We saw this online and thought it was a great idea: an online petition to stop animal abuse along with following it up with a quilt made from various animal lovers’ patches to present to the UN. This type of approach resonates with me as it is visual and something all animal lovers can get behind. The problem with a lot of groups’ plans are that a lot of people disagree about what type of protections and rules should be given to animals. From my standpoint, the answer is far more than there are today, but as reasonable minds can disagree on exactly what legislation should be enacted it is nice to see the general cause of animal protection being pursued in such a public fashion.

The pace of protests, education, and awareness is clearly picking up with the advent of Twitter, Facebook, and other social media applications, and we are witnessing the incredible good can be done through rallying like minded people to conquer a cause. Change happens slowly, but there are laws changing all over the country to help protect animals so all the effort is making an impact.
