All-Ukrainian March for Animals Rights
6.9.2021
Students of the Faculty of Natural Sciences have joined the All-Ukrainian March for Animals Rights.
The initiator of the event in Ukraine is the humanist movement UAnimals. This year, the All-Ukrainian March was held for the fifth time, simultaneously in 30 cities of Ukraine, as well as in Antarctica at the Akademik Vernadsky station.
The purpose of the event is to unite people around humanistic values and draw public attention to the urgent need to protect animals from cruelty.
Students of the Faculty of Natural Sciences went to the streets of Starobilsk with bright posters and leaflets that urge people to protect animals from cruelty.
It should be reminded some certain goals of animal protection, which were spelled out in the Memorandum by the participants of the first March:
- Clearly defining ownership of an animal and deprivation of such right as a result of abuse to ensure accountability.
