Petition : Recognize January 4th as "Orelha World Day" for Strays and abused animals

The Goal
We are petitioning for the official recognition of January 4th as Orelha Day, a global day of awareness dedicated to ending the suffering of stray animals and promoting radical kindness toward the "invisible" creatures living on our streets.

The Problem: 70 Million Souls Living in the Shadows
Right now, over 70 million stray animals in the United States are fighting for survival. They endure freezing winters, scorching summers, starvation, and, heartbreakingly, human cruelty. Only a tiny fraction ever make it to a shelter. The rest suffer in silence, invisible to the world passing them by.

The Inspiration: Orelha’s Story
Orelha’s story is a profound journey from the margins of existence to the center of a movement, proving that a single life—no matter how "invisible" it once seemed—carries the power to wake up the world’s conscience. He is not just a dog who survived; he is a living testament to an unbreakable spirit that refused to be dimmed by hunger, neglect, or the harshness of the streets. By establishing Orelha World Day, we transform his personal resilience into a global mandate for compassion. This day serves as a reminder that every stray carries a heart full of courage and a story worth telling. Orelha’s legacy invites us all to stop looking past the suffering and start looking into the eyes of the forgotten, turning our collective heartbreak into a powerful, permanent wave of kindness that ensures no animal ever has to suffer in silence again.

The Solution: Why January 4th?
In memory of Orelha’s journey and as an emblem of hope for all stray animals, we are petitioning the U.S. government to officially designate January 4th as "Orelha World Day" for Stray Animals.

This day will serve as a national and global platform to:

Galvanize Public Support: Move communities from "noticing" strays to taking action.
Empower Non-Profits: Provide a dedicated day for vaccination drives, spaying/neutering clinics, and adoption events.
Encourage Policy Change: Signal to lawmakers that the welfare of stray animals is a priority for their constituents.
Foster Responsibility: Educate the public on the importance of humane treatment and the vital role of local shelters.
Our Call to Action
Establishing "Orelha World Day" is a simple action with a profound impact. It is a commitment to creating a kinder world where no animal has to suffer without a name or a home.

Your signature is the voice for the voiceless. Please join us in demanding that January 4th be recognized as a day of kindness, rescue, and advocacy.
