PET+BLOGSPOT AND POLITICS

THOSE OF YOU who have been following this Blog will have noticed some changes lately.

Instead of only highlighting issues of the animal-assisted therapy (AAT), the disabled and the elderly, I have also been including some current stuff.

The recent 12th General Elections has been taking central focus recently. When you think about it, how can it not?

Everything we do involves politics. Whether we like -- or want to admit it or not -- politicians affect our lives.

That's why it's important for us all to go out and vote. Often the fate of the handicapped and seniors are in the hands of the politicians.

So how anyone can draw a line between them is beyond me.

Another reason for the change is because talking about everyday stuff is also an excellent way, I've discovered, to attract more people to this Blog. In this way, Our Society is able to reach out to more people with our unique message of empowerment of vulnerable groups through the power of AAT.

The visitors we get to PET+BLOGSPOT is testimonial to this fact. About 80% of our guests are locals whilst the rest are from overseas. [See pie-chart]

Back to the Elections, now that it is over, there is much work for PETPOSITIVE to do.

It is crucial that we -- and other disabled groups -- actively start lobbying for our rights, especially with the new elected representatives in the Government and Parliament.

This is something Our Society is dead-set on doing so watch this space for more!
