Preventing Animal Cruelty

 

April is Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month, a nationwide observance dedicated to raising awareness about animal cruelty and finding ways to combat it, as recognized by the ASPCA since 2006. 

This month is a time to focus on preventing animal cruelty and promoting animal welfare. 

ASPCA's Role:

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) officially recognizes April as Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month. 

Raising Awareness:

The goal is to raise awareness about the mistreatment of animals and encourage people to take action to prevent cruelty. 

How to Get Involved:

You can participate by utilizing social media, adopting a shelter animal, partnering with organizations advocating for change, starting or donating to fundraising campaigns, reporting neglect and abuse, volunteering at local animal shelters, or lobbying for change. 

Other Organizations:

The MSPCA-Angell also recognizes April as Animal Cruelty Prevention Month. 

World Animal Month:

October is celebrated as World Animal Month in over 80 countries, which aims to bring attention to and increase appreciation of animals. 

So, if you're an animal love like I am (a rescue Mommy), I hope you can help prevent animal cruelty. Kathryn
