Union Square went orange on ASPCA Day to celebrates
the ASPCA's (American Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals) 140th birthday and spread
awareness of the importance of both preventing
cruelty to animals in our community and making
adoption the first option. Doggies, kittys and
their humans dressed up in orange and gathered
in Union Square. Volunteers offered advice for
pet owners and answered question on adoptions
and live music, happy animals and loving humans
filled the Square.
Here is a quote from the ASPCA website: “The
ASPCA is dedicated to making New York a no-kill
city, and a safer, healthier environment for the
companion animals who already have homes. We bring
free/low-cost spay/neuter services to all five
boroughs via our mobile clinic, and our Humane
Law Enforcement agents are on the beat daily to
investigate complaints of animal cruelty.
"Whether you visit our 424 East 92nd Street
headquarters to adopt an animal, bring your pet
to see a vet at our Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital,
or volunteer with us, we hope you’ll be
a part of our community.”
