Animal Action Day

Animal Action Day is an annual worldwide event to raise awareness, appreciation and respect of all animals. The free, fun, community day, which began on the Gold Coast in 2007, was created by animal lover and AA Xpose Media Director/ Photojournalist Aldwyn Altuney, after seeing the graphic Earthlings DVD (about people’s abuse of animals over time). Aldwyn was inspired to take action for our animal friends by instigating the world’s first Animal Action Day. The whole idea of Animal Action Day is to encourage people to take action for the animals – whether it be reporting cases of animal cruelty to animal welfare organisations, having your pet desexed, buying free range eggs or signing petitions against inhumane practices such as whaling."If we all just do something, the world will be a better place for it,” said Aldwyn. “Animal Action Day is also about celebrating animals as great companions in our lives and fellow ‘Earthlings’ that deserve respect.”
