About Us
Action for Animals operates under the principle that animals do not exist for humans to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment. We promote a vegan lifestyle and strive to end animal suffering through educational outreach, demonstrations, and media involvement.
Our Organization's Mission
Each year over 40 billion land animals and billions more fish are tortured and killed by food industries, and the consequences of this are devastating for the animals, the environment, and human health. We work to raise awareness about these issues and educate people on how they can help to make positive change, particularly through maintaining a vegan lifestyle. The adoption of a vegan diet saves the lives of 100 animals per year -- and thus the toll that raising them would have taken on the environment -- and improves health, including reducing the risk of heart and other diseases.
