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
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!

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

Animals are unable to protect their selfs, unlike people. We have laws in place to protect certain animals like the Bald Eagle. Noone animal should be left behind. Protect one protect them all.

VIOLENCE TO ANIMALS IS THE SAME AS VIOLENCE TO OURSELVES. ANIMALS HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE FREE HAPPY HEALTHY AND SEE THEIR CHILDREN GROW UP TO BE FREE AND HAPPY AND HEALTHY. WE ARE THE CARETAKERS OF THIS EARTH AND ALL LIFE ON IT AND THE BABYSITTERS ARE EATING AND ABUSING THE ANIMALS. I SAW SOME RIDICULOUS LEGISLATION THAT SAYS BY 2013 IT WILL BE ILLEGAL TO KEEP BREEDING SOWS IN CRATES WHERE THEY CAN'T STRETCH OUT THEIR LEGS. THEY ARE LEFT IN THE DARK IN HORRIBLE CONDITIONS AND ALL THEIR BABIES ARE SLAUGHTERED. ANIMALS LOVE THEIR CHILDREN AS MUCH AS WE DO AND IT IS TIME TO HONOR AND RESPECT AND TREASURE THEM. NOW WITHOUT DELAY. GLOBAL WARMING IS MOST CONTRIBUTED TO BY THE EATING OF ANIMALS . GO VEG! GO GREEN! GO HUMANE! OUR OWN HEALTH AND HAPPINESS DEPENDS ON IT

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, Alison Tyler

Please think of any time you have encountered an animal. Do you think you could honestly watch them being tortured in front of your eyes. Regardless that is happening when your eyes are away. Someone in your family owns a pet and that animal was taken care of before it got there. Think of all of the families that will not get to see those smiling faces because someone destroyed them before they could get to a kind home. Please help us help the animals, to end animal suffering! |

It is not only homeless and abused pets that need protection, but also the farm animals abused, and used in agribusiness as pawns in providing meat and animal products by any means deemed possible.

Animals are people too. The penalty should be the same when they are abused and mutilated. Sick and disgusting.

there are millions of wonderful pets in rescue groups, i just adopted a 2nd one this summer. she needs a lot of attention and training, but we're getting there!! mine came as a discard from a back yard breeder, she was just a mama dog for dispensing the cute little puppies someone bought for $1200 each in a pet store. don't every buy one of those puppies, the mama's are kept in kennels and out in the hot sun and i'm sure the cold. my latest dog ran in circles for days after we got her home, that's all she knew, it was pitiful. now that we've loved her, held her, bathed her and carried her around, she's almost quit the running in circles, her life is now heavenly and she deserves it. i can't imagine how horrible her life was before we found her. y'all, if you are looking for a pet to love, please consider a pet from your local city pound or a rescue group. you'll feel really good about it!! mlancaster

My all-time best friend was my Doberman. It is my experience that animals are much more loyal than any person could ever be. How much sense does it make not to protect them?
