Today is World Spay and Neuter Day. In America, the initiative was encouraged by actress and animal lover Doris Day and her Animal Foundation in 1995. Spaying and neutering your pet prevents an unsustainable influx of baby cats and dogs, many of which will end up on the streets or in shelters. For those without access to adequate resources, a litter can prove economically devastating, forcing them to surrender the newborns. Making sure your pet is spayed or neutered is essential to maintaining a healthy shelter system. In Los Angeles and many other parts of the country, shelters are catastrophically overpopulated. Make sure your animal is spayed or nuetered. Modern iterations of the procedure are safe and designed to minimize animal discomfort. As with any vet procedure, spay and neuter services can be expensive. If you currently lack the resources to fix your animal, check out this list of assistance programs below: ASPCA: https://lnkd.in/gcU2Xjce Los Angeles City Initiative: https://lnkd.in/gqP6sxn2 Animal Care Program: https://lnkd.in/gThexYqE L.A.

Data highlights of this week in animal sheltering. First, Best Friends Animal Society released their 2023 annual report, which contains some really interesting insights. It's a rich report and well-worth reading: https://lnkd.in/gptWs7aZ Second, Shelter Animals Count showed despite popular beliefs, July 5 is NOT the highest intake day of the year, it's the third. Any guesses as to the busiest intake day for US shelters?

Today, we are launching a nationwide campaign to #ProtectTheBan on live animal export in Aotearoa. Aotearoa's ban on live animal export, implemented last year, was a powerful step forward for both animal welfare and our nation's global reputation. Yet, this progress is under threat, as the current Government seeks to overturn the ban. We strongly believe this would be a devastating decision for both the animals and New Zealand's values. Join us in urging everyone who shares our commitment to animal welfare to get behind this movement. Together, we can make a difference and protect the ban for good. Take action: Sign and share our petition: https://lnkd.in/gDr4U-dQ #liveexport #banliveexport #endliveexport #endliveexports #animalwelfare #animalrights

World Animal Day is an International Day of Action for animal rights and welfare celebrated annually on October 4, the feast day of Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. World Animal Day unites the animal welfare movement, mobilizing it into a global force to make the world a better place for all animals. What can you do? Refuse single-use plastics, participate in cleanups, make space for animals, plant habitat in your yard and neighborhood, and give animals a brake as they cross the roads that cross their homes. E.g. Florida panthers are endangered and are protected under the Endangered Species. There are only 120–230 adult Florida panthers in the wild. They occupy only 5% of their historic range. Major threats to Florida panthers include habitat loss and collisions with vehicles. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #WorldAnimalDay #Habitat #Pollution

🐾🌍Weekend Musings: Animals, Compassion, and Good words. 🤲🏽A friend of mine used to raise funds for animal welfare. She told me that it is a daunting task to get funding for abused and distressed animals, as human stories tend to receive more attention and support. Animal welfare holds a special place in my heart. I have worked with NGOs that focus on helping animals, but many of them face financial struggles. 🌟 I have come across a positive example that I find inspiring: Anant Ambani's Vantara. It is a world-class animal rescue and rehabilitation center. I have watched videos of the center's work multiple times, and it gives me comfort to know that there are people like him who have the resources and are deeply passionate about this cause." 📽️Video link: https://lnkd.in/gHMNSm3J 🕊️Mahatma Gandhi said: "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. I hold that the more helpless a creature the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of humankind". 🌍In a world where we can be anything, let's be kind. 🗨️Quote of the week: "The secret, Alice, is to surround yourself with people who make your heart smile" 💖If you find these people, hold them closer to your heart. #compassion #kindness #compassionatecare #animalrescue #animalwelfare #weekendvibes #weekendmotivation #musings
