American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in New York, NY

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) is the first humane society established in North America and is now one of the largest in the world. Founded by Henry Bergh in 1866, the organization is based on the principle that animals deserve kind and respectful treatment from humans and must be legally protected.
