The Ottawa Humane Society (1888 to present) is the humane society for Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.〔(Ottawa Humane Society: Historical Background )〕 ==Background== The Ottawa Humane Society is a non-profit organization, community-based organization and a registered charitable organization, ''Charity Registration Number: # 123264715 RR0001''. The Board of Directors is voluntary. A group of women formed the Women's Humane Society of Ottawa in January 1888. This organization enforced the new animal protection laws and focused on bettering the lives of neglected children by lobbying for legislation to provide for foster homes. In 1896, this group evolved into the Ottawa Humane Society, with the newly established Children's Aid Society assisting the needy children within the community. In 1979, the Ottawa Humane Society was renamed the Humane Society of Ottawa-Carleton. The organization returned to the name Ottawa Humane Society in 2001, when the Ottawa-Carleton area was amalgamated. Today, the Ottawa Humane Society's mandate covers a broad spectrum of animal welfare concerns. The organization's stated priorities include prevention and investigation of cruelty to animals, enforcement of laws for the protection of animals, public education and pet population control, through which they seek to reduce the number of stray animals whose final solution is often destruction. In 1933 the organization began providing stray animal shelter services to the City of Ottawa. They still hold the municipal contract for stray animal shelter services.〔(A by-law of the City of Ottawa respecting animal care and control )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ottawa Humane Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
