NATIONAL HOMELESS ANIMALS DAY 2004
AUGUST 21st

'Homeless Animals Day and Candlelight Vigil August 21 2004' This year ARRG held two stalls one in Lismore and one in Ballina. This picture is at Ballina and seen from left to right Amber, Frank, Barbara at the stall. Many people visited us during the day and enquired about the meaning of this event. ARRG gave away candles with bows and attached a beautiful poem 'The ten commandments' attached. Thanks to the public who visited and the generous donations made for our rescue work. We also thank Suzanne, Ursula, Mark volunteers who manned the Lismore stall. ARRG looks forward to our next Homeless Animals Day 2005 the 3rd Saturday of August. ARRG would like to acknowledge the International Society for Animal Rights in America the founders of this event for the great help and encouragement given to all groups who participate.

Animal Rights and Rescue Group Far North Coast will again be joining the International Society For Animal Rights USA, founders of this event and many other Animal rescue organisations and concerned citizens around the world on this day by holding an event in Lismore National Homeless Animals Day is now an International Day and is one day out of the year where we all come together, united in our mission to expose and win the war on pet overpopulation.

Many organisations around the world with hold events such as candlelight vigils and Public Exhibits to observe this International Homeless Animals Day. A day held in rememberance of the millions of pets whose lives were claimed by pet overpopulation.

ARRG has participated in National Homeless Animals Day since 2002 and each event was very special. We would like to make 2004 our best yet.

ARRG is proud to join with many other overseas organistions again this year and we will be holding the International Homeless Animals 2004 and Candlelight Vigil in Lismore this year.

We plan a vigil where caring people from our community can come together and listen to speakers on Animal Rights and light a candle at the event or take a free candle home and light it at dusk and join millions of people around the world to memorialise the many unwanted animals that have lost their lives because good homes could not found for them. Also a special time to pay tribute to the selfless people who devote their lives to stop the tragic tide of animal cruelty and abuse.

ARRG volunteers ask all caring peope and animal rights people to attend this powerful and special moment for all animals.
We are looking for volunteers to help at this event and we also invite any animal rights people interested in being a speaker at this event to contact us.

Please help ARRG to speak for the ones who can’t speak for themselves.
