The Simpsons Wins Award for Animal Issues
It just goes to show that there are more awards out there every year. So many that by the end of award season, everybody should have received something. One award show I’ve never heard of, The Genesis Awards, presented The Simpsons with the Sid Caesar Comedy Award. 
The show won the award for the episode “Million Dollar Abie.” They won the award “for attempting to take the ‘bull’ out of the so-called bravery of bullfighting. Exec producer Al Jean accepted the award and joked, ‘No animals were harmed in the filming of this cartoon.’”
Well congratulations Simpsons. Apparently the awards are given out every year to shows that address animal issues in a positive way. Can you guess whose behind these awards? That’s right. The Humane Society.
The Humane Society of the U.S. is the nation’s largest animal protection organization with 9.5 million members and constituents. The HSUS is a mainstream voice for animals, with active programs in companion animals and equine protection, disaster preparedness and response, wildlife and habitat protection, animals in research and farm animal welfare. The HSUS protects all animals through education, investigation, litigation, legislation, advocacy and fieldwork. The non-profit organization is based in Washington and has field representatives and offices across the country.
