World animal day: On this day we treat our animals with something special.
But sadly enough, it's not our pets that need such extra treats, but all the animals in cages, used for testing, circus and other inhumane procedures.
Let's all think about:
-the many greyhounds in Spain, that are abused when they loose their ability to win races,
-the grizzlybears in Asia that are used to tap of gallfluids. They are kept in tiny cages, not even big enough to turn,
-the many baby seals, beaten to dead to preserve their white fur.
-whales, the hunt on these mammals is open again
-seahorses, captured to be dried out and used as a natural version of the Viagra pill
-cats in China, skinned alive, because the meat would taste better after the load of adrenaline that went through the cat's body
-circus animals that live in small cages and have to learn stupid tricks to entertain us, every single day
-there are still too many animals on this world, that need a loving home, or their freedom.
We have a women's day, a mother and father's day, even grandparents day. I'm glad that there is an animals day too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kitty.gif" alt="" />
