Does HSLF consider other social issues, such as education, abortion, civil rights, defense spending, etc.?
No. HSLF is completely non-partisan, and supports Democrats, Republicans, and Independents based on a single criterion: animal protection. HSLF has a single focus, and does not evaluate candidates based on the many other issues that come before legislative bodies. If we were to consider other issues, no matter how important, it would be difficult to find a candidate to support. HSLF believes that animal protection voters must be an identifiable voting block in order to gain greater respect and attention from candidates. When we can influence the outcome of elections, more candidates will embrace our agenda.
