Have you ever been watching tv and the ASPCA commercial comes on, you know the one that has the song “Arms of an Angle.” The commercial makes you feel super sad for the poor animals that have been abused and victimized because of cruel behavior. They ask you to donate
Hello everyone, my name is Katrina Clark. So, imagine one day you were ripped away from your family and from your home with nowhere to go, in the street, cold, starving, and have absolutely no idea where your next meal is going to come from. Well, for over 7 million animals each year that is the sad reality. I personally own around ten cats that were either from a shelter or on the street starving. I also own two dogs that I have found on the road that had been dumped and left to die. My experience with adopting these animals has truly opened my eyes to how many animals are truly in need of homes. All of these animals are sweet blessings that I wouldn’t trade for the world. If I can find loving furry friends that I love, then so can you. With
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,
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
“While showing the love the dogs has brought great attention to our organization, we realized we can do more for the animal community as well. This epidemic has risen in recent years and needs to be recognized.”
(Charity Navigator, 2015, Charity rating) These numbers are a far cry from what Mr. Bergh told the Governor of New York when he paid a visit to the ASPCA and he stumbled over a hole in the old, tattered carpet and told Mr. Bergh to buy better carpet and send him the bill, Mr. Bergh simply replied, “No, thank you, Governor. But send me the money, and I will put it to better use for the animals. (as cited in Winograd, 2012, ¶3)” Moreover, for the last 15 years, the shelters, rescue groups, feral cat caretakers and No Kill proponents who have tried to restore Bergh’s vision through the No Kill revolution have been opposed by those like past ASPCA CEO Ed Sayres, supported by a Board of Directors content to count the money, all of whom appear intent on squandering Bergh’s noble legacy. When we look back on Mr. Berg’s life’s mission and what he wanted to accomplish and then look at the ASPCA today, one must wonder what happened? While it is not an easy task to undertake, we will take a look at animal “shelter”

I am helping out as a volunteer at Philly ACCT (Animal Care and Control Team of Philadelphia) located at 111 W Hunting Park Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19140. Tons of animals are abandoned love during these precious times and I want to be the one to change that. I know what
Humans to the Rescue! We often hear sad stories of animals being brutally injured, or even killed, by people. They’re often hunted, poached, and clubbed. I mean, let’s face it, we are still battling Animal Rights issues and several people still don’t agree that animals are worth all that trouble. As a dog owner, and lover of animals in general, I am very aware that each one has it’s own personality and deserve to be treated with more respect than they usually get. But the people that Business2Community are highlighting thought that these creatures were worth risking their lives for. You can see a whole list of people helping animals out of situations that many people wouldn’t have. One man even saved a bear from drowning!
Any donations come my way will be distribute toward helping Anti-Trump Movements and other Anti-Humane
HELPING OTHERS IN HARD TIMES In developed countries poverty is not a problem, almost every person has enough of everything to waste. Even they have money to own a pet and expend high quantities of money on them. According with World Bank* study 1.2 Billions of people live in poverty in developing countries. Many countries around the world are assisting individuals in need; The United States are one of them. This country has a diverse types of organizations which help developing countries fight for different problems in its rural areas. In developing countries, people hardly have food, tap water, or a good place to live. World Vision and ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to animals) were founded in United States, to benefit
Well, luckily, there are shelters in different places that help animals that aren’t able to take care of themselves. Did you know that every year 3.3 million dogs and 3.2 million cats enter animal shelters in U.S.? If you think that figure was huge, now imagine around 1.5 million of them are being euthanized every year because the shelter doesn’t have enough money or volunteers (ASPCA) to take care of them. However, this number can be significantly reduced if we start to make a change. With my speech, I would like to persuade you to from now on look for pets in a shelter instead of a pet store. In order to do this, I will provide information about the differences between shelters and pet stores, reasons to adopt a pet, and how to do it.
