“The Humane Society of the United States” was established in 1954. It is the largest anti-cruelty organization in America. The HSUS has enacted more than 1,000 state and federal laws and has improved the lives of millions of animals in the process. They have advocated for every type of animal from farm to domestic. John Hoyt was at the helm of the HSUS for almost 3 decades taking his vision of what the HSUS could be and bringing it the distance. John developed the institution from under 100,000 members to over 5 million members and growing. Its annual budget blossomed as well under his tutelage from under 1 million dollars to over 50 million by the time he retired. Originally a Presbyterian minister, John likened his position to that of leaving one church for another. John also helped found the “World Society for the Protection of Animals” and the “Humane Society International.” He passed away at almost 80 years of age and is survived by his wife and 4 daughters. John was and will forever be a powerful force in the destiny of Animal Welfare as his work lives on through the efforts and the continued success of the “Humane Society of the United States” today. Thank you John.
