vIndianz.com (Dec. 07, 2009) — Activists displayed the carcasses of almost 100 foxes, rabbits, minks, lambs, chickens and pigs in central Madrid Sunday in a remonstration in opposition to the handling and treatment of animals.
The demonstrators, all clothed in white, gathered in the Puerta del Sol square, in the heart of the capital’s traveler and tourist district, each one carrying one of the dead animals.
The remonstration was called to mark International Animal Rights Day and “call awareness to the appalling existence that every of these animals appear to have,” said the Animal Equality association, which planned protest.
“On December 10, Human Rights Day is celebrated around the globe. For several years Animal Rights Day has too been celebrated, to demonstrate that animals that do not belong to the human species in addition be worthy of respect,” it said in a statement.
This can be definitely being seen as a victory for many animal activists who feel it is a time to stand by these animals and fight for their rights. The entire event can help spread awareness and consciousness amongst the masses. Ethical treatment to animals is essential as even they equally have a right to live on this earth like the human beings.

A Holiday Thought…
Aren’t humans amazing Animals? They kill wildlife – birds, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes, beavers, groundhogs, mice and foxes by the million in order to protect their domestic animals and their feed.
Then they kill domestic animals by the billion and eat them. This in turn kills people by the million, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative – and fatal – - health conditions like heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and cancer.
So then humans spend billions of dollars torturing and killing millions of more animals to look for cures for these diseases.
Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals.
Meanwhile, few people recognize the absurdity of humans, who kill so easily and violently, and once a year send out cards praying for “Peace on Earth.”
