International Animal Rights Day

Unfortunately, the attitude towards animals is not always respectful and reverent Our little brothers die and suffer in incredible numbers every day from malice and cruelty in different countries of the world Animal rights activists are ringing all bells, trying to attract public attention to this problem After all, it largely depends on people whether there will be less evil, aggression, cruelty in the world, or whether it will flourish And, despite the fact that someone considers this problem to be insignificant, it is not only impossible to ignore it, but also dangerous After all, if you think about it, cruelty can only provoke even greater cruelty And what if violence against animals can develop into violence against humans? The struggle for animal rights has been going on for centuries, but it has not attracted much attention, since humanity has always solved problems that seem to be more significant for them Yet, in the second half of the 20th century, animal rights activists spoke loudly about the need to make people think about the difficult situation that is common to everyone, no matter what country they live in In 1998, a special holiday was established - International Animal Rights Day, which is celebrated annually on December 10 It just so happened that its adoption took place on the 50th anniversary of the “birth” of a very important document for the world – the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights” This was significant because it provided an opportunity to demonstrate that animals should be respected in the same way as people Note that back on September 23, 1977, the “World Declaration of Animal Rights” was presented The establishment of the holiday on December 10 was attended by representatives of both small and large organizations from different countries of the world - the USA, Great Britain, Israel, India, Russia, Canada, Switzerland, Belgium, Mexico, the Philippines, Italy, etc This event became important in the life of civilization It shows that a developed society should not exist in a gap with a humane attitude not only to humans, but also to animals Every year in different countries of the world, animal rights activists organize events on December 10th to help draw the attention of all people to the problem of cruelty towards animals Great Britain, India, Japan and other states are taking an active position in this issue All over the world, rallies are held, relevant leaflets are distributed, letters are sent calling for humane treatment of animals, and videos and films on this topic are shown The procession of people carrying candles in their hands, lit in memory of animals who died at the ruthless hand of man, looks especially emotional and tragic
