About me:
Northwest Animal Rights Network (NARN) is an all-volunteer non-profit organization in Seattle that works to end animal cruelty. Check out theNARN website and subscribe to our weekly email newlsetter!Who I'd like to meet:
YOU! NARN is made up entirely of volunteers, so 100% of the money donated to us will go directly to our advocacy efforts to help animals. We accept PayPal. NARN has no paid staff, so we and the animals need your help!| $10/mo. donation | $25/mo. donation |
|
You can also add Goodsearch to your toolbar or homepage and each web search generates extra money for our cause. It's as easy and simple as using any other search engine. Just type in "NARN" under the charity, and search away! |
Interests
General
The best way to prevent animal cruelty is by cutting down on the animal products you eat. The less animals you eat, the fewer that will be killed and the fewer that will live a life of misery. And with so many great veg restaurants, it's totally easy! Check out our Veg Seattle site!
NARN's UW Kills Animals informs the public about the abuses and cruelty done by the University of Washington to animals in their laboratories. Over 16,000 animals are kept captive in secluded locations, with over 3000 of them being primates. Help us hold UW accountable!
The Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle is ranked as the second-worst facility for captive elephants. WPZ places profits above the health and lives of the elephants held there, sometimes with tragic and fatal results. We have been working to get them released to a sanctuary. Visit our site Friends of Woodland Park Zoo Elephants for more information and ways you can help.
We also do the Compassionate Consumer Circle, a comprehensive resource of animal-related services, such as pet-sitters, no-kill shelters, sanctuaries, clinics, businesses and retail shops, throughout the Puget Sound region. We put out the Animal Services Guide, a convenient directory that is available in most animal-friendly establishments.
Music
Do you know of any bands that would let us have a table with veg literature at their shows? We want to educate concert-goers about the cruelties of factory farming. Let us know at volunteer@narn.org
Vegan Freak Radio podcasts are really awesome, too: funny and informative.

"Very little of the great cruelty shown by men can really be attributed to cruel instinct. Most of it comes from thoughtlessness or inherited habit. The roots of cruelty, therefore, are not so much strong as widespread. But the time must come when inhumanity protected by custom and thoughtlessness will succumb before humanity championed by thought. Let us work that this time may come." -Albert Schweitzer
"I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men." -Leonardo da Vinci
"There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest." - Elie Wiesel
"The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined. If beef is your idea of 'real food for real people,' you'd better live real close to a real good hospital." - Neal D. Barnard, M.D. (President, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine)
"Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet" - Albert Einstein
"When we kill the animals to eat them, they end up killing us because their flesh, which contains cholesterol and saturated fat, was never intended for human beings." - William C. Roberts, M.D. (Editor of The American Journal of Cardiology)
"I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being." - Abraham Lincoln
"You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Nothing more strongly arouses our disgust than cannibalism, yet we make the same impression on Buddhists and vegetarians, for we feed on babies, though not our own." - Robert Louis Stevenson
