the principle that
animals deserve
to live according
to their own
natures, free
from harm,
abuse, and
exploitation.

corners and
don’t spend
enough time or
money to keep
their pets happy
and able to live
properly.
WARNING.

5. Some people take out their
anger on animals and abuse
them. Others find pleasure in
hurting animals and kill or
injure them.

10. The animal rights
movement first started
with the American Society
for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals
(ASPCA) in 1866.
Even the
Nazis had
animal
testing
restrictions!

11. In the U.S., the Animal Welfare Act of
1966 is the primary Federal Law which
regulates cruelty to animals and has
been amended six times in its
existence. It is the only law which
regulates the treatment of animals.

12. ASPCA’s website
lists opportunities
for people to join
demonstrations
against such things
as puppy mills.
The site also lists
adoption centers
for people to adopt
needy animals.

13. There are plenty of ways to
promote animal rights and to
oppose animal testing and
the exploitation of animals.
April is Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals Month. One of
the simplest ways to help
out animals is to treat your
pets humanely!
