| 2012 | August | Review | The Humane League is listed as a top charity by Animal Charity Evaluators. |
| 2013 | January | Study | The Humane League runs a series of online advertisements to see which farm animal cruelty video was more effective at inspiring young women to want to change their diet: What Came Before or Farm To Fridge. A total of 83,000 viewers are tracked. A smaller-scale comparison, reaching 19,000 viewers, includes two additional farm animal cruelty videos in the comparison: 10 Billion Lives and Meet Your Meat. As a result, What Came Before outperformed the other farm animal cruelty videos by a large margin. Young women who viewed What Came Before were 70% more likely to click to order a vegetarian starter guide than those who saw Farm To Fridge.[2] |

| 2014 | December | Animal Charity Evaluators publishes its first detailed review of THL. According to the review: "THL’s most impressive accomplishment for us is not through any one of their programs, but through their overall outlook and approach to advocacy. Among animal advocacy organizations, they make exceptionally strong efforts to assess their own programs and to look for and test out ways of improving them. Their success in applying these techniques to their online ads program, and their publication of their research through Humane League Labs, has shifted the outlook and programming of several larger advocacy organizations toward finding the best ways to advocate for animals."[4] | |
