PLEASE

READ TO THE END TO SIGN OUR PETITION

 

 

 

 

 

WELL, 2010 IS DEFINITELY A PROMISING

TIME FOR THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA.

F.F.A.R. (Fighting for Animal Rights)

IS DETERMINED TO ALSO MAKE THIS A PROMISING

TIME FOR OUR ANIMALS TOO.

 

We are aware that a huge amount of petitions

have been sent out regarding animal rights BUT this

petition is one with a difference and will be submitted to PARLIAMENT once

we receive your signature, showing your support for something that really is

quite bizarre…. .

Did you know that animals in South

Africa are not recognized as

sentient beings. This means they are classified as objects, and therefore have

no rights.

 

In recent times, Southern Africa has seen a huge upsurge

in people involved in the animal rights movement, all calling for animals to be

recognized as sentient beings. At the moment, most constitutions recognise

animals as inanimate objects, incapable of

feeling pain, terror or

having any kind of consciousness.

 

 

Difficult to believe

we know but sadly this is the case. We have been wondering what it means then

when an animal lets out a cry of pain or is clearly shaken from abuse!

 

WE really don’t want

to include pictures of abuse that animals have experienced but just the other

day we all heard about:

Lucy who was tied to

a railway line, but was luckily saved minutes before the train rode over her

again.

Then there was Jack,

who was buried alive but luckily was also saved.

How about the little

guy who was beaten to death by a spade over this past weekend. The list

can go on and on.

 

The

abusers may get caught and then what: A slap on the wrist and a

small fine…

 

This is what our plea to the Government is:

 

To ensure that

animals are regarded as sentient beings: Capable of perceiving and

feeling things.

To punish animal

abusers more severely which will make them think twice before carrying out the

heinous acts that they do.

 

For animals, as sentient beings, to be afforded the

right to life, dignity and welfare.

 

 

 

The

Constitution of the Republic of South Africa states the following:

South Africa's Constitution is one of the most progressive in

the world and is based on the values of dignity, equality and freedom.

 

Why then,

can’t this be applied to animals too who live, breath, feel love and pain as we

do ?!?

 

 

 

Samantha Liddell and Sandra Hill, (co-founders of

F.F.A.R.) ask that you please add your name to this petition to assist us in

this cause. Those of you who know us personally will know where our

passion lies and will also know that once we have your support, we will take

this all the way. Thank You in advance and lets stand together

and keep positive in helping those who need us to speak on their behalf

!!

2010 sounds like a strong number full of

change and I am going to use most of my energies to help our furry

friends. Just tired of feeling helpless after receiving abuse reports

on a daily basis. We need to do something and NOW.
