MONTHLY NEWSLETTER
October is National Animal Safety and Prevention Month;
a month dedicated to promoting the safe practices of handling and caring for both domestic and wild animals.
Animals play an important part in our everyday lives, even if we don't personally have pets. So it's vital to make sure that they are treated kindly and with the respect and care they deserve.
National Animal Safety and Prevention Month was created by the PALS Foundation. PALS is dedicated to helping people and animals coexist in a way that benefits all of nature. They believe that humans must come to know the value of all animals, both domestic and wild, and the important role that they play in our ecosystem.
There are several ways you can participate in National Animal Safety and Prevention Month. Some of them are as simple as being aware of the needs of your own household pets.
For example, make sure they are micro-chipped so if they are ever lost, they can be easily found and returned; collars with identification tags are also just as important.
Pet proof your home against the possibility of your animals coming in contact with any dangerous poisons or toxins.
Put together a disaster escape plan in case you ever need to evacuate your pets quickly from the home.
There are plenty of things you can do to take that extra step in making sure your pets are protected in all circumstances.
If you don't have pets of your own, you can still participate in Animal Safety and Prevention Month by volunteering at your local animal shelter.
Foster a pet until it finds its new furrever home. There are plenty of animals that have not yet been adopted that would be very appreciative of your time and love.
For those animal lovers who don’t have a lot of free time, donating money or much needed supplies to your local animal shelters is always appreciated. This will help to ensure that pets waiting to be re-homed will get all the necessary care.
Plan a trip to the zoo.
This is fun for people with or without children.
Take the time to educate children about animal care while they're still young. Education helps them gain a healthy appreciation of animals when become adults.
Help promote National Animal Safety and Prevention Month simply by spreading the word.
Get involved by contacting your local newspapers, magazines, radio stations, and television stations to see what they're doing to help promote National Animal Safety and Prevention Month.
If they currently have no plans to celebrate it, suggest spreading this wonderful message. Just one small effort could bring awareness to much larger groups of people who are readers, listeners, and viewers of these outlets.
National Animal Safety and Prevention Month is a wonderful opportunity to remind people of the importance of animals in our everyday lives. Though it's only one month out of the year, these safety practices should be observed all year round. With better safety practices, we can all lead happier and healthier lives.
