ASPCA: A Humane Society To Prevent Animal Abuse

ASPCA has grown so much even in just a year. In the beginning of 2015, January 1, to be exact, to December 31 of 2015, they were able to rescue, care for, and find homes for large quantities of animals. According to the ASPCA website, on the about us article, ASPCA was able to save 1,200 animals in general. They had 4,600 animals adopted through their organization. ASPCA also spayed or neutered 54,300 animals. Lastly, ASPCA gave $12,000 to animal welfare organizations(ASPCA).

“Approximately 7.6 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year. Of those, approximately 3.9 million are dogs and 3.4 million are cats” (Pet Statistics). Many animals are rescued and taken to shelters all around the United States. These shelters provide all the resources and take care of the animals until they are well or adopted. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or ASPCA, is a non-profitable organization that is dedicated to preventing animal cruelty. You should donate money to the ASPCA or even adopt a pet if able to because it provides money to the animals to give them the necessities they need, it supports the animals that have been poorly treated, and it helps get animals out of poor

The truth about PETA, is that they do not want all animals to roam free. They want the population of dogs and cats to be reduced through spaying and neutering. They would like people to adopt animals from pounds or animal shelters, rather than buying from pet shops or breeders. They do claim to be the number one animal activist groups out there. Are they who they claim to be? What they don't advertise, is that

PETA, though it does many things, has four main objectives. They focus on animal cruelty on factory farms, which are also known as confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and intensive livestock operations (ILOs). These farms are more worried about profits and high volumes of goods than they are about human health, safe food, the environment, fair treatment of animals, and the surrounding economy (Factory Farms). PETA also focuses on cruel treatment to animals in laboratories, in the fur trade, and in the entertainment industry (like Khartoum). They also work on projects helping birds, beavers, and abused backyard dogs, as some examples. To reach the public, PETA uses many tactics, including working “through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and direct action.” (PETA: Official Page). PETA tries to reach the public any way possible.

Throughout our lives we have most likely witnessed hundreds of commercials that try to persuade us to donate money. A great amount of advertisements exist to persuade their audiences to donate to a specific organization our cause. The ASPCA is an organization that works to rescue animals from abuse, pass humane laws, and share resources with shelters nationwide. The ASPCA has many different campaign commercials that all have a singular purpose. The ASPCA announcement featuring Sarah Mclachlan that vividly portrays images of many different animals, is probably the most well known of all of the ASPCA commercials.

They have even partnered up with Subaru who donates two hundred –fifty dollars every time you buy or lease one of their vehicles, and the ASPCA health insurance to protect your pets. Not only do they have ads to help prevent cruelty, but they are also a hands on charity.

We are helping to shape a society that continuously improves the lives of animals,” as stated by ASPCA President and CEO, Matthew Bershadker. Just like my dog Tank brought so much joy and fulfillment to our lives, so has so many other animals from the ASPCA brought to the lives of others. It is evident that the ASPCA is an organization that all should support considering the fact that it fills the void of both the animals and the families whom are welcoming them into their hearts and homes. Although individuals say substandard comments about the ASPCA organization, there are hard facts that prove otherwise. For example, people often claim that the ASPCA is a kill center, where many animals are euthanized for no apparent reason whatsoever; however, this is not the case. Animals are only euthanized when they are violent and pose a threat to others (Position Statement on Euthanasia,

What comes to mind when you hear the song “Angel” by Sarah McLachlan? Do you get teary-eyed and change the channel like the musician herself? When I hear this song, the first thing that comes to mind is a bunch of wide-eyed mistreated puppies and kittens. Who is behind these television ads, if you don’t already know? The answer is the ASPCA. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, was the first humane society to be established in North America back in 1866. The organization’s goals and mission statement is “to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States,” (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). This non-profit organization’s focus is to get pets

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was the first humane society to be established in North America and is, today, one of the largest in the world. The organization was founded on the belief that animals are entitled to kind and respectful treatment at the hands of humans and must be protected under the law. The ASPCA is a privately funded 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, and has more than 2 million supporters across the country. It started in New York City and maintains a strong local presence, and now has programs that extend their anti-cruelty mission across the country.

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) was the first human society to be established in North America and is, today, one of the largest in the world. Henry Bergh, a man of great conviction and a tireless fighter for animals founded the ASPCA on April 10, 1866. Mr. Bergh believed that all animals are entitled to being treated kindly and respectfully at the hands of humans and should be protected under the law. The ASPCA’s mission, as stated by founder Henry Bergh in 1866, is “to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States. (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals [ASPCA], 2014, About us section) When Mr. Bergh founded the ASPCA, he and his volunteers spent tireless hours fighting for the rights of

We have all seen the ASPCA commercials with the poor starving and abused animals. You feel a sadness in your heart and wonder how anyone can inflict these types of atrocities on them. Maybe you donate money or time to help out these defenseless creatures. Now what if you found out that your favorite deodorant or lipstick is tested on animals. Would you discontinue using these products and look for a product that isn’t tested on animals or would you continue to use them and believe that it is necessary for your safety? Would you think about how horrendous the conditions these animals live in or how much pain is induced?

According to PETA, “People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals”, more than 100 million animals are killed in laboratories for research and other testing. My proposal in this debate is to explain why animal testing is wrong and should be banned. Some reasons why we should ban animal experimentation are, they make many animals suffer then die and the results in the end are not always accurate.

The organization known as PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has an article on their website condemning the use of leather products. Simply titled “The Leather Industry” and accessible by typing ‘cowsarecool.com’, this article aims to show how cruelly animals are treated while their skin is being obtained to make leather. This website supports the belief that that when you buy leather you are an accessory to animal cruelty because they think that any informed person would not fund the industry while they operate in this manner. This article is primarily geared towards those who are easily swayed by slaughter pictures and have so much excess empathy that they are willing to let PETA dictate what they wear.

To examine the issue of animal protection and the nature of animal rights in the United States, one must first take a look at the time from before the birth of the nation that is present today, to the time of the Native American Indians. Some critics argue that animal cruelty was adopted form the natives or the continent discovered by Columbus in the 15th century. However, such assertions are untrue and completely wrong, given the fact that animals were highly valued by the natives, and their lives “were equal to humans’ [lives],” and were highly praised as spiritual beings (“North”).Even though animals were hunted,, as they were the only source of food, besides plants, for the natives’ survival, they were still regarded with respect and treated

Ax and Beauty were on the landing that either upstairs or downstairs. Schatzi bounded up the stairs from downstairs, “Oh good! Ax, Angel would like to see you downstairs please.” she yipped happily. Ax nodded and slowly went downstairs. Ax couldn’t help but notice how faint the human smell was in house all together. Ax looked around and noticed how everything in the house was thrown about. Padding into the only room downstairs, Ax barked a greeting to his mate, “Angel! Are you alright?” Angel looked up and barked back, “Yes, I’m fine! I’m so glad Beauty let you out. The pups, they’re coming soon, I can feel it!” she yelped. Ax looked around the room, noticing that the walls were covered in posters and pictures of dogs and horses. Ax had never really been in this room, but by the smells, the human pup who took care of them, had lived in this room. Turning back to Angel, he growled happily, “Oh my dear, that's wonderful. Tonight would you want me to sleep down here with you?” he questioned. Angel looked thoughtful for a moment, “No, I have a feeling you will want to sleep in your pack leader’s bed tonight. I was up there earlier, her smell is starting to fade.” Angel whined respectfully. Ax nodded and licked his mate lovingly between the
