Let's have a break away from our digital stories celebrating the World Stray Animals Day!<\/span><\/h4>\n

Every April 4th<\/sup> is World Stray Animals Day, a time to show love, attention and compassion to less fortunate animals.<\/p>\n

A feral<\/span> animal is a domestic species born in the wild, while a stray <\/span>was abandoned <\/span>or lost<\/span>.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the day, here is a poem I love, although it doesn't solely refer to stray animals.<\/p>\n

Animals<\/span><\/h4>\n
by \u00a0Brian Bilston<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
some are big & some are small<\/div>\n
some can fly & some can crawl<\/div>\n
some of them there\u2019s bugger all<\/div>\n
animals<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
some can howl & some can sing<\/div>\n
some can bite & some can sting<\/div>\n
some have started vanishing<\/div>\n
animal<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
some pollinate & some can spawn<\/div>\n
some hunt by night, some wake at dawn<\/div>\n
some of them will soon be gawn<\/div>\n
anima<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
some are loved & some are feared<\/div>\n
some are cute & some are weird<\/div>\n
some have nearly disappeared<\/div>\n
anim<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
some eat meat & some just graze<\/div>\n
some move forward, some sideways<\/div>\n
some you don\u2019t see much these days\"\"<\/div>\n
ani<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
some are camouflaged, some distinct<\/div>\n
some shed their skin & some squirt ink<\/div>\n
some are more or less extinct<\/div>\n
an<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
some have flippers, some have paws<\/div>\n
some can whistle, some can roar<\/div>\n
some once was but ain\u2019t no more<\/div>\n
a<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
one hunts & trawls & skins & chops<\/div>\n
& wrecks & dumps & farms & shops<\/div>\n
then wonders how to make it stop<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What are some ways we can promote animal welfare<\/span> in our community?<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Animal welfare in our community can be promoted in several ways. One way is to adopt a pet from a shelter instead of buying one from a store, as this helps reduce the number of animals without homes. Another way is to volunteer at local animal shelters or organize fundraising events to support their efforts in caring for animals in need. Additionally, ensuring that our pets are sterilised can help control the pet population and prevent overpopulation issues that can lead to animals being abandoned. It's also important to report any instances of animal cruelty or neglect to the authorities so that action can be taken to protect animals in our community. By working together and taking these steps, we can make a positive impact on animal welfare in our neighborhood.<\/div>\n
