Some people think the Humane Society is too radical, because it opposes Mendocino County's current policy of selling its impounded dogs to laboratories for research and experiments. Others think its too sentimental, because it is concerned with protecting domestic animals from abuse and abandonment. Still others confuse the Humane Society with the tax-funded and hopelessly muddled County Animal Control program.
The Humane Society for Inland Mendocino County is a volunteer, non-profit animal protection organization. Its activities range from investigating animal cruelty complaints and providing emergency health care for abandoned animals to supporting humane legislation that protects domestic and wild animals from cruel exploitation. Like the environmental movement, the humane movement confronts abuse and victimization in order to create a healthier and saner world. Its office is located in Ukiah at 462-1685. Its mailing address is P.O. Box 1342. It needs support. Check it out.
