17 Posters From The 1930s, The Age Of Great Depression, That Promote Kindness To Animals

This still happens way to often...

Leaving pets behind is indefensible. Your pet's "natural hunter instinct" does NOT kick in. Guess what they do? Hang out by your house slowly starving to death or if you dump them end up getting run over trying to find their way home. Take them to a shelter. In south Florida, there is an area called the Redlands where breeders dump less than perfect dogs and other irresponsible people dump dogs thinking they will survive with a pack. There are hundreds of dogs down there now. These dogs have been shot, maimed, poisoned, starved to death, one was fed nails. It is outrageous. The people who dump these dogs need to witness the consequence of their actions. https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/Dogs-Dumped-Desperate-and-Left-for-Dead-414910253.html We adopted a Redlands dumped dog. When I first saw him, his eyes were filled with sadness; it was heartbreaking. He is a happy boy now. Happy-Hank...227c5b.jpg

so cruel and they still do it

History repeating itself. How far we have come. :(

These are from a kinder, gentler time (ok, racism aside) when the country was more liberal, and in the heart of The New Deal. Now it's, "cut my taxes and screw everybody else" and where we kill horses by racing them for money, as in this report: https://sports.yahoo.com/santa-anita-racetrack-horse-racing-death-toll-safety-011416528.html

I will never understand the lack of empathy of a person who enjoys hunting and animal just for 'fun'. I understand that primitive societies needed it to survive,but doing it just as a hobbie shows to me that you are a cruel person with no empathy.

I liked this because the children look indigenous - not a white-washed poster. Very advanced for its time. Full disclosure, I don't completely agree with the message. My family EATS what we hunt, and we do not trophy hunt.

SQUIRREL

Exactly.

Excellent poster !!!

What is happening to my eyes? Someone chopping onions?

love for animals

They give us so much in return.

Oh my! This looks just like my pup, Barky McWoofwoof, except she's tri-colour. I adopted her ten years ago from the dog's home and she's amazing.

Damnit! (Sniff).

Aw, cute dog. I shall call you Scruffy.

This is such a sweet poster. I love the mutt!

Good care includes shelter, food, water, and most importantly, love.

So sweet

All animals means all animals. What about farmed animals? People only care for cats and dogs.

The Cat has a Dog Snout

The message is what’s important here! It doesn’t matter if that’s milk or water! besides, even in the 60s pregnant women used to drink and smoke, so... times and understanding keep improving

It doesn’t matter if that’s milk or water, the message it’s what’s important. Besides, still in the 1960s pregnant women used to drank and smoke! Times and understanding change.

SO TRUE!!!

Hurt no living thing, not just cats and dogs, GO VEGAN!

That milk looks weird.

The leash is there for a reason though, to prevent this from happening. A child that small shouldn't be responsible for a baby and a dog

Oh God now I'm thinking of my own precious baby (meaning my puppy not an actual baby).

Its nothing to do with big it small dog...it has to do with a moments distraction can be devastating

But why the f**k is the dog in the middle of the road?! xD
