Continued victories for animals in 2009

In the past year, numerous animal protection organizations, rescue groups and dedicated individuals have made incredible strides for animals. Below, you can watch a fantastic video from the HSUS that recaps some of these victories.  While the relentless work will continue in 2009 - with challenges to battle horrendous factory farming conditions, end the brutal seal hunt in Canada, shut down puppy mills, rescue animals from disasters, ban ivory trading and countless other missions - there is also the hope of a new administration to help shape policies and pass laws that help protect animals. 

As HSUS president Wayne Pacelle explained recently, "There’s no social safety net for animals. Together, the thousands of local, regional, and national groups have built that system of support for animals, and together, we have to maintain it..."

In 2009, I look forward to continuing my goal of giving a voice to the voiceless and using Humane Mewsings as a forum to educate and inspire. 

Happy Mew Year! ;)
