Just a suggestion for TOC.

Perhaps it might be clear to state the date, time and venue of the event in a box or blockquote so that it stands out and one doesn’t need to scan the paragraphs to find such information.

Animal lovers should ask ourselves are we really that interested in animal welfare? If we still cannot stop eating their meat and using their by products than we are not acting on what we preach. Don”t just say it !!!!!!!!! Do it too.
Deriving happiness and nutrition from the suffering of another being is not ethically right not only the sharks but the pigs,chic,duck,etc.
We thank you for highlighting the plight of all animals but Please set a good example too.
JUST A THOUGHT SO PLEASE DO NOT GET OFFENDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Animal abuse in any form is almost impossible to prevent. There will always be assholes killing animals for their skin & fur. There are always sick news of animal abuse. Even in the small country of Singapore, as written & reported in the SPCA newsletters.

We are powerless to stop the continued abuse & harvest of animals ‘cos assholes will never be extinct.

Homo sapiens ravage the homes of animals to make place for themselves. They cause countless animals to die. Every specie has an innate need to survive & prosper in terms of numbers. Homo sapiens have done that, have developed a complicated brain capable of thought & feelings, & should spare a thought for others on the planet. I’d say the Earth is overpopulated with homo sapiens.
