Whether it's an aquarium, terrarium, gilded cage or the run of the house on up to four paws, pets add to your life. National Responsible Animal Guardian Month in the United States is about focusing on the needs of your pets and services that keep them in their best health and happiness.
This event is believed created by California non-profit In Defense of Animals. Per their 2017 press release the organization outlines their objectives:
As animal guardians, we urge all who share their homes with one or more animal companions:
1. To make a lifetime commitment to them, to cherish and love them, to always treat them as family, with respect, compassion, consideration, kindness and gentleness.
2. To care for their emotional needs and work through any behavior issues that may arise.
3. To promise to only adopt, and to never to buy or sell a fellow being - for they are not objects, property, commodities or things to be bought and sold.
4. To commit to sterilizing your animal companions.
5. To always provide them with nutritious food, fresh water and daily exercise and to avoid the use of toxic cleaners and chemicals in your home.
6. To always refer yourself and others as guardians and family of your animal companions, rather than owners or masters.
7. To treat all our fellow beings with whom we share our homes and planet with respect, consideration, kindness, justice and compassion.
8. To protect our and their environments, to preserve their habitats, to work to end their enslavement, and to end any and all cruel and outdated customs and tradition, in our country and around the world.
The concept of animal ownership, enslavement and exploitation must be fought and ended. We invite you to pledge now to drop the word "owner" and become from this day a "guardian" to all animals. Thank you for doing your part.
