Images of Leadership
Earlier this week I wrote about the awards that The Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society Legislative Fund presented to members of Congress, honoring their leadership on animal protection protection issues in the 110th Congress. Today we've created a photo album of many of these lawmakers who received humane awards, and I invite you to check out the photos.
It demonstrates how far the animal protection movement has come on Capitol Hill, when dozens of legislators—Democrats and Republicans alike—are honored for their achievements and accomplishments in promoting the humane treatment of animals. With their help, and the help of all their constituents, we will truly make change and create a kinder and more merciful world for all creatures.

annual honor —the 2007 Humane Legislator of the
Year Award—to Rep.
Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.)
Michael Markarian is the president of the Humane Society Legislative Fund, a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization that lobbies for animal welfare legislation and works to elect humane-minded candidates to public office. In almost 15 years in the animal protection movement, Markarian has worked for the passage of countless state laws and federal statutes to protect animals, in addition to helping defeat some of the strongest anti-animal welfare politicians in the United States.
