Today is Human Rights Day, sponsored by the United Nations, and International Animal Rights Day, designated by "Environment, People, Law" and many animal rights organizations. The history goes back to this date in 1948 when the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and to 1978 when UNESCO proclaimed the parallel Universal Declaration of Animal Rights. My tie shows many merry penguins exercising their rights to celebrate dancing, snow and Christmas presents. Of special importance today, I'm helping my grandchildren shop (online) for special treats for their parents (to be picked up by me and then secreted by them until Christmas!).
