World Animal Day Was October 4 | Here Are Six Ways to Keep Supporting Animals

#Animals, #Extinction

Wishing to increase awareness of endangered species, concerned ecologists declared World Animal Day in 1931.  A catastrophic world-wide extinction has taken place since then.

Please help stop the immoral and irresponsible destruction of nature.  Here are a few links to things you can do for animals this Sunday.

1. Sign some petitions.
2. Retweet a few animal tweets
3. Tell someone that 52% Earth’s wildlife has died since 1970.  (We learned this near the end of 2014 when we saw the report from a survey of more than 10,000 populations of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish.)
4. Promote elimination of pesticides and restoration of damaged natural habitats.  If you have a yard, you can act directly:
   1. Stop using herbicides and insecticides.
   2. Plant animal-friendly native plants (fall is the best time for shrubs and trees)
5. Switch to clean nonpolluting energy.
6. Advocate for reducing the human population.
