               HAWAII HUMANE SOCIETY'S 100TH ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. NEIL ABERCROMBIE

                               of hawaii

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 27, 1997

  Mr. ABERCROMBIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute the Hawaii 
Humane Society [HHS] and the caring individuals who are employed by, or 
volunteer at this facility. I am pleased to say that today the HHS 
celebrates 100 years of success in their service to our community.
  The Hawaii Humane Society is a private, nonprofit charitable 
organization that promotes the humane treatment of animals to 
perpetuate the bond between humans and animals. Its animal welfare 
activities are based on a philosophy of encouraging responsible pet 
ownership through education, legislation, and prevention.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in applauding the 28,000 donors and 
volunteers who give their time for this worthwhile cause. The Hawaii 
Humane Society's programs are innovative and are models for animal 
welfare organizations across the country. With their significant 
contributions in encouraging respect for all living creatures the HHS 
continues to improve the humane treatment of all animals in our 
community.
  I am proud to pay tribute to the Hawaii Humane Society, and I am 
honored to add my voice to the praises of the many friends who gather 
to salute this fine organization.
