Fantastic New Coverage for Guardian Month!
We had some amazing coverage in the Chicago News Hound, a paper focused on animals in the Chicago suburbs.
The News Hound created a four page insert exclusively focused on IDA’s Guardian Campaign with ads from local business and politicians supporting the use of the Guardian language.
We want to thank the awesome ladies at the News Hound for their support of the Guardian Campaign and if you are in the Chicago area, please drop them a letter and thank them for educating their readers about this important issue. Shifting the mindset around animals is critical in their protection and care. If you have a local paper that might be interested in publishing information on the Guardian Campaign, let us know! guardian@idausa.org.

"Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it," wrote the famous American Transcendentalist philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson. This timeless sentiment remains as true today as when Emerson first penned it in 19th century Massachusetts. Where respect for our beloved animal companions is concerned, thought, language and action all start with one word: guardian.
