I appeal to you as a matter of extreme urgency to
introduce a Bill of Rights or animal charter into Parliament for all
animals in South Africa. Please phase out fctory farming of all animals and
poultry - create awareness of compassion and dignity
to all farm
animals.
Stop long distant travel of slaughter animanis. Improve conditions
in slaughter houses, marke people aware of a vegetarian diet as
an alternative
humane lifestyle.
Abolish the use of animals in vivisection. Introduce
low cost spaying clinics for all female domestic animals. Sterilisation should
be compulsory. Only registered breeders allowed to breed.
Stop all
animal acts in entertainment. All pet shops must be checked by
animal
welfare groups.
(end page 1)
Investigate rural killings of animals for food and in religious
ceremonies, their suffering is horrendous, no civilised country should
allow
such cruelty.
Plucking of live ostriches to be prohibited, Ban all traps
and pellet guns.
Every animal, bird and fish are all God's creatures they are
a brotherhood living in co-operation with the human kind.
Look at the welfare
of all animals in squatter camps, townships, compassiona nd humane treatment of
every animal, they too have RIGHTS.
Introduce mobile implementation centres
that can teach the community and are for all life.
Teach all children at
any level of education how to care and respect all animals ‑teach a humane
education.
Involved children in appreciating flowers, animals, trees,
birds, fish - open their eyes to their beauty. Enclosed are two information
sources that you may find inspiring and even interesting.
Yours
faithfully
