Support life-saving projects around the world
I commend you very warmly for the sterling work being done by SPANA to help animals and to protect the livelihoods of indigenous people in Africa... I give you the assurance that I am willing to support your statement.
Signing this petition will show you care about the importance of working animals and livestock to the lives of millions of impoverished people around the world.
SPANA will be presenting the names to both the UK Government and the United Nations as part of our ongoing efforts to raise awareness about the critical importance of animals to the well-being and livelihoods of people.
We believe in the importance of the working animal be it a donkey, mule, horse or camel, as an integral unit in the self sufficiency of family groups in the poorer parts of the world, notably sub-Saharan Africa and believe support should be given to these animals as an integral component of humanitarian aid.
The improvement in the welfare of all working animals through adequate feeding and watering, and the provision of veterinary care, will enable each one to give a better service and enjoy an enhanced quality of life to the benefit of all. Investment in care for the animal is repaid by the contribution it makes as a healthy working asset to its dependents.
