Help American Humane Celebrate Their 130th Anniversary!

Sponsored by: Care2
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.
deadline: 10-29-2008
goal: 10,000

I have took in animals for years. Giving them a place to stay whenwe could. I have took in three cats right now that need a home. I have a stay in my garage that that sommeone drop off that has had three kittens with us. We have found homes for two and we are getting them fixed so they can have a better life. I try to help where ever I can. I love animals and I give to them as much as I can. If everyone will help just one animal out, there would one less that would help the having to many out there.

I have been a volunteer at various animal shelters, as well as with a family resource center for survivors of domestic violence and their children, for a combined several years. It is crucial that folks take the step to self-educate themselves on these pervassive and often silenced issues, then take proactive steps so that we might be able to one day eradicate the abuse of children and animals around the world in an informed, collective effort.
