Congratulations to Whatcom Humane Society for adopting an animal friendly menu for your organization events! Support Whatcom by leaving a nice comment on the ARTICLE: http://www.bellinghamherald.com/2014/12/17/4033749/whatcom-humane-society-honored.html
For over 110 years, Whatcom Humane Society (WHS) in Bellingham, Washington has been sheltering abandoned animals, fighting animal cruelty and neglect, and working to build a caring, compassionate and humane community. This incredible organization believes that ALL animals, as sentient beings, have value beyond economic measurements and are entitled to legal, moral, and ethical consideration and protection. Is it any wonder then that WHS has been a staunch supporter of Animal Place's Food for Thought campaign? Or that they worked alongside us to produce our first campaign video to encourage shelter directors to adopt an animal friendly/plant based menu policy for their events?
Under the inspiring leadership of executive director, Laura Clark, Whatcom Humane Society is leading the pack with their progressive approaches to community issues and treatment of animals. Their vegetarian food policy has been in place since 2002 and was implemented after recognizing that as an open-admission facility, WHS cared for all kinds of animals, including those typically used for food production. We had the great fortune to speak with Laura about her views, as well as those of WHS, when it comes to all things edible.
