It's Time for Animal Rights

Never before have we issued such an urgent call for nationwide unity to stop cruelty to animals in this country. This year we’ve got a genuine and real opportunity to get long lasting and historic protection for animals and to compel industry and society to respect and treat animals fairly. For many people reading today the issue breaks your heart, but on December 6th we have one last opportunity to send a huge message to decision makers at government level that the new and revised animal welfare bill due to be released in 2010 must contain such strong measures to protect animals and penalize those that seek to profit and get kicks out of animal abuse.

All to often the cruelty can be unbearable but for as long we just sit back and do nothing but pick up the pieces of society’s treatment of animals or just wish it would stop, then we’ll never stop this injustice of animal abuse. It’s got to stop, but we can’t overly state how important individual action truly is. There is so much at stake, cruel greyhound racing, fur farming, animals in laboratories, bloodsports, live exports, dog & cat mistreatment and pound killings, puppy farms, dog fighting and more – our rally on December 6th will highlight all these issues and more, even Canada’s cruel baby seal hunt.

The march and rally will see people from across the nation wake up bright and early on the Sunday morning to travel to Dublin from cities across Ireland such as but not limited to Limerick, Clare, Cork, Kerry, Tipperary, Galway, Mayo, Roscommon, Donegal, Waterford, Wexford, Louth, Meath, Offaly, Kildare and of course all over Northern Ireland to join our rally that will also include several campaigners speak. For many of the people attending it will be their first time attending an event to help animals so it’s important that whatever you are doing that weekend that you pencil in December 6th to be with us in Dublin for the rally, it’s a once off event to raise vital awareness so we’re desperately asking that you be with us, take a day off work, a couple of hours – do whatever is necessary and please whatever you do...don’t leave it to someone else, we need you.

Details of the event are as follows:-

Date: Sunday, December 6th 2009
Time: 1.30pm Sharp
Place: Garden of Remembrance, O’Connell Street, Dublin (Top of O’Connell Street on left hand side)

In the meantime please do your part to give a hand out. We have leaflets and posters that we can send you to distribute to people and create awareness of the rally plus it will help spotlight cruelty to animals and help educate. Also you got a perfect opportunity to invite your friends, family and co-workers along too – please remember most people will support events against cruelty to animals especially by attending this exciting rally.
