Founded in 2015, our goal is to mold our home city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania into America’s Model Humane City…and we are well on our way.

Following years of behind-the-scenes work by HAP leadership, on Friday, March 19, the Pittsburgh Zoo announced they were finally beginning the process of achieving AZA accreditation once again.

On Tuesday, March 23, four people were arrested after a HAP member found ten pigeons convulsing on the ground near the Frick Building downtown Pittsburgh on Thanksgiving Day last year.

We are dedicated to promoting a compassionate diet and are excited to collaborate with local businesses and organizations in the Pittsburgh area.

We offer free speakers to present at high school and college classes, assemblies, and events, as well as houses of faith.
