The Humane Economy: How Innovators and Enlightened Consumers Are Transforming the Lives Of Animals

What would your pet business be like if your values were in alignment with your business practices? According to Wayne Pacelle (and some of the big businesses today), you can make more money and attract more clients when your business practices are in alignment with what’s good for animals. The tide is turning in business and (horray!) doing good is really good for business!

Wayne Pacelle

In This Segment You Will Learn:

  • What the humane economy is and how it can help you, your pet business and the animals
  • Why aligning your values with your business practices is so important for your pet business
  • How pet business owners can make better choices that contribute to a humane economy
  • How to create congruency between who you are and what you do and how that can benefit your pet business and your quality of life
  • And much more!

Kristin - MUSINGSKristin’s Musings:

Some of my first animal memories involve my local Humane Society: going there with my family to adopt a cat, volunteering there during the summer when I was a kid, participating in their annual Charity Dog Wash and (oy!) getting bit on the mouth by a big husky dog - I was fine; just a fat lip for a few days!

This interview with Wayne really brought those memories back to me in a very touching way. It was meaningful for me to interview the man at the helm of this organization. I can feel his inner and outer congruency and I think you will be able to feel it too; Wayne’s mind, heart and spirit are all in alignment when it comes to animal care and welfare. It’s profound to witness that alignment, especially in a businessman who works for a powerful organization, and because of that witnessing, I got a little teary at the end of this interview with this amazing man.

    I love listening to Wayne. I am a District Leader for the HSUS and it is alway so great to hear from him. I have met him and he is very down to Earth and willing to listen to what you believe in and how you are helping animals. I am proud to be a part of the HSUS.

    Wayne is a great start to an awesome conference. I love how our pet businesses and not just the non-profit organisations are here to help animals. After all, we do what we love and believe in.

    Aloha Kristin and Fellow Pet Sitters,
    I thought that was a fabulous interview. I think the negative comments were nitpicky, LOOKING for something…ANYTHING….to be offended by, and those folks not only lost sight of the bigger picture, but I think they need to work on their own personal anger issues instead of frivolously attacking others (especially someone who has obviously done FAR more than these oversensitive whiners to better the lives of animals around the world). I’m offended by THEM. Ok, enough of my rant on that. I’m normally a very positive, forgiving person.
    I think Mr. Pacelle has done a marvelous job, as much as any one human being can do, to make people aware of animal abuses in all forms and encourage all to make better choices (and what choices there are). I applaud his work. I thought his religious references in the beginning were NOT an attempt to convert people to religion, or a slam on any one religion, just a few examples of how humans have been connected to animals from the beginning of our existence, since religion has and continues to play a dominant role in the lives of the majority of humans past and present (before you Negative Nellies jump on that, I am NOT saying non-religious people are insignificant, wrong or bad in any way, far from it). I’m not a particularly religious person myself, yet I found his references quite interesting.
    Condemning people for eating dogs I believe to be a bit of sanctimonious hypocrisy on the part of Americans. Before ya’ll hang me from the highest tree on that, my philosophy is it is not that we eat any kind of animals, it’s the WAY we treat them while raising and slaughtering them that matters, that is more often than not done badly and needs to change. How many of you anti-dog meat people eat cow meat? Imagine the horror someone in India feels about you doing THAT? Would you have them rip your cows away from you and condemn you because you eat cow meat? I think we should focus not on prevention of any animal being eaten, but on educating people to raise and slaughter them humanely. Go to the countries that eat dog and educate them on how and why to raise & slaughter dogs humanely, show them how. They don’t care if you take some of their dogs to America — they’ll just replace them with others, and learn nothing. Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; teach him to fish, you feed him for a lifetime. Egad, there’s that religious thing again, holy cow (pun intended)!
    Obviously, Mr. Pacelle and I would disagree on the dog meat issue, but I don’t mind, and he might even agree with my point to some extent. Like he says, each to his own, as long as it’s done humanely.
    I didn’t know anything about Mr. Pacelle before this video. I’m quite impressed and inspired (and intend to read his books). Thank you Kristin for making this segment a part of this conference, and for all you have done to put this conference together for us. I’m looking forward to the next one tomorrow.

    Aloha, dear Christi,

    There’s so much I can say to your thoughtful post but, due to my attention being needed in order to monitor and moderate the conference, alas I need to keep my response short.

    I REALLY appreciate your lightheartedness and humor. It’s nice to experience especially when so many of us take ourselves so seriously these days. Ahhh… 🙂

    I do want to share that I have an issue with the topic of eating dogs. It hurts my heart to think about, though I can see where you are coming from when you talk about whether all animals killed for meat are treated humanely. The humane part is so important AND I still have a hard time with even thinking about dogs being eaten for food. Just my feelings. Take what you like and leave the rest. 😉

    I’m really glad that Wayne’s interview inspired you and I’m excited to have you see the other speakers. The topics and speakers that follow are far less liable to cause an uproar but I think you will find them equally as exciting and interesting to watch – for other reasons. 😉

    Hope you enjoy the rest of the conference!
    ~Kristin

    Hello, I’m writing & attending from Puerto Vallarta. This interview is so profound for me as I’ve realized I’ve sacrificed my values as a holistic pet sitter & have been reevaluating what my mission statement & desires of where I wish to put my attention. I also eat meat but am part of the co-op sfraw which is committed to humane locally sourced products & my pets eat only the best products. I’m also a raw/species appropriate feeder & I struggle with my clients choices on nutrition. Definitely keeps me questioning my journey in pet care. I adore Jane Goodall & I’m presently vacationing at Paradise Village which houses 2 rescue tigers which I’m in conflict over. As an empath even zoos tend to make me sad. Great interview Kristin. Huge appreciation. We love the humane society. Super training & educational resources. I always recommend them for pet grief counseling too. We have a compassionate group here in the bay area. I’d love to see them teach a holistic nutritional approach to pet rearing.
