Dumb Friends League changed their name to Humane Colorado :blobreachsob:

Dumb Friends League has been around since 1910, making it not only one of the oldest animal welfare organizations out there, but also one of the largest, helping animals and other shelters nationwide. Their aim is to help animals that are homeless or suffering.

'Dumb' was a common synonym for 'mute' back in the day, referring to the non-speaking pets that the organization helped. However, with America's lowering IQ, the public began to consider this offensive and calling the animals stupid. With dwindling support from the public, this 100+ year old organization decided to change it's name to Humane Colorado.

Dumb Friends League has been an iconic name in animal welfare, right up there with ASPCA and HSUS.
