Hillside Animal Sanctuary
|
"Hillside was founded in 1995 to help and campaign for animals in need'
and most importantly, to bring public awareness to the millions of
animals suffering every day in the intensive factory farming industry.
Although at Hillside we have given sanctuary to over 250 horses, donkeys
and ponies, most of our 800 residents have been rescued from the farming
industry." You can also help by adopting a rescued animal!

PETA : People
for The Ethical Treatment of Animals
|
"People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), with more than a
million members and supporters, is the largest animal rights
organization in the world. Founded in 1980, PETA is dedicated to
establishing and protecting the rights of all animals. PETA operates
under the simple principle that animals are not ours to eat, wear,
experiment on, or use for entertainment.
PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest
numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of
time: on factory farms, in laboratories, in the clothing trade, and in
the entertainment industry. We also work on a variety of other issues,
including the cruel killing of beavers, birds and other "pests," and the
abuse of backyard dogs."
