On December 10th 1948, the United Nations General Assembly ratified the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Declaration enshrined the principle that human beings could no longer be treated in law or public policy as mere tools of the powerful or subjects of the state, but that they possess inherent value, and must be permitted to live their lives according to the priorities they themselves identify, in so far as they do not infringe the rights of others. The ratification of the UDHR symbolized the triumph of humanitarianism in the aftermath of the most destructive war in human history, at the midpoint of what had already become the most destructive century in human history.

Objective: International animal rights groups annual coalition of protests and candle-lit vigils calling for Universal Declaration of Animal Rights.

August 20, 2011 International Homeless Animals’ Day

Jobi — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 11:52:47 +0000

In 2011, for the 20th consecutive year, ISAR has assisted animal rights/welfare organizations, as well as concerned individuals, in 38 states and 18 foreign countries by making their International Homeless Animals’ Day events a success. Please click on the video slideshow below to view photos from some of last year’s events.

Twenty years ago, ISAR launched International Homeless Animals’ Day as a means of educating and informing people all over the world of the tragedy that overwhelms animal shelters each year – pet overpopulation. The movement has grown significantly since 1992, and International Homeless Animals’ Day is reserved by ISAR on the third Saturday of August every year. ISAR’s purpose and the purpose of all who participate is to promote new campaigns, programs, and ideas on the solution to the pet overpopulation epidemic: spay/neuter.

It is no secret that pets and people make magical connections that improve life for both. But what would happen to your pets if you were unable to care for them due to injury or poor health?
I recently received an email from a wonderful organization in New York. As a non-profit, all volunteer organization, they are committed to keeping people and their pets together.
Please watch their video and pass it on.
