Fundraising Comparisons
At work since 2003, the Colorado Alliance for Cruelty Prevention (CACP) is a multidisciplinary organization devoted to assisting professionals in understanding both the "light" and the "dark" side of the Link and their role in fostering healthy human-animal interaction.
Animals have long been a part of human life. Some species have been incorporated in to the family. Others are integral parts of adults' and childrens' lives through song, story, art, and even clothing decals. This bond with animals, especially pets, results in bonds that cannot only be nurturing but can also be exploited. Read more about the LINK between human and animal violence.
Vision: Humans and animals living together in a violence-free environment.
Mission: To establish a coalition of stakeholders that provides interdisciplinary leadership and methods in the prevention, intervention and treatment of human and animal cruelty in Colorado.
