Why People Need to be Educated on the ASPCA The American Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) is a great organization that everyone should be educated on. This organization gives us the knowledge and assistance about how we need to treat animals with respect and what to do in certain circumstances so that humans and animals can live together in harmony. If more people were educated properly o how to treat animals, then there would be fewer animals left neglected and in shelters.
Looking at the development, the guiding principles and the services of the ASPCA, and their main three areas of services are; Community Outreach, Animal Health Services and Anti-Cruelty
The department focuses on the measurement of programming and processes, as well as the development of news and innovative programs and processes. The Shelter Research and Development team continues to support, measure, and advance two of the ASPCA’s innovative shelter programs. The ASPCA provides animal welfare grants to organizations across the country, which helps them to respond quickly to emergencies with financial assistance where it is needed most, and to carefully match resources with needs across the country. The ASPCA is the nation’s second-largest animal welfare grant maker, providing support to United States based nonprofit animal welfare organizations through cash grants, sponsorships, executive and technical assistance, and training. Grants are available for a wide range of activities that further the ASPCA’s mission. Animal Health Services provide a wide variety of resources for pet parents. The programs under the Animal Health Services include, Animal Poison Control Center, ASPCA Animal Hospital, ASPCA in Los Angeles, California, and Spay/ Neuter Operations in New York
They are a self-supporting non-profit organization, so they require help from the pet owners or anyone who is willing to donate to help out. The ASPCA relies solely on donations and money raised through fundraisers. Donating to the organization is the only way that they can keep providing these programs, hospitals, and shelters for animals. Donating and supporting the ASPCA can potentially save animals lives. There are a lot of companies that have partnered up with the ASPCA to raise money. A few of these companies include Swiffer, Febreeze, and Hartville Pet Insurance Group. These companies basically advertise through their products to raise money to donate to the ASPCA. The ASPCA partnering with these large groups is a great way for them to raise money to fund the things that they should need to help these animals. Not only is the ASPCA there to help provide education to the pet owners and people, but they are also there to enforce laws when it comes to animals. The ASPCA plays a very important role in protecting animals with the assistance of the police departments. They deal with cases ranging from neglect or abuse to dog fighting. Without the ASPCA there would be so many more abused and neglected animals in the
