5 Simple Things
The most profound changes are the ones that you resolve alone. Think about these 5 simple things that you can do to help relieve animal suffering, and the essence of loving kindness will shine in your heart. The "u" in humane means you.
- Be a totally faithful and loving parent to your own "fur family." You have more influence than you know. Your high standards for pet care will influence your friends and family to be better pet parents, too. Spay or neuter your pets, train your young pets well, and care tenderly for your elderly pets. It's not always easy or inexpensive, but it's always the right thing to do.
- Make a new habit. Train yourself to be alert to pet suffering as you travel through your days. Remember, you might be the only lifeline for that injured or neglected pet. Be a guardian angel for pets.
- Share a small portion of your pocketbook with your regional humane society or animal shelter. Consider giving small gifts regularly, such as $5 every few months. You'll feel the love every time you lick the envelope.
- Hand out completed Sunbear Squad Wallet Cards to your family and friends. Then they'll be prepared to call for help, if they find a strayed or injured pet.
- Be cruelty-free by purchasing products that are not made by torturing animals.
—Avoid all fur-trimmed products no matter how small. Fur farmers in some parts of the world skin animals alive to maintain fur quality, and many of these pathetic animals are actually dogs and cats; their fur is later intentionally mislabeled as other fur to bypass American fur import restrictions.
—Purchase personal care products that are not tested on animals. Read labels. Make it your policy. It might cost a bit more, but you won't be putting your money in the hands of research laboratories that use animals to test products.

A Prayer for Animals
Hear our humble prayer, O God, for our friends, the animals, especially for the animals who are suffering; for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry; for all that must be put to death.
We entreat for them all thy mercy and pity, and for those who deal with them we ask a heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words. Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to animals and so to share the blessings of the merciful.
Dr. Albert Schweitzer
