The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) sponsors a month-long awareness campaign every April. The organization asks its supporters to help bring awareness to issues of animal abuse and neglect throughout the month and offers several suggestions for how they can do that.

The American Association for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals started an awareness campaign many years ago dedicated to educating the public about animal abuse. That event takes place in April, and Animal Cruelty/Human Violence Week runs from April 18 to 24.
