WASHINGTON, April 17 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Humane Society of the United States

(HSUS), the nation's largest animal protection organization with more than seven

million members and constituents, will participate in the Earth Day celebration

at Earth Fair

2000 on The Mall in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, April 22.

 

" Our global environment depends on animals in so many ways, " said Patricia

Forkan, HSUS executive vice president. " If we are to sustain an environmental

balance, it is essential that we support and protect wild animals in their

natural habitats as well as

domestic animals in our care. Earth Day is a reminder that every day we should

recognize and respect the importance of all animals to our Earth as an essential

link toward achieving that balance, " she said.

 

The HSUS global family will be represented with seven exhibit booths in the

Earth Tent on site: The HSUS (main booth), Animal Channel, Humane Society

International (HSI), Earth Charter USA, Wildlife Land Trust, Earth Voice and the

National Association for

Humane and Environmental Education (NAHEE).

 

At the HSUS booths, people can pick up a variety of

information about animal protection issues. Activities at the main HSUS booth

include a visit from Talon, the D.C. United soccer team mascot, as well as

turtle-suit clad volunteers as first seen at the WTO conference in Seattle.

Earth Day attendees can sign the Humane

Choices Pledge, a promise to make a difference for animals in several ways

ranging from not wearing fur to being a responsible pet owner.

 

Animal Channel, The HSUS's multi-media Internet site at

http://www.animalchannel.net, will team with Washington modern rock radio

station WHFS to stream audio and video broadcasts throughout the event. For more
