The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) continues its traditional role of preventing cruelty by direct action of law enforcement. In addition, however, the ASPCA recognizes that achieving its vision of humane communities across the United States will require education, advocacy and other forms of intervention that support the beneficial relationship between people and animals.
The ASPCA has been and continues to be wholly committed to effecting change through nonviolent approaches. The ASPCA does not believe that threats, destruction of property or violence appropriately express the nature of a movement that endorses kindness and respect.
Although the ASPCA was founded to protect New York City’s working horses, its mission, as stated by Henry Bergh, has always included all animals in the United States. In 1866, the ASPCA was the only organization in North America dedicated to animal protection. Since that time, however, many additional humane organizations have been created to protect specific kinds of animals, such as farm animals, marine animals and wildlife. As a result, since 2001, the ASPCA has been able to focus on companion animals. The ASPCA is concerned with welfare issues of animals in the following categories:
- Companion animals
- Food animals and livestock
- Animals in research and education
- Animals in entertainment, sport and work
- Wild animals
In each of these areas, the ASPCA has developed policies that express the society’s view regarding the appropriate treatment of animals. The ASPCA’s policies are grounded in the belief that animals are inherently deserving of our respect, compassion and consideration of their needs. The ASPCA’s policies are based on empirical evidence and are supported by scientific research that establishes animals’ capacity to feel pain and suffer.
The ASPCA believes that whether or not to consume animals, and animal products such as milk and eggs, is a personal and private determination that must be left to each individual. However, the ASPCA firmly believes that animals who are bred, raised and killed or harvested for human consumption, like all animals, are entitled to protection from distress and suffering during their lives and at the time of their deaths.
ASPCA policies are articulated by senior staff and are reviewed and approved by the society’s board of directors.
