Honoring The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals 
  for its 135 years of service to the people of the United States and 
                             their animals.

Whereas April 10, 2001, is the 135th anniversary of the founding of The American 
        Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (``ASPCA'');
Whereas ASPCA has provided services to millions of people and their animals 
        since its establishment in 1866 in New York City by Henry Bergh;
Whereas ASPCA was the first humane society established in the western 
        hemisphere;
Whereas ASPCA teaches children the character-building virtues of compassion, 
        kindness, and respect for all God's creatures;
Whereas the dedicated directors, staff, and volunteers of ASPCA have provided 
        shelter, medical care, behavioral counseling, and placement for 
        abandoned, abused, or homeless animals in the United States for more 
        than a century; and
Whereas ASPCA, through its observance of April as Prevention of Cruelty to 
        Animals Month and its promotion of humane animal treatment through 
        programs on law enforcement, education, shelter outreach, poison 
        control, legislative affairs, counseling, veterinary services, and 
        behavioral training, has provided invaluable services to the people of 
        the United States and their animals: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,

SECTION 1. HONORING THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY 
              TO ANIMALS.
