The Animals' Agenda is a bimonthly news magazine
dedicated to informing people about animal rights and cruelty-free
living for the purpose of inspiring action for animals. The Animals'
Agenda is committed to serving -- and fostering cooperation among -- a
combined audience of animal advocates, interested individuals, and the
entire animal rights movement. The Animals' Agenda is published by The
Animal Rights Network Inc., an IRS 501(c)(3) federal tax-exempt,
not-for-profit organization founded in 1979.
Movement Unity and Professionalism
The Animals' Agenda encourages individuals to act for
animals at the level which is most effective for them and to support
those organizations, and their programs and activities, which they
believe to be the most effective for advancing animal rights. The
Animals' Agenda is committed to fostering cooperation among individuals
and organizations in the animal rights movement by seeking to represent
as wide a spectrum as possible of animal rights perspectives without
resorting to gratuitous criticism of individuals or organizations.
Accordingly, The Animals' Agenda will not accept ads from individuals,
organizations, or any other entities which are critical of another.
Cruelty-Free Living
The Animals' Agenda does not want to support the use of
products which derive from animals or products which reinforce the use
of materials from animals. The Animals' Agenda realizes, however, that
as increasing numbers of companies take the "cruelty-free" pledge, the
process of producing consumer products free from animal exploitation and
animal ingredients continues to develop rapidly. The policy, therefore,
regarding product purity must be practical. The Animals' Agenda is a
major medium for those manufacturers who wish to sell to consumers who
care about animals. The Animals' Agenda plays an important role in
encouraging these new companies and established businesses toward vegan
(totally animal-free) manufacturing goals. Accordingly, The Animals'
Agenda may accept advertising from manufacturers who are making good
faith, well-paced efforts toward these goals. The Animals' Agenda will
assess these efforts based on the manufacturer's responses to criticisms
and suggestions put forth by animal advocates and the magazine's
readers. The Animals' Agenda declines to advertise products that
obviously reinforce or derive from cruelty and exploitation; i.e., we
will not accept advertising for any product containing meat or
slaughterhouse by-products, nor ads that directly or indirectly promote
dairy or egg products. Vegetarian products that contain minute portions
of these derivatives, but offer unique alternatives to animal-based
products, will be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.
OUR AGENDA IS TO . . .
* Educate about the human-animal relationship
* Promote an end to the exploitation and suffering of
animals, while respecting human interests
* Promote a vegetarian or vegan cruelty-free lifestyle
to benefit humans and animals
* Encourage activism at any level of effort
* Foster cooperation in the animal advocacy movement and
offer the widest range of perspectives
* Promote products, services, and methods that benefit
animals
OUR READERS . . . are progressive individuals who care
deeply about animals and the environment. They are business
professionals, mostly women, who do much of their shopping for food and
personal care items in health food stores. Because of concerns for
animals, our readers seek vegetarian and vegan food products, apparel,
and personal care items that do not rely on animal ingredients or
testing. They are also active supporters of environmental and animal
protection campaigns and organizations.
WE OWN OUR MARKET. Really? Says who?

advertising. For the past seven years, we have counted on this magazine
to bring us a constant and loyal customer base."

cross-section of those concerned with animal protection, we always turn

following that not only reads, but acts."

League
"Our students use this magazine more than any other to
