You can pay tribute to the organization all month long because April is &quot;Prevention of Cruelty to Animals&quot; month too. The ASPCA is urging animal lovers everywhere to wear something orange today because orange is the organization's official color.  &quot;While we fight animal cruelty day in and day out, April, and specifically 'ASPCA Day' on April 10, is a great time for us to take stock of our progress, and celebrate our bond with animals as a nation,&quot; said ASPCA President &amp; CEO Ed Sayres according to <a href="http://www.1010wins.com/Go-Orange-for-Animals-and-Celebrate--ASPCA-Day-/1975149" title="http://www.1010wins.com/Go-Orange-for-Animals-and-Celebrate--ASPCA-Day-/1975149">1010WINS.com</a> in NY.
