Pledge to Be Kind to Animals

It may seem minor, but showing kindness to animals can change the world. The more that people regularly practice and teach humane attitudes and positive treatment towards all living beings, the more likely our world will become a better place for both animals and people.

It is up to you to help us lead the way to a kinder and more compassionate future. Here are a few ways how:

-Report animal cruelty
-Adopt your next pet
-Take your dog to a basic obedience class
-Provide your pet regular veterinary care
-Spay or neuter your pet
-Include animals in your children's lives (read a story, volunteer at a local shelter, or take a nature walk to spy local wildlife)
-Volunteer at your local animal shelter

Violence is cyclical, and studies show that child abuse, domestic violence and animal abuse are all interconnected. Often, when children commit animal abuse, this is an indicator that other forms of violence are also occurring in the home. Showing kindness and empathy toward animals is a first step toward breaking the cycle of violence.

Kindness is contagious. Spread it!
