WORLD ANIMAL WELFARE DAY OCT 4




ANIMALS OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZE PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE MAINTENANCE OF BALANCE IN THE ECOSYSTEM.  THEY ARE ALSO AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE MAINTENACE OF SOIL QUALITY AND CLIMATE REGULATION IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

WORLD ANIMAL WELFARE DAY 2020 THEME IS  ' SUSTAINING ALL LIFE ON EARTH" ENCOMPASSING ALL WILD ANIMAL AND PLANT SPECIES AS KEY COMPONENTS OF THE WORLD'S  BIODIVERSITY. 


ANIMAL WELFARE IS A COMPLEX ISSUE WHICH INVOLVES STUDY AND UNDERSTANDING ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR AS WELL AS THE CHALLENGE OF ACCESSING THE EMOTIONS OF ANIMALS.  THEY SHOULD HAVE FREEDOM AS AGAINST HUNGER, DISCOMFORT, PAIN, INJURY, DISEASE, FEAR, DISTRESS AND EXPRESS.. FRESH WATER AND PROPER DIET IS ALSO A REQUIREMENT FOR ANY ANIMAL.  SHELTER AND A COMFORTABLE RESTING AREA IS NECESSARY.  PROPER DIAGNOSIIS AND TREATMENT SHOULD BE GIVEN TO ANY ANIMAL FOUND IN INJURY , PAIN OR DISEASE.  THEY HAVE THE FREEDOM TO LIVE ON THIS EARTH, SHARE SUFFICIENT SPACE, MINGLE IN THE COMPANY OF THEIR OWN KIND AND HAVE THE PROPER FACILITIES.  THEY NEED NOT FEAR HUMAN BEINGS  


ANIMALS ARE SENTIENT BEINGS.  ALL THEY WANT IS LOVE.  THEY DON'T JUDGE, THEY DON'T CRITICIZE.  IF WE LOVE THEM THEY PAY BACK THE LOVE TILL THE END.  

ANIMAL WELFARE REFERS TO THE RELATIONSHIPS PEOPLE HAVE WITH ANIMALS AND IT  ASSURES THAT THE ANIMALS UNDER THEIR CARE ARE TREATED HUMANELY AND RESPONSIBLY.  ANIMALS NEED TO BE RESPECTED.  THEY HAVE THEIR OWN FREEDOM TO LIVE THIER OWN LIFE, TO MOVE ON, TO SAFEGUARD THEIR FAMILIES AND TO GO IN SEARCH OF FOOD OR WATER.  THEY CANNOT SPEAK LIKE HUMAN BEINGS BUT THEIR ACTIONS AND THEIR EYES TELL US MANY THINGS.  WE NEED TO HAVE THE PATIENCE TO KNOW IT.  EVEN IN THIS AGE, SOME ANIMALS ARE USED IN MANY AREAS OF THE WORLD AS TRANSPORTATION.  SOME STILL ENTERATAIN US GIVING A RIDE.


MANY A TIMES WE  TAKE ANIMALS FOR GRANTED . ANIMALS ARE USED AS SPORT, FOR PLEASURE, FOR ADVENTURE, FOR HIDES AND FURS .  THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO SUFFER THROUGH HUMAN CRUELTY.  MANY WILD ANIMALS ACROSS THE WORLD ARE TAKEN AWAY FROM NATURAL HABITATS , FORCED INTO CAPTIVITY AND SUBJECTED TO ABUSE, BOTH MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY IN THE NAME OF ENTERTAINMENT AND PROFIT.  SADLY, MANY TOURISTS WHO LOVE ANIMALS MAY ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTE TO ANIMAL SUFFERING BECAUSE THEY ARE UNAWARE OF THIS HIDDEN CRUELTY. AS CUSTODIANS OF THE PLANET IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DEAL WITH ALL SPECIES WITH KINDNESS, LOVE AND COMPASSION.

ANIMAL WELFARE DAY IS OBSERVED ON OCTOBER 4 TO MAKE THE WORLD AWARE THAT  ANIMALS REQUIRE WHOLESOME FOOD, FRESH WATER, VETERINARY CARE, PROPER HANDLING, SOCIALIZATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENHANCEMENTS.  OTHER HEALTH AND WELFARE INDICATORS INCLUDE ENERGY LEVEL, APPPETITE, HAIRCOAT, BRIGHTNESS OF EYE AND OTHER SIGNS WHICH ARE EVALUATED.  LIVING WITH ANIMALS AND UNDERSTANDING THEM WILL TEACH US TO TREAT THEM HUMANELY.


WE CANNOT LOOK AFTER ALL THE ANIMALS BUT EACH ONE OF US CAN HAVE A PET AT HOME AND LOOK AFTER THEM WITH LOVE AND CARE.  MAKE THEM FEEL THEY ARE A PART OF OUR FAMILY.  LOVE THEM .  

DON'T TREAT ANIMALS AS ANIMALS. TREAT THEM AS LIVING BEINGS  THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE.
