Dear Supporter & Member,
If there were ever a time when animals needed your voice, it’s going to be on Sunday, October 30th 2011. Please make a specialeffort and join with many hundreds of animal lovers from every corner of Ireland to attend ARAN’s special ‘Have a Heart for Animals’ national march and rally, it's the one event of its kind that actually brings people who care about animals, together.
This year our march and rally promises to be even bigger and better than previous years-and of course with lots of positive changes. We plan on having an extended march route, which will take us down through Dublin’s vibrant O’Connell Street and on through the city centre only to be watched by many thousands of onlookers and one chant that will work the entire rally. We’ll also have yet another host of respected campaigners and speakers who will bring the many hundreds of attendees up to date on the current animal welfare bill and on our behind the scenes efforts to bring in the new Animal Health andWelfare bill. The present Bill will this year be 100 years old, it’s now time for more modern laws that will make life harder for those who get sick kicks from abusing animals, but also time for laws to stamp out fur farming and much more, we've got one last chance to get fur farming in Ireland banned in 2012 and if this opportunity slips, then it may not happen for a very long time to come. Ensure to bring your rescued dogs, children, co-workers, friends etc. – make sure everyone on Facebook knows about this big event to raise awareness of Ireland’s obsolete animal welfare law and the need to bring in proper modern legislation. Although ARAN will be providing banners and placards, feel free to make a sign, poster or banner for an issue that you might feel closest too or strongest about.
MARK YOUR DIARY NOW AND JOIN MANY HUNDREDS OF COMPASSIONATE ANIMAL LOVERS FOR WHAT’S GOING TO BE ONE OF THE BEST DAYS OF THE YEAR FOR SPEAKING OUT AGAINST ANIMAL ABUSE
When: Sunday, October 30th, 2pm sharp – (will be wrapped up by 5pm)
Where: Garden of Remembrance, O'Connell Street, Dublin.
In the coming weeks we’ll be mailing you further details of our plans for this exciting day, there will be so much for everyone to do to make this day a huge success. Please see below for some exciting pictures of previous events and for TV3 news coverage, click here.
See you in October, it's going to be by far our biggest and best event in our now fifteen years fighting animal abuse in Ireland, and of course we could never do it without the staunch, loyal and compassionate action from our many longtime supporters and members.
Keep up the good work you are all doing,
