At St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center, we have a long history of speaking for those who have no voice, and who struggle to be heard.
 
This has never been more important than it is today. The horrific killing of George Floyd shines a bright light on the inequities that have persisted through the entire life of our nation. His needless death makes all too clear the systemic injustices that people of color face every day.
 
We need to rise each morning with a resolve to make our world a kinder and more compassionate place. Our work is anchored in removing barriers, building bridges, fostering equity, and creating and preserving families.
 
As the employees and communities we love and serve mourn, we stand solidly with those who seek systemic change, justice, and a social fabric that embraces everyone equally. And as animal welfare professionals, we must always remember to keep the human in humane.
