Be Kind to Animals Week is the first week in May. It was started in 1915 by the American Humane Association and serves as a reminder of the debt humankind owes to animals, both wild and companion.
Every year, the Wisconsin Humane Society sponsors a poster contest in which local children illustrate ways to be kind to animals. Below are some of the winning posters and photos for this year.
