Scientific Advisors
The program is based on standards developed by world leading veterinarians, animal scientists, and practitioners, and reviewed regularly by a renowned committee of internationally renowned scientists. Meet the scientists at the heart of our program>
American Humane Association relies on this distinguished group to provide guidance and recommendations for current and future activities and initiatives, and to review and revise its procedures, guidelines, policies and ethics. Additionally, we rely on our scientific advisors to initiate and evaluate original and secondary research and guide us in determining best practices. American Humane also values the guidance and participation of our Associates and Fellows
