Vote for Your Favorite Pawlitician

With the race for the White House heating up, a bit of levity is refreshing. And, that's exactly what the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) brings to the election with CATvsDOG.org, a fun, online campaign to raise awareness about animal welfare issues.

The goal of the nationwide online campaign is to incite one million Americans to sign a pledge to prevent cruelty and abuse by signing the pledge and casting their vote for Mittens-the-Cat or Rowdy-the-Dog.

The campaign highlights eight important animal welfare issues such as puppy mills, dangerous breed bans and pets and family violence as seen through the eyes of the candidates, Mittens and Rowdy. The candidates take humorous, opposing positions on each of the issues through debates that bring light to a very serious topic.

In addition to signing the pledge and casting your vote for Mittens or Rowdy, you can take the Presidential Pet Quiz, a fun trivia game about past Presidents and their pets.

The ASPCA's goal is to deliver one million signatures from the online campaign to the newly elected president shortly after the presidential election is concluded.

To watch the debate and cast your vote for Mittens or Rowdy, go to catvsdog.org. For more information about the ASPCA, visit aspca.org.
