Hello,
As many of you are aware, I am the founder of Betta Fish Awareness Day on Facebook. For the past 3 years, I have been trying to raise awareness through my Facebook page and blog. My information has been intended to provide resources to those who want to learn about why Betta fish need the care that they do and why myths and misconceptions about this species is harmful.
I thought the community would be happy to know that I am currently trying to reach 10k in signatures for the ASPCA to becoming active in the involvement of raising awareness for this species. They do so for so many other animals of all sizes including, but limited to, dogs, cats, horses, chickens, pigs, and so on. So why not Betta fish? This year marks the third annual Betta Fish Awareness Day and I am targeting the campaign to be more thematic: Thriving Vs. Surviving. I will be creating content that illustrates the different between the two and highlights why an animal caretaker's goals should be to allow their animal to thrive than to merely survive (exist).
I hope the ASPCA gets involved and I hope many in our community do as well. If anyone wants to contribute toward this year's BFAD project's theme (art, writing, memes, etc.) please feel free to send content to me! Anything I choose to use will be credited, of course. I also hope that we raise a high number of signatures, though I doubt we will reach 10k. The petition will run until Betta Fish Awareness Day on June 21.
Here is the link for those who are interested: http://www.change.org/petitions/the...areness-day-in-raising-awareness-this-june-21
Let me know if you guys think anything needs to be added, changed, or clarified.
