easy to talk about being humane, but it requires the strength of one's own convictions to actually LIVE a humane lifestyle and to speak out against cruelty in all its manifestations.
