The HSUS is pleased to offer First Strike® campaign materials in a downloadable format. With these materials, our goal is to offer information and solutions toward preventing animal cruelty and human violence.
The materials have been created for various violence responders, including law enforcement, social service workers, and animal care and control officers, as well as educators, veterinary professionals, victims of violence, teens, children, and concerned citizens.
Feel free to download and photocopy as many materials as you need. We simply require that you copy them in their entirety and provide credit to The HSUS. We also encourage you to share these resources with fellow professionals and citizens in your community.
