Martha Stewart will be awarded the ASPCA Presidential Service Award on April 23 at a black-tie gala in the Plaza Hotel in New York City. She’s being honored for her dedication to promoting compassion toward animals and her celebration of the human-animal bond.
In a recent news release from ASPCA, Martha Stewart said, “My life has been greatly enriched by the many pets I have cared for over the years. I am deeply committed to the values the ASPCA embraces, and am honored to be receiving this award.”
Did you realize Martha Stewart has such a soft spot for animals? She launched Martha Stewart Pets earlier this year, and her French bulldogs are a big part of that!

How is it that the ASPCA can support a ridiculous Anti-American law in Illinois which forbids any convicted felon from owning any unsprayed or unneutered dog over 12 weeks. …yet they honor Martha–who as everyone knows–is a convited felon??

I wish Martha would bring this to their attention. It’s bad enough they take away felons voting rights…but the right to own a unaltered dog?
I don’t get the ASPCA…
