The Animal Legal Defense Fund created the National Justice for Animals Week; this year landing on the week of February 20th – 26th. This annual event is for our beloved animals so we may show public awareness of the crimes harshly targeted towards them.
The Animal Legal Defense Fund provides valuable information videos and documentaries. They hope to share positive changes and resources to better the community. The lives of animals are just as precious as our own. Fortunately, the ALDF has given us a space where we can learn about keeping our animals safe. Throughout the week, we may learn:
- the criminal cruelty laws
- what we can accomplish if we work together to create safety laws
- How to prevent criminal cruelty
- The justice for animals against their abusers
- Share the stories of the victims
- …Plus so much more
To begin the National Justice for Animals Week, the Animal Legal Defense Fund will hold an event with two important people in the justice system. The event will be on February 21st on the ALDF website.
Here are some ways to aid in the awareness:
- Understand the state animal protection laws.
- Learn which agencies in your community you can contact about animal cruelty
- Know how to report a criminal act against animals if you ever are a witness to such a crime.
- Share with your community and news outlets about the issue of the cruelty in your area.
