Albert Einstein once said, “Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

Each day this month on social media and on our website we will be highlighting and sharing rescue and advocacy stories of profound compassion; each story an example of kindnesses shown to animals who might otherwise have been overlooked, animals who desperately needed help and kindness but had no voice to ask. Your support of In Defense of Animals is what makes each story possible; you are there for every life saved, your compassion for all living things is at the heart of what we do and it is what gives each rescue his or her own voice.

Our work is only accomplished through the kindness and generosity of our supporters. Please follow along with us this month as we post a new story every day to Facebook and please consider making a generous donation today  so that in the coming year we will fill future days with many more examples of compassion shown to all living beings.
