You're Support Will Make A Huge Difference

As many of you will know, the Irish government is drafting new legislation for the upcoming Irish animal welfare bill and this will be a critical and crucial time for animals in Ireland. We have the opportunity to stop many heartbreaking acts of cruelty to animals, from homeless abandoned and abused dogs and cats seeking shelter on the cold wet streets to animals that are chained and confined in the circus, to greyhounds suffering and dieing in the Irish racing industry, barbaric bloodsports, cruel fur farming, painful and unscientific animal experiments and much more the list is endless and much goes unnoticed, but we must not allow this to happen, we intend to rip the lid off cruelty to animals in Ireland make it widely known that animals are not ours to use or exploit in anyway, shape or form.
Remember The Animals Need Your Voice!
Remember The Animals Need Your Voice!

ARAN Will be organizing a peaceful and exciting rally for animals on October 5th during World Animal Week with a message - cruelty to animals must stop. FULL STOP.

Our peaceful and important rally will aim to do the following:

1. Raise awareness in the media and to the public about cruelty to animals

2. Call for stronger laws to protect animals

3. Bring people and groups who work with animals together

Year round Animal Rights Action Network supporters and volunteers are busy helping animals. Many often work up to 11/12 hours a day trying desperately to raise awareness of cruelty to animals and bring attention to the animals’ plight. We are also busy educating people and helping to stop animal abuse directly.

Please consider coming along to support our event. Wherever it is you live in Ireland, we simply ask that you please mark your diaries and set aside just one day to be in Dublin and take part in our peaceful rally. Please take this unique opportunity to meet other kind, caring and compassionate people, show you care about animals and raise your voice against cruelty to animals. You don’t want to miss this opportunity.

MARK YOUR DIARIES NOW!

When: Sunday, October 5th 2008

Where: Garden of Remembrance, O'Connell Street (Please meet outside here)

Time: , 1:30 p.m Sharp (We'll move off on our designated route approved by Irish Gardai and end with speech's at a fixed indoor location)
