Guest guest Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 International Animal Fighting Campaign - Update With events already in place around the world, HSI is gearing up for the launch of the International Animal Fighting Campaign. As many of you may already know, many countries celebrate World Animal Day, October 4th. This year, the Bahamas, Barbados, Egypt, Peru, Philippines, Romania, South Africa, and the United States, among others, will team up against animal fighting. Animal fighting awareness events, such as seminars, dog walks, rallies, and lobbying activity will be held simultaneously around the globe to connect the animal protection groups with one voice; a stronger voice. Thousands of animals are tortured, maimed, and killed each year for human entertainment. The suffering is immense and is reason alone to consider these acts cruel beyond measure. People also suffer as they become addicted to gambling and drug activity, allow their children to witness life scarring events, and carry a higher chance of becoming violent with humans. The issue negatively impacts all citizens, regardless of their respect for animals. HSI, while planning the American event, will continue to develop electronic resources, like the new logo, and updates that will be available on our website: www.hsihsus.org. Participating organizations are welcome to use the logo and adapt it as necessary to their local event. In addition, we will have animal fighting information in the form of fact sheets available soon online. Your help is needed to fight this brutality! We hope you will join this global activity and host an animal fighting awareness event during the week of World Animal Day. Register your event with hsi today. Questions are welcome.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Thank you so much for the info. OAARS will definitely start planning for it and hopefully make more people aware of this brutal sport. Thanks to members on this forum we have received information to present to Govt. officials in Okinawa about the cruelty of using gas as a method of euthanizing these animals. I learned so much from Everyone at the Asia for Animals Conference, am already planning for a future conference.
