The
Humane
Society of the United States
HSUS donated 12 tons of dog and cat food to Louisiana
to help families struggling to feed their pets due
to the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The donation included 24,000 pounds of food given by Mars Petcare US and 700 pounds of HSUS's own Humane Choice brand. The donation came after a request from the Plaquemines Parish Animal Welfare Society, which reported that the number of pets given up to local shelters after the oil spill has been on the rise.
