In January of 2008, she decided to stop eating, buying and wearing all animal products.  She loves discovering vegan places to eat, drink and shop and spreading the word about them.  Her spare time is spent mountain biking, running, enjoying a good glass of wine, reading or eating tortilla chips with Jill.
Her guilty pleasure: Crossword Puzzles
How She Defines Her Style:  A combination between sophisticated and chick.
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) was one of the earliest organizations to publicize and work toward the abolishment of cruel treatment of animals. These included horses and other work animals, dogs, cats, pigeons, and any other animal that found itself in the care of—or subject to use by—human beings. Founded in New York City in the 1860s by Henry Bergh, a well-to-do man who was troubled and appalled by the treatment of “these mute servants of mankind,” the ASPCA has continued and expanded upon Bergh’s work in the century and a half since its beginning.

Bergh was born New York in 1813 to a wealthy family and as an adult traveled the world, sometimes living in Europe. Appointed by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863 to a diplomatic position in Russia, Bergh was disturbed by incidents of cruelty to animals he witnessed there and elsewhere in Europe; such sights were also commonplace in the United States. A great admirer of horses in particular, he determined to work to obtain mercy and justice for animals. In London he consulted with the earl of Harrowby, president of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Once back in the United States, Bergh spoke out about the suffering of animals—for example, in bullfights, cockfights, and slaughterhouses and in everyday incidents, such as the beating of horses, that took place on the streets. He created a Declaration of the Rights of Animals and persuaded many influential people to sign it. These consciousness-raising efforts paved the way for his foundation of the ASPCA in 1866, when it received its charter from the New York state legislature. Days later the legislature passed anticruelty legislation, and the ASPCA was granted authority to enforce it.

Since that time laws regulating the treatment of animals have been passed in many countries—in the United States, at all levels of government—and the animal protection movement has grown exponentially, yet such cruelty as Bergh spoke out against continues. Laws against animal cruelty are not often enforced to their fullest extent. It takes the energy and efforts of caring citizens and of groups like the ASPCA to make sure that lawbreakers are prosecuted and animals protected.

Today the ASPCA is a nationally influential organization that engages in the direct protection of animals through its shelters and adoption facilities. The ASPCA shelter in Manhattan places, on average, 2,000 animals (about 1,400 cats and 400 dogs) into new homes annually. It also lobbies for animal-protection legislation, promotes humane education, provides grants, and sponsors research on many programs for the prevention of cruelty to animals. The officers of the ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement (HLE) Department make upwards of 75 arrests for animal cruelty each year. They are also the stars of the popular TV reality series Animal Precinct, seen on the Animal Planet station.
