This video presents the testimony of the actress Eva Mendes about how she changed her mind concerning to the animals rights and how she became more aware about animal abuse.

In Costa Rica we have some regulations about the responsible pet ownership, cruelty, and killing of endangered species, however, I consider that it is also important to inform people, in order to consciousness about how to be a responsible owner.

On the other hand, in our country there are several organizations that fight against animal abuse, also they look to provide medical care, food and home to the homeless animals.

 

So, if you are a PET LOVER, this is a call to action.

In order to support the global campaign against smoke, our university seeks to join the list of institutions where smoking is completely banned, for this reason a survey was sent to the entire university community with the purpose to know their opinion about it; at the same time the Legislative Assembly is debating a project to reform the law that allows smoking in public places.

Currently, ¢ 58,000 million are invested each year by the CCSS to manage the diseases associated with consumption of tobacco. In addition to that, people who do not smoke calls their right to a smoke free environment, and their right to go to public places of recreation or eating without having to breathe smoke-clouds that only leads to fatal illness and death.

In contrast to that, smokers ask for their right to choose smoke and have places where they can do it.

So, what it’s your opinion about it?
