Why We Should Sign Animal Rights / Vegan Petitions

  As obvious as it sounds, animals can’t express themselves in the way that humans can. Humans have a multitude of ways to broadcast their feelings or opinions, while animals are at the other end of the spectrum in comparison. That said, millions of them every day scream out in blistering, agonizing pain when their lives are callously snuffed out in the satanic slaughterhouses that are littered around the planet. We need to be advocates, very one of us, to challenge and change this brutal reality. And this is where lending our weight to animal rights / vegan petitions becomes a crucial act of obligation. 

One of the keys to overcoming oppression and injustice has always been speaking up and speaking out. Bullies, tyrants, animal abusers and exploiters rely on the apathy of the majority of people to not get involved with them, but rather to shrug their shoulders and stay silent. As the saying goes: “The road to Auschwitz…was paved with indifference.”

That is why it is absolutely crucial that when presented with the opportunity to do so, those that care for the animals, their dignity, their rights and their equality, use every opportunity they can to be heard. 

See a petition you agree with but meh – don’t have the time? Make the time and with just the click of a mouse, you get to stay in the house (if you like) and make a difference. 

You get to potentially save lives and inspire others – that’s a great win-win. So go get signing!

Oxford Languages defines “slacktivism” as “​​the practice of supporting a political or social cause by means such as social media or online petitions, characterized as involving very little effort or commitment.” And we’ve got great news: Studies have shown that slacktivism actually works! 

Tackling the vast issues involved in factory farming can seem daunting, but you don’t need to be a seasoned activist—or have a ton of free time—to make a difference. Here are seven petitions to help animals that will take only a few minutes to sign but could have a major impact on the lives of animals and the future of our planet.

 Bans on glue traps, most recently in Ojai, California, help animals—including mice, birds, chipmunks, lizards, snakes, and squirrels—who may endure slow, agonizing deaths after being caught in these inhumane devices. A glue trap is a small board made of cardboard, fiberboard, or plastic that’s coated with a sticky adhesive. It can ensnare any small animal who wanders across or lands on its surface. Animals trapped in the glue panic and struggle, which causes them to become even more helplessly stuck. Often, the glue tears off their fur, feathers, or skin. Some break bones or even chew off their own limbs in a desperate attempt to escape.

STAND WITH US AGAINST ANIMAL CRUELTY:

 Animal cruelty is defined differently in every state’s laws, but generally includes both abuse (like torture and mutilation) and neglect (being deprived of the most basic needs like food and water). Unfortunately in each state, the law treats animals as property instead of living, sentient beings. That’s why the Animal Legal Defense Fund stands for animals as their voice in the courtroom.

 Following a years-long PETA campaign against the Miami Seaquarium, including lawsuits, celebrity ads, letters to county officials, and lively rallies at the Miami-Dade County Mayor’s Office and elsewhere—along with a decade of weekly protests by local activists—the county has finally announced that it’s moving to revoke the facility’s lease, marking the beginning of the end for this animal prison. 

Please help bring about a swift closure by contacting the Miami-Dade County mayor and county commissioners.

  Animals should never be viewed as property to be bought or sold. One of our main goals is to raise awareness and increase legislation surrounding the sale of animals for profit, and to promote animal adoption over purchase. So many helpless animals are available for adoption throughout the world, and every time an animal is purchased from a breeder, another loving animal sitting in a shelter cage remains without a loving home. With only a minor fee payable to the adoption agency, you could be the difference in giving that animal the opportunity they are longing for.

Animals can’t advocate for themselves, so we strive to be the voice they desperately need in cases of abuse or unethical practices.

Home Depot, the biggest home improvement retailer based in North America has continued to sell glue traps on their website and in many of their 2000+ stores despite many other companies dropping these "products."

To be as strategic and impactful as we can be with our time and efforts, we dediced to focus on their new company, SRS Distribution. 

It has come to our attention, with quotes from company leaders that this new company is what Home Depot believes will give them a "competitive advantage" and bring in significant money.

SO, let's show Home Depot (through applying pressure to their new company), that as long as they continue to sell glue traps, they won't have the competitive advantage!

WHY: Home Depot no longer selling glue traps will have ripple effects across North America in the glue trap sphere- making it easier to pass legislation and pressure other companies to follow suit!

WHAT:

We will be mass emailing SRS Distribution's CEO & important figures.

WHEN: we recommend taking action at any point Sunday (Oct 20), but if you’re unable to within this timeframe, any time after is still great!
