Watership Down: " 'Animals don't behave like men,' he said. 'If they have to fight, they fight; and if they have to kill, they kill. But they don't sit down and set their wits to work to devise ways of spoiling other creatures' lives and hurting them. They have dignity and animality.' " Holly the rabbit says: “Men will never rest 'til they've spoiled the earth and destroyed the animals."
In a world where most animals are worth more dead than alive…those that kill them are protected…and those that protect them are incarcerated. Who is the real terrorist? Centre for Animals and Social Justice: Our Mission is to advance and protect the wellbeing of animals by ensuring their inclusion within the sphere of social justice Animal Justice Canada Canadian Perspectives on Animals and the Law Animal Justice Canada Legislative Fund is working to enshrine meaningful animal rights into Canadian law, including the right of animals to have their interests represented in court, and the guarantee of rights and freedoms that make life worth living.

Humane Voters Canada is a registered trade name of Animal Justice Canada Legislative Fund. Its mandate is to advance the interests of animals through the political and legislative process.

Existing legislation to protect animals from humans is overall very weak. In this day and age, it's absurd that under the legal system, they, - sentient beings - are still regarded as property. It's a real challenge to make change and just as difficult to enforce laws, lay charges, or convict. The punishment never fits the crime. Theoretically, we live in a democracy and law is expected to respond in accordance with shifting values. Of course, we can't regulate human behaviour, but as individuals we do have choices. All animals are at our mercy, and through our voices and actions, we can make a difference by making ethical and compassionate decisions today. "Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief." Frantz Fanon (1925-1961) True. Critical thought is non-existent, and evidence and facts are discounted. This, in order not to shatter their reality, and sometimes to protect an individual or to advance a self-serving agenda. Hence, the ongoing and uphill battle to expose the truths. Rabbit Advocacy won’t be silenced. We are here for all creatures. Compassion, respect, and justice for those with no voice. BE THE CHANGE - JOIN THE ETHICAL MOVEMENT - IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE ANIMALS
When injustice becomes law, rebellion becomes duty

Our treatment of non-human beings can be a catalyst for a more just and compassionate society, or it can be a symptom of a society that has lost its moral compass. We Animals Media Direct Action Everywhere Animal Outlook - formerly known as Compassion Over Killing (COK) How the hell can we stop animal cruelty in this country...what will it take? No one in authority gives a damn. Action, not apathy 'This is a revolution, damn it! We're going to have to offend somebody!'
