Liam Gallagher Struck the Right Chord for Animals
Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has earned PETA’s prestigious “Strike the Right Chord for Animals Award” for adopting sweet homeless mutt Buttons. The star received a heartfelt letter of thanks and a framed certificate.
Why Some Might Say Liam Gallagher’s a Hero
Liam’s compassionate move comes at a time when animal shelters across the UK and elsewhere are reporting spiking numbers of animal abandonment cases.
By opening his heart and home to a dog desperately in need of a loving family, Liam has set a wonderful example for his legions of fans unlike other out-of-touch celebrities who purchase “pedigree” breeds.
“Rescuing Buttons has been the best decision we’ve ever made. She brings so much happiness to our lives and everyone she meets. We’re so lucky to have her; we’re obsessed. I thoroughly recommend adopting a homeless dog.”
– Liam Gallagher
Why You Should Never Buy a Dog
Every time someone buys a dog from a breeder, one of the many dogs in shelters loses their chance of finding a loving home. Yet breeders and the pet industry churn out litter after litter of puppies for profit, exacerbating the homeless-animal crisis.
Hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats end up in shelters every year. Many of them are euthanised because there aren’t enough good homes for them.
Let There Be Love for Animals in Shelters
If you’re looking to enrich your life by welcoming an animal companion into your family, follow Liam’s lead and adopt; never shop.
And remember, life with an animal companion can be extremely rewarding, but it’s also a huge responsibility that takes time, resources, patience, and commitment. So if you or someone you know is considering becoming an animal guardian, urge them to learn more about the homeless-animal crisis and to adopt, never shop.
