One of our goals at Humane Initiative is to bring together as many advocates, organizations and voices as possible.
Because when we work together, share resources and support one another’s initiatives, we can bring about desperately needed improvements, collectively, as one voice we can demand transparency, changes to current animal welfare legislation, including how the Criminal Code of Canada is applied or not.
Together, we are stronger.
This is also why some Humane Initiative email campaigns are hosted on the Ban Horse Slaughter website.
While the initiatives may be spearheaded by Humane Initiative, Ban Horse Slaughter has the established technology and platform to facilitate these campaigns. We are locking arms for the bigger picture.
It is about the animals, not about egos, not about in-fighting among rescues or ineffective silos.
We don’t have to work under the same banner or even like each other to work toward the same goal.
More voices. More collaboration. Greater impact.
That’s what locking arms for the greater good is all about.
RESCUES ARE CLOSING EVERY DAY
It’s not any surprise to the rescue community that sanctuaries and rescues are closing every day, that they are drowning in debt – struggling to keep up with veterinary bills.
Sadly the rescues and sanctuaries that remain open are often full and not able to take on any more dogs, cats, horses or other animals – often resulting in animals being dumped to fend for themselves or ending up in high kill shelters (or in the case of horses being slaughtered for human consumption).
The system is broken in so many ways, for example Animal Welfare Services in Ontario WRONGLY expects rescues and sanctuaries to house animals they have removed in cases of neglect and abuse – and when rescues are full and not able to that – the result? Animals may be left in dangerous situations.
LET’S BE SURE TO CALL IT LIKE IT IS…
Rescues should NOT be expected to take on animals seized by a government agency, animals that the Ontario and other provincial governments are failing to protect.
