I Was watching the morning news this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see the screen filled with cats and dogs being held by volunteers all dressed in orange(the bright color choice of the ASPCA)
"It is our hope that by identifying the combined efforts of the ASPCA and its partners with this color, the public will begin to identify "orange" with the welfare of animals all across the country," said Sayres, President.
Tonight the Empire State building and Niagara Falls will be "dressed" in orange...to honor the ASPCA, how cool is that!!
Here it is!!
FROM THE ASPCA WEBSITE:
Founded in 1866, the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) was the first humane organization established in the Americas, and today has more than one million supporters throughout North America. A 501 [c] [3] not-for-profit corporation, the ASPCA's mission is to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States. The ASPCA provides local and national leadership in animal-assisted therapy, animal behavior, animal poison control, anti-cruelty, humane education, legislative services, and shelter outreach. The New York City headquarters houses a full-service, accredited animal hospital, adoption center, and mobile clinic outreach program. The Humane Law Enforcement department enforces New York's animal cruelty laws and is featured on the reality television series "Animal Precinct" on Animal Planet.
