We must help prevent cruelty to animals - today!
Hello, I’m Ellie, and thank you for taking an interest in my blog! Please take a moment of your time to read about what the RSPCA do and how they help, and also answering the short questions at the end. As you may or may not know, the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) helps give animals a voice, and helps keep strays off the streets, runs worldwide campaigns, and re-homes lots of pets every year. Without the RSPCA, where would our relationship with animals be today?
The RSPCA are not just local, they have had connections with multiple animal welfare organisations abroad for over 150 years. They help in Europe and also East Asia by giving anything from animal welfare classes, to stray dog management, they even go to emergency situations such as oil spills in other countries. I know you’re thinking okay so yeah, this is another country we’re talking about, why does that concern me? Well, if you help by fundraising, donating or even volunteering, you could help animals all over the globe.
As the leading animal welfare charity, they are constantly getting calls, and saving animals everywhere. They rescue animals from:
• Cruelty and abuse
• Accidents and injury at home or in the wild
• Abandonment and neglect
• Disasters.
The RSPCA in 2009 alone, successfully rescued 135,295 animals. In disaster circumstances they rescued: a flock of stranded sheep in a field, six cattle and 20 sheep in flood areas, eight cats and a collapsed dog from flooded houses, and a horse trapped in a flooded paddock. They also raised one million dollars when the Haiti earthquake struck to help the animals.
Now, you can help! Whether it’s doing a sponsored walk, a car boot sale, or even selling cakes, you can raise money to help the RSPCA in their battle to make the world a better place for animals.
Please take a minute to answer these simple questions:
1. Did you already know who and what the RSPCA do before reading my blog?
2. Do you feel more informed about the organisation?
3. Has your opinion on the organisation changed? If so how ?
4. Would you be prepared to donate or fundraise for the RSPCA?
5. Would you now inform you family and friends about the RSPCA and what they do to help?
Thank you for reading.
Ellie
