The ASPCA is Founded - April 10, 1866
Appointed to a diplomat post at the Russian court of Czar Alexander II, Henry Bergh observed horses being whipped to make them obey. Horrified by what he saw, he stopped into London on his way back to the U.S. to visit an animal cruelty prevention society there and took notes. When he came back home, he was able to start the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and the law was enacted to protect animals from being mistreated.
