"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world.  
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."  
~Margaret Meade

SOME OF OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

• We were the first in New York State to get an ordinance against traveling exotic animal acts in the Town of Greenburgh;
   
• We were successful in getting the South Bronx to drop the Bronx International Championship Rodeo, which was sponsored by the US Tennis Association;
   
• We persuaded Van Cordtlandt Manor to drop its elephant and camel rides, which they had featured for ten years;
   
• Our intervention helped Mt. Vernon and North Salem make the decision to stop featuring rodeos;
   
• Our efforts, which were covered by all major TV stations, helped raise to felony level the arrests of three men accused of running a “training camp” for pitbull fights who had only been charged with misdemeanors;
   
• Our letters on various animal protection topics regularly appear in major newspapers;
   
• Our outreach persuaded the Trader Joe's food market chain to stop selling foie gras.
