Dear kerri,
I'm writing to update you on several recent initiatives related to animals and
religion at Humane Society International. This October, groups around the world
celebrated animals and HSI helped dogs and their owners in Iran. Also, share
your own story of how an animal has influenced your faith.
The Blessing of the Animals: Celebrating Animals Worldwide
The Blessing of the Animals -- held every year on or around October 4 -- has
become a worldwide festival celebrated by a variety of religions in recognition
of our animal friends. This year, HSI asked many of the groups we work with
around the globe to share with us their celebrations of this event. From Peru
to Saipan to Cameroon, churches and communities came together to honor all
animals.
Iran: Government Crackdown on Pets Halted
Harassment of petkeepers by officials in Tehran subsided in mid-October after
an international outcry that included a formal letter of protest from HSI and a
one-hour Voice of America Farsi-language broadcast on the subject that reached
an estimated 14 million Iranian homes. Read Dr. Unti's account of how he helped
give pets and the people who love them a voice.

are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
