The mission of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is to protect animals, relieve their suffering, advance their health and welfare, prevent cruelty, and work for a just and compassionate society. The MSPCA-Angell believes that all animals possess intrinsic value, independent of their relationships to or use by human beings. Furthermore, the MSPCA-Angell recognizes that the lives of all creatures–human and non-human–are inextricably intertwined; that our actions impact them and our fate is linked to theirs as interdependent inhabitants of the same planet. It is for these reasons that the MSPCA-Angell is dedicated to the protection of animals and the advancement of their welfare, and believes that these objectives represent legitimate and important areas for society’s ethical and legal concern. The MSPCA-Angell further recognizes that the fate of animals within our society is dependent upon the willingness of human beings to acknowledge the significance of their fellow creatures and to accept responsibility for their well-being. Consequently, the MSPCA-Angell also commits itself to the conduct of programs and activities designed to create an enlightened and compassionate citizenry that is actively concerned about protection of animals and the environment we all share.
