Weekly Carriage Horse Cruelty Demo
Hack Line at Central Park

New York, New York
Weekly Carriage Horse Cruelty Protest in New York City. Week after week, we bear witness to the suffering and the exploitation of the carriage horses. Look at them. This is not the kind of horse that should be dragging a carriage.....through traffic and under horrible street conditions.
We have watched as the horses are roughly handled and mistreated. We have watched week after week as the drivers break the law with impunity, without correction or reprimand.
Activists do not want to spend our Sundays bearing witness to this exploitation. But we must, lest their suffering go without witness. Join us. Literature and signs will be provided. Just bring a loud voice and a passion to speak out for the horses. For more information contact: Win Animal Rights winanimalrights@optonline.net or call: 1-646-267-9934

St. Francis of Assisi, an Italian monk who died 783 years ago, may be the most celebrated Christian voice to affirm the moral worth of animals. According to stories, he often spoke of humans’ sacred relationship with other animals, and addressed those around him as “brother hare” or “my sisters, the birds.” (When he was especially tired or achey, he also called his body “Brother Donkey”!)
In honor of his feast day which takes place this week, we join with churches around the world in offering a Blessing of the Animals. Bring your dogs, cats, hamsters, ferrets, parrots, parakeets, canaries, lizards, chameleons, garden snakes and other friendly pets to this special service of blessing. In the Gesthamene Garden.

For over 100 years, the Humane Society of New York has been a presence in New York City, caring for animals in need when illness, injury or homelessness strikes. In 1904 we were founded to protect the city's horses against abuse. Members fought for laws to punish negligent owners and place watering troughs in streets and parks. As funds allowed the Society expanded to include a free medical clinic and a small adoption center for cats and dogs. Today our hospital and our Vladimir Horowitz and Wanda Toscanini Horowitz Adoption Center help more than 30,000 dogs and cats annually, and their numbers continue to grow.

Keeper Talks are scheduled on a day-by-day basis. Check the board next to the wall map in the Main Lobby for details.
A walrus sucks herring out of a giant straw, a sea otter plays a toy retrieve game for a scrumptious prize, and penguins bob for fish. Please note that feeding times are subject to change on a daily basis, based on the animals' needs. Check the schedule at the Aquarium's main entrance to confirm times.
Translate for a penguin.What are the penguins braying about? It’s likely they're either saying “Here I am!” “Why’d you do that!” or “Hello, friend!”
Do the octopus wave? The giant Pacific octopus is an eight-armed hunter and master of camouflage who uses the suction cups of his tentacles to grab prey.
Discover the real Mr. Moms. For seahorses, it is the males that carry the babies. With tails entwined, the female seahorse deposits her eggs into her mate’s pouch.
Saving Penguins: The Wildlife Conservation Society saves penguins and their habitats, which are threatened by pollution—such as from oil spills—and coastal development. WCS conservationists also work to prevent excessive penguin egg and guano collection, and to create sustainable alternatives to fishing when it imperils the birds’ main food sources. http://www.nyaquarium.com/contact-us.aspx

Dogs, Man's best friend plays an important role on our Inpatient Rehabilitation Units. The Therapeutic Recreation department at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital works closely with the Volunteer Department, The Delta Society and the Good Dog Foundation to provide teams of trained dogs to visit patients as part of a therapeutic intervention.
Dogs are now learning to be facilitators in therapeutic settings. Research on the health benefits of animals is extensive and the results are being put to good use. They are shown to increase social and verbal interaction, to help maintain function and improve ability to perform activities of daily living among the elderly.
They has also been shown to decrease loneliness in residents of long term care facilities, enhances relaxation, and the most striking finding is that it lowers blood pressure.
Dogs can give someone a reason to take a walk, improve balance, retrieve objects, sit for a good brushing, or just provide companionship, non-judgmental support, and a fun-loving attitude. We hope to welcome many more visits from our new friends and old friends alike! Locations, numbers: http://nyp.org/services/rehabmed/contact.html

Dogs Have Angels Too” Book Signing & Adoptions
Unleashed by Petco
159 Columbus Avenue
New York, NY 10009
“Dogs Have Angels Too” author Sara Cavallaro will host a book signing! Bidaewee shelter will also be on site with adoptable pets to answer any questions and hopefully find them forever homes. Drinks and appetizers for guests.
About book: A heart-warming comedy of errors for all dog lovers of the twenty-first century... In the dog-eat-dog world of recessionary New York City, the irrepressible Miss Pink leads a pack of down-on-their-luck women, who ultimately find hope in the most unlikely of places: an over-crowded animal shelter, where unwanted pets are routinely abandoned to their grim fates. Miss Pink, a former marketing exec...utive and divorcee who's intermittently homeless herself, makes it her mission to find homes for a growing bevy of cuddly canines. Her "adoption walks" bring her to meet a series of fellow New Yorkers, all of whom are struggling with their own personal and financial crises. In other words, they are all uniquely ripe or recruitment in Miss Pink's master plan- which she's devising on the fly, by the seat of her favorite pink pants!

Chase the loneliness away. Our pet therapy program is proof of what scientists are only just now publicly recognizing as a clinical fact: animals can help people feel and get better.
Every day, SPCA volunteers take specially trained shelter dogs or their own dogs to visit the institutionalized in over 40 Westchester facilities, including nursing and retirement homes, hospitals, and group homes and day care centers for the developmentally disabled and mentally ill.
The visits give patients a link to the outside world and serve as catalysts for conversation, physical therapy, and friendship. The program also has the added benefit of making specially trained SPCA Shelter dogs more adoptable.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer or sponsoring a Shelter dog as an Outreach pet, click link on website to print and mail us your application, or fill in an online application that will be emailed to us.
