Pledge To Take Part in ARAN's '1000 Rally Against The Cruelty'

From: arancampaigns@eircom.net

Date: July 17, 2006


Dear ARAN Friend,
ARAN is taking a huge step and is willing to organize a huge rally against
the cruelty on December 10th 2006, which is the official International Day
For Animal Rights. All over the world events will be taking place and we
want this year to be the biggest ever here in Ireland.
Right now the animals are counting on us all to speak up and free them from
the pain and needless suffering that is taking place in the greyhound
industry, bloodsports, circuses that use animals, animal experiments,
shooting, fishing, homeless and abandoned dogs, cats and other animals,
animals slaughtered for their skins, their flesh and even dogs that are
chained up all over the country who are forced to live outside in all
weather extremes be it in the thundering harsh winter or the excruciating
summer heat that we seem to be getting, all this without food, water or
shelter and there is so much more happening to animals. They desperately
need us all to help them and we must because we all know this cruelty is
needless and it's in our hearts to do so.
The Irish government to date has a clear disregard for animal protection and
unlike other governments in many other countries who have enforced
legislation that outlaws cruelty such as fur farms, hunting, shooting, dog
fighting and much more. In 2007 the Irish government has told us that they
plan on updating the animal welfare legislation so we need to send a huge
loud and clear message to government that the people of Ireland care and
want all this needless cruelty to end. We are counting on people & groups
across the nation to once and for all hold hands and join together in this
peaceful march that is aiming to shine alight on the needless cruelty and
urge legislators and the public to put an end to this terrible suffering.
Our plan is to gather at the Garden of Remembrance on Dublin's Parnell
Street and with a huge banner reading "It's Time To End Animal Cruelty Now"
and "Animal Cruelty Must Stop" make our way down O'Connell Street where
we'll come to a stop outside of Dail Eireann where these issues need to be
heard, if possible we will also have some speakers talk about campaigns
going on around the country. At all times this rally will be completely
peaceful and will warmly welcome people of all nature and creeds to come
along and speak out against the cruelty.
But, this rally will only go ahead if we can gather 1000 pledges from people
nationwide or indeed people who are willing to come from other countries to
support our efforts. So If you want to be part of history in the making
please fill in the details below and once we raise the 1000 - it's full
steam ahead! Be sure to send this pledge onto as many friends and family as
possible, remember the animals are counting on you.
Sign the pledge if you, family and friends can make it
