Previous Week's Speaker: SPCA John Matrisciano

The ASPCA was founded in 1876 in response to carriage horses being neglected. Today the animals needing service are mainly dogs and cat.

The mission of the ASPCA is to promote kindness and prevent cruelty to animals. John’s purpose in speaking to us today was to educate us. It is his purpose to educate everyone about the potential 20-year commitment we make when we choose to adopt an animal.

The ASPCA statewide manages about 50,000 animals during the course of one year.

In response to questions:
1. Do you receive more animals when the semester ends? A. No. Although there are a few abandoned. The students have gotten the message about animals.

2. What was your most exotic animal? A. Couldn’t really say specifically but they have had monkeys, mountain lions, and bears.
