Whether it's an aquarium, terrarium, gilded cage, or four paws, pets add to your life. National Responsible Animal Guardian Month in the United States focuses on the needs of your pets and services that keep them in their best health and happiness.
This event is believed created by the California non-profit In Defense of Animals. Per their 2017 press release, the organization outlines its 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, cherish and love them, and always treat them as family, with respect, compassion, consideration, kindness, and gentleness.
2. To care for their emotional needs and address behavior issues.
3. To promise only to adopt and never buy or sell a living creature.
4. To commit to sterilizing your animal companions.
5. Always provide them with nutritious food, fresh water, and daily exercise, and avoid using toxic cleaners and chemicals in your home.
6. always refer to yourself and others as guardians and family of your animal companions rather than owners or masters.
7. 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and their environments, to preserve their habitats, to work to end their enslavement, and to terminate any cruel and outdated customs and traditions in our country and around the world.
In Defense of Animals invites you to pledge to drop the word "owner" and become, from this day, a "guardian" to all animals. Thank you for doing your part.
