San Francisco – An abundance of pet-friendly hotels, off-leash dog parks and vegetarian restaurants helped San Francisco place first Monday on an animals- rights group’s list of America’s most humane cities.
Seattle; Portland, Ore.; Washington; and San Diego followed San Francisco in the Humane Society of the United States’ inaugural index, which the organization compiled using state-level and national data.
Denver ranked 17th, tied with Detroit.
The group used such factors as the number of fur retailers per capita and the ratio of wildlife watchers to hunters in ranking the country’s largest 25 metro areas.
