MAKE THE WORLD GO ORANGE!!!!

  We at Raise Ur Paw, a Not-For-Profit Incorporation, are hoping that individuals around the world will take a moment of their time this April 2015 to wear orange strong and proud for Prevention of Animal Cruelty Month.. to show that this is more than just a color but a promise to stand up and speak out against the cruelty that our innocent voiceless endure and are subjected to on a daily basis, and raise awareness on the issues at hand.

   We have all seen the cruelty/abuse/and inhumanity of the World, whether we hear it from stories, observe it through images, or even up close to take care of innocent lives that have endured the shameful and horrific outcome of such cruelty – the constant reminders of the inhumanity that is plaguing our world and the silence that has permitted this cruelty to continue on.. and it is time to break the silence, save and protect lives, and open the eyes of the World to the actions that are causing more than just suffering and anguish, but also death to countless animals worldwide.

BUT THE IMPACT TO BRING CRUELTY & INHUMANITY TO AN END IS WITH THE SUPPORT & PARTICIPATION OF INDIVIDUALS OF THE WORLD.

   We are hoping to encourage everyone across the World to support and participate in our efforts to fight animal cruelty, with strong , determined and powerful voices that the whole world will hear – to not only make the world orange for the voiceless, but also in support of the countless individuals who are dedicated and determined to save and protect life from cruelty and inhumanity, standing on the front lines and raising their paws daily.

    Without the participation and support of the World these living beings will continue to be exposed and be victimized by these horrific actions, #LetsGoOrange Worldwide!

We hope you will SHARE and JOIN :) Thank You For Your Support.

"To My Human Family" - A Poem From A Rescued Pet

To My Human Family:

They say you cannot choose your family

But I believe this statement to be wrong

Because you took me in and made me your child

A home I had wished for so long.

You showered me with unconditional love

Made me feel like I was one of a kind

No longer a broken soul in need

A forgotten life that was left behind.

You saw me as a life worth loving

When I thought there was no hope for me

You showed me what real love and family means

a special bond for all eternity.

and when that day comes, and I cross rainbow bridge

Thank you for the blessings you gave to me

For not only rescuing this soul in need

but for making me part of your family.

Love Your Adopted Pet.

(Poem By Ben Sterling)

A Voice Now In Heaven - A Tribute to Sam Simon

His voice will be remembered
for he spoke for the voiceless in need
A journey few have travelled
but many goals did he succeed.

Although he fought countless battles
he faced each one with heart and soul
to raise awareness on the issues at hand
he stood tall and played his role.

He touched the hearts of so many
Animal friends and human kind
A legacy that will live on forever
A golden heart and angel combined.

In heaven now he takes his place
may he rest in peace and love
this special breed of humanity
sent from the Lord above.

R.I.P Sam Simon --  "Thank You For Being An Animal Angel!"

BAN DOG MEAT FESTIVAL - LETTER TO THE WORLD FOR HELP

This letter in which I write goes out to each and every individual, media source, and Government worldwide in hopes that they will come together as humanity and take the pledge to stand up to Ban the Yulin Dog Meat Eating Festival, which is scheduled to take place on June 21, 2015.

   We are appealing to all humanity worldwide in order to reach responsible Governments to intervene and make the step forward to not only ban this longstanding tradition, but to also put into place legislation for the protection of the rights and welfare of these animals – The Governments need to acknowledge that turning a blind eye to this event and trade is no longer acceptable.

     It is imperative that the Governments and the world are aware of not only the inhumanity and barbarism that goes along with the process of this festival and trade,  but the issues and concerns that are being raised about the consumption of such meat ex: the contraction and spreading of diseases/viruses, such as rabies, which pose health and safety concerns on the individuals consuming and even preparing the meat.

    These concerns and issues need to be dealt with urgently, and failure to do so may jeopardize their tourism, reputation, and the beautiful country in which they possess.

       We as humanity can no longer leave the responsibility up to those individuals who are standing on the front lines and taking action to save these innocent victims - this is a duty that needs the whole world to take part in, to raise our voices and paws united in order to save these babies and finally give them a voice.  

Please Take The Pledge to Help and Join the Global Movement to Ban The Yulin Dog Meat Eating Festival -  SIGN THE PETITION:  https://www.change.org/p/president-of-the-people-s-republic-of-china-stop-the-yulin-dog-meat-eating-festival

STOP THE CULL - Our Open Letter to Government of British Columbia.

Dear Government Officials of British Columbia, Canada:

    We are writing this open letter to you in hopes of someway persuading you to rethink your plan on going forward with the cull of innocent wolves, which you have decided upon in an attempt to conserve the endangered mountain caribou.

     We feel that this plan in which you have established, will fail to achieve any improvement to the recovery or the decreasing population of caribou – considering the other threats and real destruction of this endangered species is permitted to continue on with the wiping out and destruction of the threatened species’ habitat and survival.

     This threat and key player is the industries that are being allowed to destroy the important component of the Caribou’s recovery – their habitat, and it is truly a shame that wolves are being pointed out as the targets of blame and used as scapegoats, when the real issue is the actions of man (logging, access roads, human activities).

      According to sources, approximately millions of taxpayer’s dollars are going towards this cull, instead of being used for the main focus at hand, the conservation of endangered mountain caribou – and such use should be put towards humane methods and strategies such as enforcing measures to stop the destruction of their habitat and survival, to work towards improving the caribou recovery, such as steps in which to repopulate the species, and work towards protection of the caribou’s habitat etc.

       The power to do was is right for the survival of all life falls upon us, a responsibility and duty that we as humanity need to carry out.   To claim lives in order to conserve another, is not/nor will it be the answer, we need to find solution using humane methods and strategies to fulfill the goals in which we aim to achieve.

Thank You

WORLD'S WORST ZOO - A PLACE OF DEATH

Dozens of animals which have died at the KHAN YOUNIS ZOO in the Gaza Strip has caused more than just concern – but also a social network tidal wave of outrage.

   On February 2, 2015 The Daily Mail presented the world with an article that literally froze many readers in their tracks with the images and story of the innocent lives that had perished within the walls of this prison of captivity.  The descriptions of how flies buzzed around the emaciated body of a lion, decaying within the sun, as a nearby mummified baboon corpse lies on the ground – it’s head still tilted up as though looking out of its enclosure... was just the start of the haunting images that will literally burn its imprint in one’s mind.

  But Zoo’s Owner Mohammed Awaida has blamed the Palestinian and Israeli conflict for the tragedy, stating that it meant that staff were unable to feed or care properly for the animals at the zoo – but as I read through this article I couldn’t help but question if the blame should only fall upon the conflict, considering that they know that such issues exist, so why are they not calling upon aid and support to have these animals that reside within the Zoos on the Gaza Strip removed and placed in locations which they can receive the appropriate care and protection, instead of being left to die. 

   This is more than just unable to feed and care properly for these animals, these babies are being left to perish from starvation and dehydration, and according to the article no form of Government body will oversee the Zoos, and no animal rights movement in this region  - leaving these babies and the zoos unsupervised.

ARTICLE BY DAILY MAIL - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2936551/Sentenced-death-world-s-worst-zoo-Dozens-animals-starve-animal-attraction-Gaza.html#ixzz3QjR8yZ6S

  It is truly a shame that innocent lives are dying within these places instead of being free in which they were intended to be, and that no form of protection is there for them  and only provided with basic care.  The Governments of these countries needs to take responsibility of these beings, considering that it is their countries who are enslaving these babies and denying them their freedom and natural development.

   This haunting article should not only be heartbreaking and angering, but also an eye-opener that when it comes to prisons of captivity, laws must be placed and enforced in order to provide these innocent lives with the protection and care that their captors should offer and be responsible for.

Something Needs to Be Done To Help & Stop This From Happening Again.
