Small Changes, Big Impact: Make Animal Welfare Your New Year’s Priority
Small Changes, Big Impact: Make Animal Welfare Your New Year’s Priority
As we step into a new year, a global animal welfare organisation calls on South Africans to make animal welfare a priority in their New Year’s resolutions. By adopting simple, impactful habits, communities can help create a kinder, more sustainable world for animals, people and the planet.
Your animal welfare action plan for 2026
The animal welfare organisation encourages communities to use its Animal Welfare Advocacy Guide as a practical toolkit for change. Here’s how you can start:
- #EatKinder – Reduce animal products in your diet. Try a plant-based braai with local favourites like grilled mielies and chakalaka. Every meat-free meal helps reduce animal suffering and environmental impact.
- Support ethical brands – Choose cruelty-free and animal-friendly products. Your purchasing power can shape a kinder marketplace.
- Educate and inspire – Share knowledge about animal welfare issues with friends, schools and social groups. Change starts with conversation.
- Be a responsible pet owner – Ensure pets are sterilised, vaccinated and microchipped. Keep them safe during firework season and provide enrichment and companionship.
Why it matters
South Africa faces urgent animal welfare challenges, from wildlife exploitation to factory farming and stray animal suffering. By embracing compassionate choices, communities can help protect animals and promote sustainable living.
