'El Zoo De Mexico' will once again be participating in World Animal Day celebrations here in Mexico City and this year 'Animales Libres' will be joining us in the organization of a March. We will also be lobbying the authorities for legislative changes to improve the protection of animals in our country. Our World Animal Day March in 2009 was a big success and this year we already know that the number of people involved will be far greater. We are all eager to participate in this global event. Since last year El Zoo De Mexico has gained many more supporters so, in addition to the march, we will also be organising several side events such as: an Expo-Pet-Adoption to help stray cats and dogs find a home; neutering stands; music festival, and many more amenities and family activities that promise to make this a wonderful event.

| Worldwide Campaign calling for 'Stricter Laws Against Animal Abuse' |
| CENTRAL & SOUTH AMERICA

Numerous Participants |
This is not a rally or even a protest, this is a Peaceful Worldwide Event to urge Governments to take animal abuse seriously by introducing stricter laws and more severe penalties.
We have from now until World Animal Day to collect at least 10,000 signatures in each participating country – at least this number of signatures are needed for Governments to sit up and take notice! On Sunday 3rd October, all participants are asked to hold a petition stand in their town to collect final signatures. Petition signatures will then be presented to Governments worldwide.
At the time of writing, there were already 129 cities around the globe participating in this ‘group campaign’ - We are the Animals’ Voice!
MEXICO: Israel Miguel Arriola Toiber; Miriam Perez Mass – Monterrey; Maria Castellanos Tlalnepantla.
VENEZUELA: Migdalia Chavez - Distrito Capital (formerly Caracas)
If you would like to organise a petition in your town, require further information or would like to contact someone who is already organising a petition in your country, please contact Tina Alaca who is co-ordinating this Worldwide campaign. Tina will provide you with everything you need including the petition wording for you to translate into your own language. The more people that are involved in collecting petition signatures, the louder our ‘Voice For The Animals’ will be! Email: alaca@isbank.net.tr Website: www.daugbjerg.info
