Hope Animal Sanctuary Needs New Farm Equipment

Thanks to a generous supporter we were able to purchase this great tractor for our 65-acre sanctuary in Mississippi. We still need a few more critical pieces of equipment to best maintain our sanctuary for the health of the animals who live here. Click here to see our current sanctuary needs, and how you can help.

IDA India Celebrates Animal Welfare Fortnight With Dog Wash And Other Events

Animal Welfare Fortnight is celebrated in India every January, to create awareness about the humane treatment of animals and prevention of unnecessary suffering. The welfare of animals is enshrined in The Indian Constitution: “It shall be the fundamental duty of every citizen of India to protect and improve the Natural Environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wildlife, and to have compassion for all living creatures.” IDA-India organized a variety of unique events, including a day to work hands-on with abandoned and injured animals at our shelter in Deonar. On this Bathing, Grooming, Walking and giving Medicated Massage (BGWMM) Day, volunteers expressed their love for animals by pampering them! Visit the IDA India website to learn more.

It is the policy of In Defense of Animals to no longer use language that accepts the current concept of animals as property, commodities and/or things. Rather than refer to ourselves or others as "owners" of animals we share our lives with, we now refer to ourselves and others as "guardians" of our animal friends and to animals as "he" or "she" rather than "it."

"Animals have been regarded as property for way too long. It's high time we took on a more loving and responsible relationship with our kindred beings in the web of life on this beautiful planet. I always think and act as a guardian towards my kindred beings, never as their owner."
