Not-for-profit animal sanctuary Edgar’s Mission is calling on animal lovers to take the kindness pledge this Be Kind to Animals Week, running October 1 to 7.
Taking the kindness pledge can mean eating plant-based meals, committing acts of kindness, or choosing products that don’t include or test on animals.
Mission founder and director Pam Ahern said all animals deserve to be treated with compassion and love.
“If you’ve ever given a dog a belly rub while their tail wags happily, seen a lamb snuggle into their carer, or watched a kangaroo tenderly care for their young, it is a wonderful reminder that all animals want, need and deserve our kindness, no matter what form they’ve taken,” Ms Ahern said.
She said those who take the pledge online will receive great free recipes and kindness tips throughout the week, as well as the chance to win a hamper full of ethical goodies.
Children will also get free access to cool animal facts, virtual story times and take part in a colouring competition.
