Together we hope to create a world where we are no longer needed.

 

We pause to confront the realization that when any living being is made to suffer, we all suffer as equals.

​

We seek to enlarge the human capacity for compassion and justice for all living things.

​

We promise all those who find their way to us will be treated as equals and given the opportunity to live free and loved.

​

We will prove that with thought void of discrimination all beings are equally capable of stealing our hearts.

​

We vow to face patronization of animals with reason and thought.

​

We will teach what they cannot.

​

We will advocate for their very lives depend on it, and above all,

​

We will listen; for there is much to be learned from the smallest of creatures.

​

We will never apologize for showing kindness to animals, but rather apologize to them when humanity cannot be found.

​

We will help guide our world away from its greatest social injustice, and we will show strength through our struggles and accept our defeats at day's end...

​

But most importantly, we will have hope every morning when the sun comes up, and be thankful that the day has given us another chance to change.

​

So let us all continue to move forward with the confidence we need to change the world,

​

Knowing that with love for each soul,

​

We can make a difference.
