This morning, the animal welfare organization FOUR PAWS marched to Parliament in celebration of World Animal Day.
They delivered a memorandum urging the national
government to prioritise animal legislation and recognise that animals deserve
protection. Fiona Miles, Director of FOUR PAWS South Africa, emphasized the
importance of advocating for laws that foster a more compassionate future for
all animals.
During the event, attendees heard brief
speeches from Fiona and FOUR PAWS Ambassador Kajal Bagwandeen, who unveiled a
1.5-meter tapestry to celebrate the launch of the Animal Welfare Guide for a
Friendlier World. The gathering also featured performances and began at 10:00
AM.

“We are outside Parliament to bring animals to Parliament;
we are doing this on World Animal day specifically because there is an urgent

to be recognise”.
