International Animal Rights Day
http://www.uncaged.co.uk/iard.…
International animal rights groups annual coalition of protests and candle-lit vigils calling for Universal Declaration of Animal Rights.
Based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), signed by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10th 1948, the UDAR seeks protection of similar rights for animals calling for an end to "exploitation or oppression in the name of science or sport, or for use as food, for commercial profit or for other human ends". International Animal Rights Day and the UDAR were launched on December 10th 1998, 50 years to the day after the UDHR was agreed. British celebrities who have signed the declaration include: Joanna Lumley, Hayley Mills, Spike Milligan, Benjamin Zephaniah, Michael Mansfield QC, Miriam Margoyles, Uri Geller, Carol Royle, Amanda Royle, David Shepherd OBE. Protests on December 10th are most likely to be focused on vivisection animal suppliers, laboratories and fur and intensive method farms.

I'm ALL-IN For Animal Rights Day

I used to work for Nashville Humane Association when I lived in Tennessee, so I've seen first hand the horrors of animal cruelty, abuse and neglect. As an avid animal lover and advocate, this event is right up my alley. I'll do what I can now to spread the word and ask other bloggers to write about this topic for the event.
A specific issue I'd like to touch upon is the atrocities being done the American Pit Bull Terrier. Breed Specific Legislation is WRONG and PETA are a bunch of morons! They are not for animals at all, in fact just the opposite. Anyone who follows or supports PETA is not fully aware of what they do and how they actually harm instead of help.
Let's stop the insanity and get people to realize that the Pit Bull Terrier is actually a fantastic dog - one of the most docile, loyal, friendly, protective, trustworthy breeds in existence. It is the idiotic dog owners (if you can even call them that) that have slowly destroyed the reputation of this breed and in essence will secure it's own genocide.
