Our Activities
They include humane education, community speaking, educational seminars, outreach programs and tabling, events promoting awareness of animal rights, and legislation and media contact.
Issues We Tackle
We focus on the following issues:
* Factory farming - animals raised for food, including foie gras
* Animals exploited in entertainment including zoos, circuses, rodeos, dog/horse races, bullfights, acquariums or movies
* Animals killed for sport or fashion (hunting, fishing and trapping)
* Vivisection - experimentation upon animals for science, medicine or education
* Companion animals, wildlife and marine mammals
* Healthy diet and planet - promotion of a vegetarian/vegan diet
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
"Chimpanzees suffer in captivity...imprisoned, in the name of science, in tiny barren cages. I am haunted by dull, blank eyes staring out on to a world that offers them no hope. The least I can do is speak out for them. They cannot speak for themselves." - Dr. Jane Goodall
"Every civilizing step in history has been ridiculed as sentimental, impractical or womanish, by those whose fun, profit or convenience was at stake." - Joan Gilbert | | 音樂 | Musicians who are vegetarian or vegan or have taken a stand for animals:
Morrissey, Moby, Chrissie Hynde, AFI, Sir Paul McCartney, Goldfinger, Poison (Rikki Rockett), Corey Feldman's Truth Movement, Bryan Adams, Coldplay (Chris Martin) and so many more! | | 電影 | Meet Your Meat, Earthlings, Year of the Dog | | 電視 | The Simpsons (Lisa is vegetarian and Apu is vegan!)

Ongoing: Pet Store Protests and Tabling
Best
Friends Animal Society Fight Puppy Mills Campaign
All over LA & OC
Would you like to help stop pet stores from selling dogs from negligent breeders?Best Friends Animal Society has started a campaign to end the sale of puppies from irresponsible breeders, encourage pet stores to adopt a humane model and increase the adoption of homeless animals in need. Peaceful pet-store protests are a great way to educate the public about the realities of puppy mills and the benefits of adopting rather than buying a pet. Our presence in front of the pet store helps people understand the connection between the puppies they see for sale inside
and the cruel and inhumane conditions under which they are bred, as well as the negative impact it has on our already overcrowded shelters.
Please join us at pet stores in the Los Angeles, Orange County, and beyond. The more volunteers we recruit, the broader our reach. Thisis a volunteer-driven campaign, so we need YOU to make it successful.
Email Jennifer Krause jkrause [at] bestfriends [dot] org or tiffanih [at] bestfriends [dot] org if you are interested in joining the campaign.
For more information about the campaign, visit PuppiesArentProducts.com
