Get Active For Animals
In a perfect world, animals would be free to live their lives to the fullest: raising their young, enjoying their native environments, and following their natural instincts. However, domesticated animals cannot survive "free" in our concrete jungles, so we must take as good care of them as possible. People with the time, money, love and patience to make a lifetime commitment to an animal can make an enormous difference by adopting from shelters or rescuing animals from life on the street.
Help Save Wild AnimalsThe
actions of humans have created many threats to wild animals. As human
populations increase, these threats multiply, leading to a fewer number
of some species, and total extinction of others. All animals contribute
to the ecology of the earth and are vital to its health and
continuation. Many wildlife species are threatened with extinction, and
many critical wildlife habitats are being destroyed. Together, we all
play an important role in protecting wild animals and their homes.
Farm
animals have unique personalities. They're fascinating creatures with
the ability to love, form friendships, mourn, get angry and show a
variety of other emotions. They are deserving of our respect and our
compassion. The consolidation of farms in recent years has radically
altered the face of farming. Today more animals are being raised on less
land, with profound effects on the animals and the
environment. This shift in farming has been termed "industrial
agriculture" or "factory farming," as thousands, or even hundreds of
thousands of animals, are crowded into huge buildings with no access to
the outdoors.
Wilderness
or wildlands are natural places on our planet that have not been
significantly modified by humans. These last, truly wild places that
have not been developed with industry, roads, buildings and houses are
critical for the survival of many plant and animal species. They also
provide humans with educational and recreational opportunities, and are
deeply valued for aesthetic, cultural, moral and spiritual reasons. Some
wildlands are protected. Others are disappearing.
You can make a difference for animals by
adopting an animal, recycling, choosing humane products, donating to a
charity of your choice, distributing flyers and fact sheets, encouraging
humane legislation, planting wildlife gardens, trapping and neutering
feral cats, volunteering, and educating others about earth and animal
issues. Join earth and animal advocates around the globe in the effort to make the world a better place for wild animals, companion animals, farm animals and humans.
