Northeast Desk, 10th June: In a heartwarming display of compassion and dedication, animal enthusiasts in Sikkim came together to celebrate National Animal Rights Day (NARD) at Rangpo in East Sikkim.
Organized by the People for Animals (PFA) Sikkim chapter, the event was a vibrant gathering aimed at raising awareness about animal rights and concerns. Although National Animal Rights Day falls on June 2nd, the celebration was postponed to accommodate the state’s election counting process.
Under the bright sun, the atmosphere buzzed with enthusiasm as individuals of all ages united to share stories, experiences, and ideas. Engaging discussions, informative sessions, and interactive activities filled the day, inspiring change and promoting a culture of empathy and respect for animal life.
From children proudly displaying handmade posters to adults recounting tales of animal rescue and rehabilitation, the event showcased the power of compassion and community. Together, participants raised their voices, echoing a strong message of kindness, empathy, and responsibility towards all living beings.
In a world often marred by neglect and cruelty towards animals, this gathering served as a beacon of hope. It reminded us that there are still individuals deeply committed to making a positive difference. As one participant eloquently expressed, “Every small act of kindness counts, and together, we can create a ripple effect of compassion that can change the world.”
