Be Kind to Animals Week (this year: May 6-12, 2012)
"In
1914... MSPCA (Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals) president Francis Rowley convinced AHA(the American Humane
Association) members to sponsor a national, week-long event to celebrate
the work of both these youth groups and adult humanitarians... the
third week of May 1915 marked the first 'Be Kind to Animals Week,'
during which state organizations posted exhibits, held gatherings, and
awarded medals commemorating the event."
For the Prevention of Cruelty by Diane L. Beers (p. 89)
