When you vote, do you know where the candidates stand on humane issues? If you remain unaware, you could be unintentially electing people who will vote down humane legislation and pass laws that will hurt animals and habitats. Be aware of the candidates' positions. Humane USA ( www.humaneusa.org ) can help you make an informed choice. Interests that oppose animal and environmental protection certainly pay attention to politics and vote to advance their values. It's time for us to do the same. Casting an informed vote is one of the easiest ways to help vast numbers of animals which would be impossible to help on your own.
