End Animal Suffering Worldwide - Sign the Petition for a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare!

Target: Your Government Leader
Sponsored by: World Society for the Protection of Animals

Every day millions of animals are born into lives of unspeakable suffering. Every day millions more suffer terrible deaths. All animals should be able to live their lives free from misery. But they struggle in a world that is often indifferent.

The road toward better animal welfare is through cooperation, information and a strong international commitment. Urge the United Nations to adopt a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare! The declaration would have a real, long-term impact on the welfare of billions of animals worldwide.

Note: your signature will be one more toward the goal of 10 million signatures on the "Animals Matter to Me" petition, making it the most ambitious global initiative on animal welfare that has ever been attempted!

Dear [Government Decision Maker],

I am writing to urge you to support the adoption of a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare by the United Nations.

Billions of animals around the world are affected by humans, and rely on people to treat them with compassion. But sadly, in many countries there is little national and no international protection for animals.

An international agreement on welfare standards should become a key goal for the animal welfare movement in the 21st century. The first step toward achieving this end would be to secure a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare at the United Nations.

A Universal Declaration by the UN would:

- Recognize animals as sentient beings, capable of suffering and experiencing pain
- Recognize that animal welfare is an issue of importance as a part of the social development of nations
- Act as a catalyst for better animal welfare provisions worldwide

By supporting a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare at the United Nations, you can help put a stop to the cruelty that billions of animals suffer every single day.

Sincerely,

We signed the “End Animal Suffering Worldwide - Sign the Petition for a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare!” petition!

Animals mean SO MUCH TO ME! For instance I've always fed and tried to do even more than that for cats and/or dogs left astray. People need to realize when they get a pet the responsiblity they're getting into! And, Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare MUST TAKE BETTER CARE OF THESE ANIMALS!! It's just straight up cruelty!!! I have 2 cats and one I took in. Please take more action for this cause.

I urge you to support the adoption of a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare by the United Nations. When humans stop the abuse of our animals, then I think we will see a reduction in the abuse of our women and children and in crime against humanity in general.

We are responsible for animals just as we are our children. It is common knowledge among social workers that people who abuse animals are likely to abuse their children as well as their spouses.....please recognize animals as a detrimental part of humans lives and without them there would be a lot of joy missing from this world. They can be the missing link to a foster child or an elderly person in a home with no family! They should be treated as a family member and not as a slave or burden! Please please realize how sad the world would be without these precious gifts of life that were put here for us to love and enjoy not to abuse and destroy!
