December 10th (already?!) and it's International Animal Rights Day.
A day of raising awareness globally about the importance of animal rights, advocating for the fair, ethical, and compassionate treatment of animals and recognising that they deserve our kindness, protection, and respect π
You all know I'm a HUGE lover of animals, and honestly, I'd rescue each and every one in need if I could, but sadly, that's not possible, so today, I'm donating 20% of my takings to PETA, a charity dedicated to the ethical treatment of animals, the organisation works through educating the public, campaigning, researching, rescuing, and hosting protests and special events.
Other ways we can observe this day and make small differences are;
Taking a stand - sign petitions related to animal welfare, lend the voiceless the power of yours!
Check your products - purchase only cruelty free products that haven't been tested on animals.
Volunteer - head to a local shelter, ask if they need volunteers for grooming, cleaning, or walking the rescues.
Go vegan or veggie - maybe it's a step too far for you on a permanent basis, but maybe try incorporating one vegan meal per week into your menu.
Donate - find a charity whose work you admire and donate to them.
Educate yourself - read or watch documentaries about conservation or animal welfare and rights, and spread your knowledge to anyone who will listen.
Adopt - if you are ready for a fur baby and can commit to give it a kind, safe, forever home, consider adopting, there are so many babies out there waiting for a home like yours!
Let's speak out for our gentle, loving, animal brothers and sisters, the more voices that shout out, the more chance we will be heard!
