I just started donating to the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) today and I thought I would share it with the forum to see if anyone else would like to donate as well. They have a few different options as far as donation amounts... but I chose the $25 a month amount. I'd like to see as many people as I can to join and donate as well. It goes to a great cause. (And I'd like to see some more compassion, which is becoming more and more rare on this site now-a-days) Just go to...http://www.MyASPCA.org You can also do a one time donation if you don't feel comfortable doing a monthly commitment. Anyways, lets see how many people we can get on here to donate.
thats a really great idea, (unless your just after our money) i ahve 2 cats and i shudder to think about hurting them, i worry all the time, am i feeding them right, are they ok, why is archie being sick? i however already donate to the RSPCA because i buy goods that part of the money goes to them
It is a good idea... and no, I don't work for the ASPCA or anything so I am not after your money. lol I just love animals. I've had dogs and cats my whole life... at one point we had 13 dogs, 8 cats, 3 horses, 20 cows, and 10 bulls, ALL as pets. We didn't sell the cows or kill them or anything, we just keep them and protect them.
I'd rather give to the spaying and neutering campaign. That way I prevent more animals needing help. Low-cost spaying & neutering Would you like to spay or neuter your pet but can’t afford to?

We got our cats from them. When we get a dog, we plan on getting it from them as well. My sister-in-law is very active with them she volunteers. I don't give money to them, I give to the homeless shelters. I care more about people than animals. I just do. The ASPCA had a black Friday sale after Thanksgiving. It usually costs $50 to rescue and animal, they knocked it down to $25. It was a good idea. A lot of animals got rescued.
Well, I encourage anyone and everyone to do what they can to help animals. I am a "card-carrying" member of the ASPCA, SPCA, and PETA. And vegetarian.
this is a much better option. about the only thing i think of when someone mentions ASPCA is dog fights.
??? No! They do rescues. They helped Hurrica Katrina animals. Neglected/abused animals from puppy mills, dog fights, etc. Anyone watch these shows? I had to quit. It was to upsetting http://animal.discovery.com/fansites/animalcops/animalcops.html
And PETA uses a more hands on approach to fighting animal cruelty such as raiding meat factories, fur coat stores and what not. Where as the ASPCA rescues, takes care of, and puts animals up for adoption no matter how long it takes.
