FERUARY - ANIMAL MONTH

Oos-Rand Stereo se tema vir Februarie is die Beskerming van diereregte. En ons gaan gedurende Februarie hierop fokus sowel as besoeke aflê by geidentifiseerde DBV-Takke.

Die getal wegloper of verdwaalde honde en katte vermeerder dag-by-dag en uiteindelik beland hulle in hokke by plaaslike DBV's. Een groot rede daarvoor is waarskynlik dat mense nie meer kan bekostig om die diere aan te hou nie - kos en medikasie word al hoe duurder. DBV's in Suid-Afrika is ook nie finansieël in staat om onbepaald na hulle om te sien nie

Daar moet onthou word dat 'n dier ook 'n lewende wese in sy eie reg is en moet wettiglik teen mishandeling beskerm word. Mense wat weerlose diere mishandel of nalatig versorg, moet baie streng aangepak word. Geen mens word gedwing om diere aan te hou nie, hulle skaf diere vrywillig aan. Dus is dit hul plig om die diere goed te versorg.

Wees deel van Oos-Rand Stereo se inisiatief om verligting te bring by DBV-takke in Ekurhuleni. 'n Versamelpunt vir honde- en kattekos is by Oos-Rand Stereo se kantoor in Louis Bothasirkel 13, Casseldale, Springs beskikbaar en as jy 'n diereliefhebber is en ons ook graag hiermee wil help, kan jy gerus 'n blikke of twee skenk. Ons sal die verspreiding daarvan hanteer.

Hoekom verander jy nie jou foto op jou Facebook-profiel met die van jou gunsteling dier nie - al is dit net vir Februarie?

Oos-Rand Stereo ondersteun die regte van diere - wat van jou?

The amount or stray cats and dogs accumulates day-by-day and eventually these animals end up in cages at SPCA branches country-wide. One main reason is that people cannot afford it any longer to keep them as pets as food and medication are becoming more expensive.

Animals have natural rights which must be acknowledged in South African law; these include the right to freedom from unnaturally induced pain; the right to shelter; the right to nourishment; the right to indulge their natural instincts; the right to freedom of movement and most importantly, the right to exist. Animals have intrinsic worth and their value should not be based on their usefulness to humans.

Take part in East Rand Stereo's initiative to relieve this burden on SPCA branches in Ekurhuleni. A collection point for cat and dog food is available at East Rand Stereo's office in 13 Louis Botha Square, Casseldale, Springs.
If you are an animal lover and would like to assist us, then please donate a few cans of food and we would gladly distribute them.

And in showing your support, why not change your profile picture on Facebook to that of your favourite animal for the month of February.

East Rand Stereo supports the rights of animals - do you?
