During this period of isolation, NAWC has developed some new members due to online promotion and has close contact and communication with them. At the same time, it has also accumulated a lot of knowledge about the connection between animals and viruses. The leaflets and props echoing the hot topics have been prepared for further publicity. Perhaps this event on the connection between animals and viruses can attract enough attention.

After the closure of the city’s policies, they will also change their previous activities. They focused on the connection between animal husbandry and the market, and understood how these viruses are transferred to people after they are produced in animals. And, they did a series of online market surveys, how many people are willing to do with them, or whether such a topic will bring new attention, because many British people still think that it has nothing to do with them, just happen In Wuhan, China, the consequences of consuming animals have affected the entire world. At the same time, it also emphasizes that those suppliers of animal products in the market should also be responsible for the current situation.

“We generally know that pandemic viruses come from the consumption of animals and animal products. For example, in addition to the new coronavirus, the viruses brought from animals such as SARS, Ebola, Swine Flu, Bird Flu, etc. have all been harmful to people. Has affected the health of life, and three-quarters of new or emerging infectious diseases come from animals and factory farming / marketing, which is a time bomb for a pandemic in the future. Now is the time to end animal consumption, and choose not only vegetarians It protects animals and promotes our healthy life. I hope people can learn this lesson and make the right choices again. Even if you don’t care about animals, you should at least think about humans and stop eating animals and animal products. Will first reduce the number of diseases transmitted to humans. “

It is understood that because of the impact of the virus, farms and pastures have also experienced unprecedented disasters. Producers lack a consumer chain, and many dairy products and eggs are stranded, resulting in a lot of waste. Not only that, but it also causes great harm to animals. Despite the oversupply of milk, dairy farmers still need to milk cows several times a day. This waste is really distressing. Indeed, we need to move forward and build a sustainable plant-based food system that will serve better but healthy human lives.

Not only did they rescue many stray animals, help them find homes, but they also told us to love our pets and protect Animals and the idea of adopting instead of buying. I am fortunate to have such an organization that helps thousands of stray animals, not just cats and dogs, but also cattle, sheep and chickens. “

Founded in 1896, the Newcastle Cat and Dog Shelter helps thousands of lost, unwanted, neglected, abused and abandoned animals every year. Its goal is to promote friendliness and prevent animal cruelty. They reunite with the lost animals, with their owners, and find a new home of love for those who no longer want it.

Becoming a vegan is a way to protect animals

by yuwenmia17th Feb 202020th Mar 2020

Animal rights activists gathered at Newcastle’s Monument to protest the treatment of livestock in farming. The vegan animal rights organization called the Northern Animal Welfare Cooperative (NAWC). They have different aspects of vegetarianism, almost every Saturday, at the grey monument in Newcastle. This week, they are focusing on protecting the environment, protecting animals, and focusing on their own health. They are advocating to people what changes vegetarianism will bring to our lives.

NAWC opposes all animal exploitation and is committed to abolishing animal exploitation rather than improving welfare standards. They fight alongside other specific animal welfare groups and provide support to provide educational information and peaceful protests against animal cruelty. The team’s main goal is to ensure that a focused approach to animal abuse is maintained by working with other like-minded individuals and groups in a mutually respectful environment.

This organization protects animals through this vegan lifestyle, not only eliminating meat products from the diet, but also not wearing any fur clothing. Most people do not understand the necessary connection between being vegetarian and protecting animals.

The main protection of animal rights is: First, according to the relationship between supply and demand, fewer animal products are used, and the number of animals that need to be farmed will be reduced. Secondly, pay attention to or practice animal rights protection and speak for animals. Moreover, vegetarians often join some animal protection associations / organizations and participate in activities; they can directly contribute to the protection of animal rights, such as NAWC’s weekly publicity, so that more people can understand this issue.

NAWC member Jax Lord said: “Animals are often treated unfairly. Cats and dogs are treated as pets, but pigs, cows and chickens are treated as food. If we treat them the same way, there will be more animals. It ’s not cruel to people. And many people do n’t understand the truth of dairy production. This process is very cruel. Farmers force cows to get pregnant and then steal their babies because cows are only pregnant or have cows. When the baby is born, milk is secreted to produce milk. Therefore, in the dairy industry, when the cow is 12 months old, artificial insemination allows the cow to conceive, and it is pregnant again and again, so that the cow can have a steady flow of milk. However, those little bulls will turn them into veal and burgers before their natural lifespan of 25 years. These operations are already industry practice. So we hope that more people can take some action to protect them from knowing the truth. Being hurt and becoming a vegan is one way. “

Join me in caring for animals

Through this platform, people pay more attention to protecting animals, not only our pet cats and dogs, but also poultry and wild animals that should be treated well. Animals should also enjoy equal treatment.

Here, there are many non-profit organizations related to animal protection. I will participate in their publicity activities and learn more about animal protection.

I will also learn about this issue from different perspectives by reaching different people. For example, to interview vegetarians, based on their philosophy, not only eliminate meat in the diet, but also do not wear any animal fur products in life. I will also learn from vegans about their recipes and share them with everyone.

As well as approaching the climate strike group to understand the current situation of the animals behind the Australian forest fires, and to pay more attention to animal protection based on environmental issues. Through interviews with the strikers, learn about the adverse weather and environmental harm to animals, and what people should do Action to change and protect our homes as well as the animals.

There is also a further understanding of the dairy industry, how dairy products are produced, and how much harm is caused to animals. Discuss with animal welfare organizations how to reduce the harm to animals.

In the meantime, look for stray animal rescue centers, record their rescue of stray animals, interview them what they think about animal strays, and call on people to treat animals and protect them.

I hope you can join me in paying attention to the issue of animal protection!
