The Aspca Is-American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is reconignised as the royal society for prevention of cruelty to animals here in australia Ect.
The ASPCA was founded in 1866 as the first humane organization in the Western Hemisphere. The Society was formed to alleviate the injustices animals faced then, and we continue to battle cruelty today. Whether it's saving a pet who has been accidentally poisoned, fighting to pass humane laws, rescuing animals from abuse or sharing resources with shelters across the country, we work toward the day in which no animal will live in pain or fear.
Today, the ASPCA has over 680,000 members and donors and continues to prevent cruelty and alleviate the pain, fear and suffering of animals through nationwide education, awareness and legislative programs.
The ASPCA headquarters in New York City houses one of the area's largest full service animal hospitals, an adoption facility,and the Humane Law Enforcement Department, which is responsible for enforcing New York's animal cruelty laws.
Since 1866, the ASPCA has sought to educate and inform the public on animal welfare issues.Our position statements help us to define our mission. These position statements reflect "where we stand" on a variety of animal welfare issues. Some of these statements are as follows:
The ASPCA believes, and it is our position, that appropriate pets properly maintained are fully justified and of enormous value to human health and well-being.
The ASPCA supports micro-chipping identification systems for all companionanimals. Eventual standardization within that industry will lead to many benefits,especially but not limited to reuniting lost animals with their owners.
The ASPCA advocates that all traffic and
trade in wildlife parts and products,
especially from threatened and endangered wildlife, should be halted forthwith. The ASPCA supports without reservation all plans, laws and operations to protect wildlife habitat on land and in the seas, rivers, ponds, lakes and streams of the world.
