Fiona Miles, the Director of FOUR PAWS South Africa, highlights the need for legislative changes and a more compassionate future for all animals.

Attendees can anticipate speeches from Fiona Miles and FOUR PAWS Ambassador Kajal Bagwandeen, as well as the unveiling of a 1.5-meter tapestry celebrating the launch of the Animal Welfare Guide for a Kinder World.

Celiwe Shivamba from FOUR PAWS stressed the importance of animal’s welfare. “Bringing animals to Parliament means recognising their sentence, that animals can feel pain and suffering”

The organizers have confirmed that no live animals will be present at the event to ensure their safety. Additionally, the event will include various performances and is set to begin at 10 a.m.
