Testimonials

“The League of Humane Voters of New York City has done an amazing job at legitimizing animal protection issues at City Hall and in Albany. In just five years, they have become a political force for animals that simply cannot be ignored."
-- Gene Bauston, Co-Founder and President, Farm Sanctuary

 

“As the Editor-in-Chief of Satya Magazine, I know a bit about the animal rights/welfare movement. The League of Humane Voters of New York City is playing an essential and unique role in the movement; they have become a model for other groups looking to become politically powerful for animals.”
-- Cat Clyne, Editor-In-Chief, Satya Magazine

“The League of Humane Voters of New York City recognizes that it’s time for the animal movement to get political. Because of LOHV-NYC's work, more elected officials are recognizing that promoting humane policies is not only the right thing to do, but it's also the politically intelligent thing to do."
-- Paul Shapiro, Factoring Farming Campaign Director, The Humane Society of the United States and Co-Founder, Compassion Over Killing

 “I can hardly believe the difference the League of Humane Voters of New York City made in my State Assembly campaign -- the number of LOHV-NYC volunteers who joined us at the campaign office and on the streets, the mailings they sent out, the voters who told me they were supporting me because of LOHV-NYC's endorsement... LOHV-NYC was one of our most effective supporters.”
-- Brian Kavanagh, New York State Assemblyman, 74th A.D.

“LOHV-NYC… continues to lead the way in educating many on the importance of animal rights.”
- Jose Serrano, New York State Senator
 

“I have chosen to support the League of Humane Voters of New York City because I know it is making a difference! In just a few years, it has elected more than two-dozen humane candidates to office, and it is getting laws proposed and passed to protect animals. What other reasons could I need?”
-- Mary Max, Board Member, The Humane Society of the United States

“I have long believed that we of the animal rights community should make our votes count directly at the polls. Our numbers are significant, and although we are yet a minority, we can affect the outcome of an election, especially in selected local contests.  I thus believe that the League of Humane Voters of New York City is on the right track. It has already had an impact, and my expectations for its future are high… I believe that LOHV-NYC has been moving toward this future intelligently as well as effectively. It has chosen issues with broad appeal and has been able to give serious help to selected candidates.”
-- Julian H. Franklin, Professor Emeritus of Government, Columbia University and author of Animal Rights and Moral Philosophy
