The Benefits Of The Humane Society

Linking to my selected public business RSPCA, they aims is to stop cruelty and promote kindness to all ease suffering of all wildlife. Another aim is to improve the welfare of pets by every pet is favoured and has a loving family to take care of each pet. Furthermore, another aim for RSPCA is to raise values for animals worldwide and to develop animal welfare law and ensure it is applied.

I chose to interview the SPCA of Wake County (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Wake County). The SPCA was founded in 1971, to take animals from high kill shelters. But they did not run as an effective shelter during this time. In 2003 they opened their adoption center, which is known for having a much better quality of care than most shelters, and the animals are housed very uniquely, with open rooms instead of cages for the cats and dogs. The mission of the SPCA is “To protect, shelter and promote the adoption of homeless animals; to provide education about responsible pet ownership and to reduce pet overpopulation through spay/neuter programs.” The SPCA offers adoption programs, volunteering, affordable food, vet care;

ASPCA was founded in 1866 by Henry Bergh. ASPCA is a charity that helps prevent cruelty to animals. There headquarters are in New York City. ASPCA was created because Henry Bergh believed that animal cruelty was a terrible thing and it should be eliminated. I quote Henry Bergh, “to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States”. Basically, what he is saying, is that the goal of ASPCA is to protect animals from harsh people, homes, and their health(ASPCA).

One extracurricular activity that is important to me is volunteering at the Skagit Valley Humane Society. I have always enjoyed being around animals so I decided to volunteer. I can help animals that have lost everything and just need someone to love them. While volunteering I walk the dogs, clean cages or whatever the staff needs me to do. The animals love the attention they get and only want to be loved. This experience made me realize that caring for animals is something I enjoy doing.

The benefits of the SPCA is that its volunteers not only help the animals but, people and the community, too. According to Warren Cox, executive director of the SPCA "We must work together to create a better world foe people and for animals...a place of love, kindness, and compassion." The SPCA's mission statement is

The research done on the Bartholomew County Humane Society, was completed for having a better understanding of their mission for the community and to find out any problems they might have or are encountering currently. The research done, consisted viewing their home page online, studying their financial reports, statistics on animals and shelters, and finally an interview between the manager of the BCHS organization and a local newspaper writer.

When most people think about Animal Control shelters, it usually negative. Animal control shelters get an unjust reputation of just being a place where unwanted, problem dogs go to be euthanized. I mean, you call the your local animal control office when you see a stray dog hanging around the neighborhood, right? They show up in a van or truck driven by a uniformed officer who carries a scary looking pole with a loop on it to catch animals. Well, there’s more to your local animal control shelter than just catching stray dogs and cats.

"Every year in the United States, one hundred million of mice, rats, dogs, cats, rabbits, monkeys, and other animals are killed in laboratories across the world" (Harden, 2016). Animal cruelty is unfortunately a growing problem across the world. The ASPCA, or The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, works tirelessly to combat this growing concern and save the lives of innocent animals everywhere. The ASPCA’s mission, as stated by their founder Henry Bergh is "to provide effective means for the prevention of the cruelty to animals throughout the United States" (Bershadker, 2016). This non-profit organization boasts a large team of volunteers passionate about saving the lives of animals and

An animal shelter is a place where stray, lost, abandoned, or surrendered animals, mostly dogs and cats and sometimes sick or wounded wildlife, are brought. Animal shelters are essential in the United States because of inattentive pet proprietorship and uncontrolled breeding of animals. People often get pets without a full understanding of the time, money, and space that they require. Regrettably, that recurrently results in pets being abandoned or abused by these owners. Apart from accountable breeders, owners should spay or neuter their pets to stop the serious overpopulation problem, which is happening in the United States. Shelters do not treat or stop the problem of unwanted pets but without them the stray pet population would be astronomical. There would be more problems with disease spread and an increased incidence of stray animal-induced injuries. A shelter should also be a domicile where animals could be benign and feel loved and taken care of; not just a drop off. The shelter in my community tries to do their best with their animals, but I feel that the shelter needs to be able to do their jobs better and for the animals to feel comfortable.

The American Humane Association is a non-profit organization. Since 1877 the American Humane Association has been protecting children, pets and farm animals from abuse and neglect. There had been several organizations the existed before but none of them had a unified voice to promote the humane movement. Finally 27 humane organizations from 10 different states joined together to combine their strength and unite their missions. The first task for the newly found organization was to end the inhumane treatment of farm animals and the deplorable conditions they were kept in.

The Human Society of the United States is the nation’s largest organization to specialize in animal protection.

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

The street that the humane society is on is sketchy, houses were run down. About every 5 to 6 houses were kept up. The people living there were grungy looking, some looked like they may or may not have been on drugs. The animals that the people owned barked all the time and even just walking around, not in a cage or even in the house. Some of the house’s doors were just open as if they didn’t care if someone did come in. With the place in a sketchy neighborhood, people aren’t willing to go to the humane society. People aren’t coming to the humane society to adopt the animals and the ones that do go are college students that aren’t supposed to have pets. Most of the students don’t have the money to keep the animal healthy anyways, they go just to have something to do with their

The Humane Society of the United States has asked Texas U.S. Representative Congressman Al Green for his support. The Humane Society is inviting Congressman Al Green to speak at several events, help pass animal protection laws, and help educate the public about animal protection issues.
