We advocate on all animal protection and exploitation issues, including experimentation, factory farming, rodeos, breeders and traveling animal acts.

We are a very active group of dedicated grassroots volunteers who do letter-writing campaigns, demonstrations and informational tabling in Westchester County and surrounding areas, for the purpose of educating and raising public awareness to the suffering of animals; and the benefits of a vegetarian diet for health and for the environment.  We also do a lot of media contact and outreach.  Our 501c3 is pending.

"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.
