Yesterday all over Australia we had the Million Paws Walk which was run by the RSPCA and where all the proceeds go towards the opertating costs of the RSPCA. Even though a recognised charity (the world over even) the government only funds 2% of their costs, which is nowhere near the kind of funds they need to run organisation and their shelters. They do a wonderful job and deserve much more help and backing. So this wonderful event I participated in yesterday and had a great time - most of all Ciara had the bestest time ever...lol - reflects this Wag-tivity. I know we've just had a Wag-tivity but with this event just passing I thought it would be a great opportunity to do something with it - and it something close to both mine and Tooty's hearts.
The Wag-tivity comes in two forms - for the taggers amongst us and the more graphically challenged. It's up to you what you wish to do.
The "challenge" is to make a tag, or write a letter (of sorts) to an organisation or friend to petition support, highlighting one of the campaigns or events run by your local animal shelter - or an animal welfare agency like the WSPA, RSPCA or ASPCA that may be your country's equivalent. Some of the campaigns or events are:
Million Paws Walk (for pooches)
Million Purrs (for puddies)
Happy Tails Day
Stop Animal Cruelty
Walk the Dog
Project Guardian Angel
Heat Stress (Dogs Die in Hot Cars)
Sow Stalls Campaign (Help the RSPCA get Pigs out of Cages)
Pet Desexing (Our Biggest Problem is Multiplying)
Taggers, when you do...the challenge is also to make a "Welcome" or "Welcome to the Group" and "A Note" tag from it to share with the group.
Cheers
Stina and Tootypup
