Making a difference on this we first must believe we can. Getting dogs and cats off the food chain and out of the fur industry; Improving shelters and the lives of stray dogs and cats; putting an end to puppymills, dogfighting, dog~cat~animal labs and all other abuse of these loving companions who have mastered the greatest of spiritual emotions known as pure love. The internet is a powerful tool. People who profit from this are going continue on their course unless their governments and/or public pressure closes them down. Boycotts of products or events when spread through animal rights, and dog and cat and all animal lover groups around the planet, can put pressure on governments. Petitions can't hurt either. With an enlightened awareness and compassion for ALL Animals, many have adopted a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle, making sure that all their food, clothing, product choices are cruelty~free. Also, for many, the reality of the evil horrific cruelty, and diseases spread out of the horrid slaughterhouses and meat markets etc. has also served as a wake-up call. The exploitation of these wise and loving beings of friendship belongs to the worst category of traitorship and dishonor.
