This website belongs to all the people and the organisations who want to see changes made to better the lives of animals in South Africa
Animals in South Africa are not recognised as sentient beings. This means they are classified as objects, and therefore have no rights. This exposes them to severe exploitation like painful laboratory testing and cruel factory farming practises.
Please take a look around to get the latest news, campaigns and information on how to get active to help animals in South Africa.

The Most Reverend Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu has signed the pledge. Have you?
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.
