Known for pillaging and plundering, pirates have earned a reputation for being scurvy scallywags, but even a pirate wouldn't make an animal walk the plank (Aye, we do have a fondness for parrots…).
Before ye set sail on the high seas this weekend, take a gander at our list fer landlubbers to help our animal mateys. Lasses and bilge rats, hoist the colors and show a leg—send animal cruelty to Davy Jones' Locker!
Protecting Animals Part of "The Code"
- Pirates don't abide cages, especially not for our fine feathered and hoofed mateys. (We'd rather drink grog than eat 'em fer dinner anyhow.) Say Aye! to Prop 2
- The old'uns might have taken to carry a parrot on their shoulders, aye, but modern pirates disavow the scurrilous trade in wildlife. (We prefer carving your own bird out of a plundered peg leg or, more recently, adopting a dog.) Don't buy wild
- A pirate's life depends on a fine wind and healthy waters, especially when ye be talkin' 'bout the seven seas. Help yon whales and other ocean beasties
- Fierce be pirates, but not cruel. Anyone who thinks animal fightin' be a sport, ye be a marked man. The law will git ye soon enough. Less fightin', more singin'
- Want to come aboard? Sign yer name on the dotted line
