Our Honor Information

As humans continue to recognize the sentience and suffering of other beings, our circle of compassion is ever widening. Practices that were once deemed acceptable are becoming outlawed in order to protect the lives of the most vulnerable among us. Challenging our systems and institutions is an arduous task. Many of those in power have been ingrained in the old methods and belief systems. Confronting authority can be emotionally exhausting and without appropriate support systems in place, can result in damage to one's mental health, livelihood and reputation. Our goal is to create an organized network of professionals who are able to formally challenge unethical institutionalized systems and amplify the voices of those who have been marginalized. We practice nonviolence and believe in forging alliances with industry. We believe everyone who seeks out a career with animals has the desire to protect them from suffering. Together, we can create better ways to help and protect the animals we love and achieve the highest levels of compassionate care and transparency.
