Celebrate the annual tradition of “Be Kind to Animals Week”, May 3-9 by promoting ways to treat animals humanely. It’s also a great opportunity to teach your children respect for all living beings.

The American Humane Association has been celebrating “Be Kind to Animals Week” since 1915. The American Humane Association was founded in 1877 to protect animals and children from abuse and neglect. Today, they work with child and animal protection agencies around the country to develop policies, legislation, and training programs to carry out their original mission. In this annual tradition of “Be Kind to Animals Week,” shelters across the nation commemorate the role animals play in our lives, promote ways to continue to treat them humanely, and encourage others, especially children, to do the same. In honor of this celebration, and to ensure the message of the American Humane Association is carried on by future generations, show your children how to be kind and respectful towards all animals.

Show you care in the home.
