The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has been around for many years. In fact, it is the first humane organization that was founded in the Western Hemisphere. Thanks to their efforts, millions of animals, including domestic animals, zoo and farm animals have been saved from torture and neglect. Their mission is simple. They only want to alleviate the injustices that animals face on our planet. By understanding more about this amazing organization, one can learn what they can do to help the animals of the world.

In 1866, a man by the name of Henry Bergh thought that the work horses of New York needed his help. He was the founding father of the ASPCA, and more than likely when he began this great movement, he didn’t comprehend that it would become an organization, which not only helped horses in the state of New York in 1866, but one that would continue to help all animals that face abuse, well into the 21st century.

Since 2001, the organization has focused solely on companion animals, as it was decided that these animals needed the most help. They believe that an incredible bond exists between companion dogs and cats, and humans. Thanks to the policies of the ASPCA, the world of domestic animals is a little better.
