Be Kind to Animals Week®
May 2 – 8, 2010
Join the event that’s been celebrated every year since 1915 — American Humane’s Be Kind to Animals Week. In this annual tradition, we commemorate the role animals play in our lives, promote ways to continue to treat them humanely, and encourage others, to do the same.
While Be Kind to Animals Week is celebrated only once a year, there are ways people can be kind to animals every day. Here’s how:
Speak out for animals
Get informed about policies and legislation that can impact the animals in your community and throughout the country. Learn more.
Report animal abuse
Animal cruelty and abuse is not only tragic for animals, but also an indicator that other forms of abuse could be happening. If you see something that looks suspicious don’t hesitate. Let someone know.
Adopt a pet from a shelter or rescue
Every year, an estimated 3.7 million animals must be euthanized at our nation’s shelters because they could not be adopted into loving homes. Help animals find a second chance at happiness by adopting your next pet from your local shelter or rescue group. Adoptions at Better Days are 50% Off May 2-8 to Celebrate.
