National Animal Advocacy Day 2023: Date, History, Facts about Animal

Every year on April 30, National Animal Advocacy Day is observed to honour, respect, and commemorate every animal advocate who works tirelessly to save animals from abuse, exploitation, and cruelty. Did you know that millions of animals are abused to death annually in the United States? Yes, according to statistics, over 10 million animals perish of abuse annually in the United States. In fact, more alarming statistics indicate that one animal is mistreated every minute around the globe. This is why the efforts of animal advocates around the world to promote animal protection and rescue are so crucial.

The background of National Animal Advocacy Day

American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (A.S.P.C.A.) established National Animal Advocacy Day. This organisation was the first humane society to be founded in North America and is one of the largest in the globe. This organization’s raison d’être is based on the belief that animals are entitled to kind and respectful treatment from humans and must be legally protected. On National Animal Advocacy Day, the A.S.P.C.A. will conduct a live webinar that explains how a bill becomes a law and provides information about its volunteer advocacy programmes. This fascinating webinar can be registered for on the A.S.P.C.A. website.

As we all know, knowledge is power, and creatures across the nation may require our assistance in times of crisis such as these. This day is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for to make a difference for animals in your state and across the nation. You can also participate in one of the A.S.P.C.A.’s volunteer advocacy programmes to assist the organisation in passing animal-friendly legislation and mobilising other animal advocates in the community.

Animal rights activists address issues such as animal cruelty, including inhumane practises and conditions affecting companion and farm animals, illegal animal trafficking, animal slaughter, and the use of animals in research and product testing. Therefore, let us take a pause on this National Animal Advocacy Day to recognise the millions of community members who provide care for animals. Let’s work together to establish an even more effective animal advocacy community.
