    The not for profit company I have chosen for this assignment is the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. This company was founded in 1866 by Henry Bergh and was the first humane organization founded in the western hemisphere. Today, it is one of the largest humane organizations in the world. Their area of interest is nationwide with a focus to rescue animals from abuses, pass humane laws and share resources with shelters. The mission statement is “to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States.” Some of the activities they participate in include community outreach, animal health services, and anti-cruelty initiatives. The ASPC is privately funded, but also receives donations which are solicited in various ways like television commercials and online advertisements. The core values center around the belief “that animals were entitled to kind and respectful treatment at the hands of human and must be protected under the law.”…

    The Spot: Lingering videos of dispirited animals immediately flood the screen. Sarah McLauchlan’s song “In the Arms of an Angel” plays boldly in the background. In between the videos, startling facts appear plainly across the screen: “Every day in America thousands of animals suffer from cruelty and neglect,” “Thousands were rescued last year,” and “But for thousands of others help came too late.” Sarah McLauchlan, supporter of and speaker for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), then appears on the screen with two dogs. She says, “These animals are crying out for our help,” and, ”For just $18 a month you can help rescue animals from abuse and provide them with medical care, food,…

    Why Donate to the ASPCA?

    • 971 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The first reason someone should be willing to donate to the ASPCA because they help to fight against animal cruelty. Dog fighting has been a huge part of animal cruelty for some time now. The dog fighting consists of two dogs fighting, pretty much to the death. According to The Humane Society of the United States “the fights average one to two hours, ending when one of the dogs will not or cannot continue” (Dogfighting). The injuries that the dogs sustain from these fights are usually extremely severe. Sometimes these dog fights can result in fatal injuries where the dog later dies. “The dogs used in these events often die of blood loss, shock, dehydration, exhaustion, or infection hours or even days after the fight” (Dogfighting). There are also animal cruelty cases where the owner of an animal intentionally physically harms…

    It is commonly known that every human being on this earth is different. We all have different personalities, morals, values, interests, and hobbies. This diversity between one another is what makes every person unique and special in their own way. Ever since I was a little girl, I have always had a great love for animals. While growing up, my family always had household pets that I quickly bonded and became the best of friends with. From cats to rabbits, hamsters to turtles, and fish to lizards, I had it all. And I loved every one of them. My passion for animals was simply only a passion, until I came across an opportunity to become a member of the JCAPL (Johnston County Animal Protection League). For the first time ever, I was able to create a hobby out of my infatuation of animals. In Carolyn Ellis’ “Autoethnography: An Introduction,” she defines authothnography as “writing about the personal and its relationship to culture" (Ellis, 2004, p. 37). With respect to this definition, I will explore my personal experiences as a JCAPL volunteer through autoethnography by both critically examining previous sociological works on volunteers ' experiences, and encourage new research on this topic.…

    Although the equal rights of animals is in question, The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) effectively advocates for the well-being of animals by providing health care assistance and legal advocacy, searching out the problem to find a solution that is potent, and rescuing them from danger. The ASPCA does compile available resources with intentions to better the lives of animals. Statistics substantiate that the numbers of animals entering shelters in a year's time does not counterpart with the number of animals leaving the shelter in the same year’s time. For this reason, the ASPCA sets out to not only find, but also to resolve the conflict. The organization has…

    As the single child in a family with working parents, I spent the most time of my childhood living and hanging around with my dog. This experience might be one of the reasons that I am very compassionate to animals and sensitive to people’s needs. My voluntary work is in a welfare house called Alenah's home. I love working there because I like seeing the smile face of the children there – even some autism babies don’t smile facially, I believe they can feel the love when being caressed softly.…

    “A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” This quote by Oliver Wendall Holmes can be applied to numerous situations in our lives. Throughout my whole life, I rarely ever did community service. Though I went to nursing homes and sang carols during Christmas, I really never considered it to be true volunteer work. I was usually too busy to have any spare time to volunteer and when I did have spare time, volunteer work was never the first thing on my mind. Volunteering last Wednesday, however, did stretch my mind. Because this was my first instance of true volunteer work, everything about it was a new experience. I chose to volunteer to work the table at the blood drive at the Recreational Center because I’ve donated blood before and feel that it is very helpful and necessary to the process of saving lives. Working “behind the scenes” of the blood drive was different though. By sitting there and helping out the donors and handing out snacks afterwards, I got to see the donor community in a different way. Not only that, but a lot of times, I found it to be my responsibility to assure donors that the process was quite easy and painless. Many people came in looking unsure about whether or not they would really donate and these were the people I spent the most time talking to. My “old dimensions” were the thoughts that blood drives just easily happened; people showed up, they donated and that was all that was to it. Volunteering at the blood drive helped me better understand that things like this wouldn’t be possible if there weren’t people to volunteer at them and help everything run smoothly. By my mind being stretched by this experience, I’ve learned that even only helping out for a few hours can go a long way. I feel so much differently about volunteer work now; instead of it being a burden that I’ve been “sentenced to”, it is actually an easy way to give back to the community. On the day of the blood drive, I collected…

    In this volunteer project should we clean the beach, but that wasn’t our primary project to conduct. Our primary project was taking care of the dogs, feed them, wash them and walk them. We voted for that project and were the most popular project, so we choose that. Unfortunately something happened, and we couldn’t do that volunteer project, the reason was, that we needed stay as active volunteers for about 3 months, because we only have AY foundation about 6 weeks, wouldn’t it be available to conduct that project, otherwise we should use our spare time the following weeks, to complete the process! Due to the short time, Clarissa chooses for us and found this organization which clean up Isla Vista, our focus was on the beach, because of ocean. The beach becomes dirtier and dirtier every year!…
