| Explanation | The Fund is generally exempt from federal income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code (the IRC). Income that is not related to exempt purposes, less applicable deductions, is subject to federal and state corporate income taxes. There was no income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2019. IN ACCORDANCE WITH FASB ASC 740 INCOME TAXES, HSLF RECOGNIZES TAX LIABILITIES FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS WHEN IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT A TAX POSITION WILL NOT BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION AND SETTLEMENT WITH VARIOUS TAXING AUTHORITIES. LIABILITIES FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS ARE MEASURED BASED UPON THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF BENEFIT THAT IS GREATER THAN 50% LIKELY OF BEING REALIZED UPON SETTLEMENT. THE GUIDANCE ON ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES ALSO ADDRESSES DE-RECOGNITION, CLASSIFICATION, INTEREST AND PENALTIES ON INCOME TAXES, AND ACCOUNTING IN INTERIM PERIODS. WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS, HSLF IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS BY THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL TAX AUTHORITIES FOR YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND PRIOR. MANAGEMENT HAS EVALUATED HSLF'S TAX POSITIONS AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT HSLF HAS TAKEN NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT REQUIRE ADJUSTMENT TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS GUIDANCE. | ExplanationTxt |

THE GOAL OF HSLF IS TO ADVANCE SOCIAL WELFARE BY HELPING TO PASS STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS THAT PROTECT ANIMALS FROM CRUELTY, SUFFERING, AND UNNECESSARY KILLING AND USE. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a FEDERAL & STATE LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITY/FEDERAL REGULATORY ACTIVITY | CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 4A (1 OF 1) THE FY20 APPROPRIATIONS BILL PROVIDED $295,000 MORE FOR ENFORCEMENT OF THE HPA, AND RENEWED THE PROHIBITION OF LICENSING/RE-LICENSING "CLASS B" RANDOM SOURCE DEALERS OF ANIMALS. THE BILL MAINTAINED LEVEL FUNDING FOR THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE'S PROGRAMS THAT PROTECT SPECIES UNDER THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT AS WELL AS THE OFFICE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND DEDICATED FUNDS TO FIGHT WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING ENFORCEMENT. IT ALSO PROVIDED INCREASED FUNDING FOR ALTERNATIVES TO ANIMAL TESTS AND $2 MILLION FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PET AND WOMEN SAFETY (PAWS) ACT, WHICH WAS INCLUDED IN THE FINAL VERSION OF THE AGRICULTURE IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 2018 (H.R. 2). FINALLY, THE BILL PROVIDED $3 MILLION TO THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION FOR NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALE CONSERVATION. FEDERAL AFFAIRS WORKED IN SUPPORT OF ANIMAL PROTECTION BILLS, INCLUDING THE PREVENTING ANIMAL CRUELTY AND TORTURE (PACT) ACT (H.R. 724/S. 479); THE SHARK FIN SALES ELIMINATION ACT (H.R. 737/S. 877) WHICH PASSED THE HOUSE; THE PREVENT ALL SORING TACTICS (PAST) ACT (H.R. 693/S. 1007) WHICH PASSED THE HOUSE; THE SAFEGUARD AMERICAN FOOD EXPORTS (SAFE) ACT (H.R. 961/S. 2006); THE WELFARE OF OUR FRIENDS (WOOF) ACT (H.R. 1002); THE PROVIDING RESPONSIBLE EMERGENCY PLANS FOR ANIMALS AT RISK OF EMERGING DISASTERS (PREPARED) ACT (H.R. 1042); THE BIG CAT PUBLIC SAFETY ACT (H.R. 1380/S. 2561); THE HORSERACING INTEGRITY ACT (H.R. 1754;/S. 1820); THE PROHIBITING THREATENED AND ENDANGERED CREATURE TROPHIES (PROTECT) ACT (H.R. 4804); THE RESCUING ANIMALS WITH REWARDS (RAWR) ACT OF 2019 (H.R. 97/S. 1590) WHICH WAS SIGNED INTO LAW; THE PUPPY PROTECTION ACT OF 2019 (H.R. 2442); THE SCIENTIFIC ASSISTANCE FOR VERY ENDANGERED NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALES (SAVE RIGHT WHALES) ACT (H.R. 1568); PROTECT AMERICA'S WILDLIFE AND FISH IN NEED OF CONSERVATION ACT OF 2019 (H.R. 4348/S. 2491); AND THE HUMANE COSMETICS ACT (H.R. 5141).

FEDERAL AFFAIRS ALSO SUPPORTED THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY'S DECISION TO PHASE OUT ALL ANIMAL TESTING ON MAMMALS FOR CHEMICALS AND PESTICIDES BY 2035 AND TO DEVOTE $4.25 MILLION TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF NON-ANIMAL TECHNOLOGIES AT FIVE UNIVERSITIES.
