On Oct. 9, American Humane celebrated an amazing 130 years of working to protect children and animals.
In 1894, the link between animal abuse and violence toward people was first mentioned at American Humane's annual convention. In 1940, they opened an office in Hollywood to prevent cruelty to animals in film and television, after a horse tragically fell from a cliff during the production of the film Jesse James. And in 1955, they published detailed guidelines on child protection standards and practices.
These are just a few of the early milestones that American Humane celebrated, and they continue to do great work for children and animals alike.
To celebrate with them, sign this petition and tell them how you will help further their mission of protecting animals and children. Here are some ideas:
Volunteer at a local animal shelter or children's organization,
Donate to American Humane,
Take action in your city and state on animal and children's issues, and
Learn more about protecting children and animals at www.americanhumane.org.
We signed the “Help American Humane Celebrate Their 130th Anniversary!” petition!
