Public Campaign
The public campaign to gain support for a UDAW, branded ‘Animals Matter’, was launched in June 2006. It reached one million signatures in December 2007 with the President of Costa Rica, Sr. Oscar Arias, becoming the official one millionth signatory and hosting celebrations in San José, Costa Rica in March 2008. As opposed to DUBA: organizations that defenders animal's rights around the world hope that the UN approves the DUDA (Universal Declaration of Animal Rights) that differs from the UDAW arguing that animals have rights and not only freedoms, this including to the state's duty to preserve those rights and not just the owners of these animals banishing population control using euthanasia.

“Now, Mr. President, we don’t intend to trouble you during the campaign but after you are elected, then look out for us!”
