Party for the Animals
Want to help pass legislation that supports treating animals humanely but don’t have the time to picket at Washington D.C.? Thanks to the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), anyone can aid in transforming legislation to be more animal friendly. All you have to do is invite your friends to your house and throw a party with a purpose!
Trained political activists who educate voters and hire lobbyists lead the lobbying arm of the HSUS’s Humane Society Legislative Fund (HSLF). Their goal is to achieve more political victories for animals.
Their first party was in support of the PETS Act 2005, which establishes a disaster plan that includes pets and service animals. The Senate passed this act in early August 2005, so now when a hurricane strikes there won’t be so many stranded and homeless animals like in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. More recently, they held parties to stop dog fighting and protect seals.
To become a partier with a purpose, visit www.partylaunch.com/partyanimals/ to sign up. All party plans can be managed directly on the website; invitations can be emailed to friends, guests can make donations directly online and party information (date, time, location, etc.) is displayed on your own personalized website. Approximately a week before the party, the HSUS will send a box of literature, DVDs and information on the party’s conference call.
Check out their website to find out the purpose of their next party, so you can party like an animal too!
