We believe in the words of Alice Walker, who said, "The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men." In this spirit we endeavor to change the relationship between human and non-human animals from one of exploitation to one of compassionate peaceful coexistence. We work to raise awareness within the community, encourage thoughtful discussion, and take action in the interests of the non-human animals with whom we share this planet. We encourage people to think about the many ways our society exploits non-human animals and suggest positive things they can do in their daily lives to avoid causing animal suffering.
