The SafetyvalueU.S. is a nation of animal lovers. According to a Forbes survey, almost 66 percent of American households have pets.

Pet ownership has increased significantly over the past three decades. However, while we might treasure our animals individually, upholding animal rights in general remains a nationwide challenge. For that reason, Animal Rights Awareness Week is held each year in the third week of June.  

The initiative was started in 1991 by the In Defense of Animals organization to promote animal welfare education and further protect animals and their habitats.

The weeklong effort focuses on improving the lot of all animals, including pets, farm animals, and wildlife.

Ways to participate include:

  • Learning where products come from and whether they’re created cruelty-free.
  • Supporting conservation and preservation efforts locally and worldwide.
  • Supporting local spaying and neutering programs.
  • Volunteering at local shelters.
  • Adopting shelter animals instead of buying pets.
  • Researching reputable breeders if you do decide to buy.
