The American Humane Education Society (AHES) was an American organization founded in 1889 by George T. Angell in Boston, Massachusetts, to promote humane education and encourage kindness toward animals. It worked in partnership with the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA), and Our Dumb Animals served as an official publication of both organizations. The society was merged into the MSPCA in 2010. It is included in the online exhibition "Be Kind: A Visual History of Humane Education, 1880-1945" by the National Museum of Animals & Society.
