December 1867 CE
The newly formed ASPCA operates its first ambulance for injured horses in 1867, advocates alternatives for inhumane actions toward animals such as horses, live pigeons, cats and dogs, and writes its first annual report after a man is sentenced to ten days in prison for beating a cat to death.
The ASPCA had moved steadily forward, and by August 1866 had been in flourishing financial condition, having received a valuable property from Henry Bergh and his wife.
Early goals of ASPCA focus on efforts for horses and livestock, since at this time they are used for a number of activities.
