A minor feat was accomplished yesterday, hardly noticed except by this site manager, one not up to par with the sighting of a glowing and gyrating UFO but possibly as rare as seeing the monstrous head of a primordial creature sticking out of the lake waters. For the second time since beginning this blog more than two years ago, more than one hundred people came to visit this site in one day. That was yesterday, 104 to be exact. There have been nibbles before, daily readers numbering in the high eighties, when sixty or seventy constituted the norm. The only other time readership crossed the century mark in one day was when my blog was featured in several blogs and in a petition relating to the indiscriminate killing of Philippine wildlife. And so, we go on from here...
Because I belong to an group of animal welfare advocates in the Philippines, I can read the numerous discussions between group members and people who, seems to me, just signed up to make an urgent plea for help. There were two this week who begged for assistance concerning two dogs who were tied up under rain and sun with no food nor water. One was described to be on the verge of a heat stroke. The images that filled my mind disturbed me immensely, but I am also encouraged at the same time. There is a growing number of animal welfare advocates in the Philippines and ordinary citizens are beginning to reject animal cruelty, willing to take personal action against it. Just from this website, I can see from the visitor data that many are seeking information on how to report animal cruelty in the Philippines. You can find my previous post on the subject HERE . Keep in mind that your complaint has legal standing via the Philippine Animal Welfare Act which is also known as the RA 8485 .
