On Monday, July 5, the European Commission announced the premiere edition of “Action and Understanding:
The Animal Welfare Newsletter.” Available twice annually, the publication is intended to highlight the recognition of animals as sentient beings through its presentation of recent animal welfare developments and trends.

Moreover, comments and feedback are invited from the public in the hope of creating active dialog for
further improvements. The newsletter’s first edition, for example, features resources to inform children at an early age aboutthe sensitive and aware nature of animals, along with news of the upcoming First International Conference on Education and Animal Welfare in Brussels, Belgium set to occur in October this year.

A big bravo European Commission for offering the public information about constructive developments
as well as the need for continued efforts on behalf of our animal co-inhabitants. Blessed be such forward thinking measures in helping usher us into an era where all beings co-exist in harmony and respect.
