To kick off our new Thoughtful Thursday we're going to spotlight an organization that Cassandra Clare supports, and that's the ASPCA.
The ASPCA was the first humane organization in the Western Hemisphere. Our mission, as stated by our founder, Henry Bergh, in 1866, is “to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States.”
The ASPCA is a privately funded organization with over 1 million supporters across the US. Here's what they do to protect the lives of animals-
As the first humane organization to be granted legal authority to investigate and make arrests for crimes against animals, we are wholly dedicated to fulfilling the ASPCA mission through nonviolent approaches. Our organization provides local and national leadership in three key areas: caring for pet parents and pets, providing positive outcomes for at-risk animals and serving victims of animal cruelty.
