Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:
 * Copying text from other sources

 * Policy and guideline on non-free content

If you still have questions, there is the Teahouse, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.

 * Hello Diannaa, and thanks for flagging this for me. In my edits to this article I did copy-paste a two sentence quotation from a news article about the Executive Director of the State Humane Association of California where he stated his rationale for filing the complaint with the CA Attorney General. I was under the impression that this was allowable under the guidelines from Copying text from other sources. I am happy to remove the quote if you believe it to be a violation of Wikipedia's rules.
