World Animal Week
4th-10th October 2015
The intention of World Animal week (and World Animal Day, 4th October) is to draw attention to how every person can make the lives of animals better.
So lets celebtate by having a look at how you can make the lives of animals better with some current animal welfare issues.
1. Greyhound Racing.
I discussed the issue of greyhound racing earlier.Yes, its actually still a thing that people do. The cruelty is continuing and the industry is still heavily government subsidised. In fact even more cruelty has been exposed and the industry is in even more disgrace.
If you want to do something about this issue check out the bottom of my greyhound racing post for links to petitions, adoptions and more information.
2. Wool Industry
Our wool industry has been shown to be rife with outrageous animal cruelty performed upon sheep, by Australia shearers. For more information or to take action on this issue please follow the link to those who exposed this cruelty.
3. Lion Killer
Remember when that poor excuse for a man, Walter Palmer killed Cecil the lion? Did you know you can "adopt" a lion and help protect it from gun wielding tourists? Do something for Cecil.
4. And Beyond
There are many issues that negatively effect animals. Do some research and find something you can be passionate about, do some good for out animal kin. Here are some examples; Factory farms, live export, puppy farms, hunting in national forests, circus animals, animal testing, pet adoption, the list goes on and on, but every one of these items needs a champion. Even if you are the champion for that one cat that you adopt, your still doing good.
5. The easiest step.
By far the easiest thing you can do for animals is not eat them. Its simple and cruelty free. It will save you money and improve your health. At least go vegetarian for World Animal Day.
