Animal advocacy is, in a certain sense, standing up to tell true life stories that are not being heard; true life stories that most people are ignoring. The first step in animal advocacy is to help people see things differently. Animals are somebody, not something.

Meet Tiffany! STAAR rescue manager.

Never believe that animals suffer less than humans. Pain is the same for them that it is for us. Even worse, because they cannot help themselves.  ~Sigmund Freud.

 

 The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot.  ~Mark Twain

 If gassing is too inhumane for child murderers and serial rapists then why is it acceptable for our innocent animals? We all know the answer - it is NOT acceptable and never will be on any level.  ~Unknown

 The more helpless the victim, the greater the crime!  ~Dr. Gerald Curtler

 First, they demonized the German Shepherd. Then later on, the Dobie became the "dangerous" and "unpredictable" dog. Now it's the pittie. It seems there's always some dog they have to kick around. Don't forget the Rotties, the Chows, the Cane Corsos and other "dangerous" breeds. It's all false.  It's how you train your dog. Killing off the breed is just ignorant because some people don't know or don't take the time to train their dogs. The dogs should not have to pay for the human's mistake.

Most of those breeds fought along side soldiers in WW2. Now look how they're treated.


The media has to shoulder so much of the blame for stigmatizing these dogs. They just love their sensationalism. There have even been cases where a Pittie has been reported as involved in an incident, when it was another breed. According to recent testing of 122 dog breeds by the American Temperament Testing Society, the American Pit Bull Terrier achieved a passing rate 85.3 percent of the time. Golden Retrievers 83.2 percent, Collies 79.4, Beagles at 78.2 percent, and Standard Schnauzers, a surprisingly low 63.5 percent.

 

The Ten Trusts are: Rejoice that we are part of the animal kingdom. Respect all life. Open our minds, in humility, to animals and learn from them. Teach our children to respect and love nature. Be wise stewards of life on Earth. Value and help preserve the sounds of nature. Refrain from harming life in order to learn about it. Have the courage of our convictions. Praise and help those who work for animals and the natural world. Act knowing we are not alone and live with hope. Coda: After all is said and done, silence is betrayal.  ~Jane Goodall and Mark Bekoff

Meet Shauna Marie! Founder & Rescuer.  I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something;
and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.
                                                    ~Edward Everett Hale


 

  

 We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words. ~Anna Sewell

 Our goal: to convince people to rescue and adopt instead of buying or selling animals, to disavow the language and concept of animal ownership. ~Eliot Katz

 I put the word 'euthanasia' in quotes because I don't believe that any such thing really exists. Euthanasia, according to the dictionary, is defined as "a pleasant death." There is nothing 'pleasant' about taking the life of a healthy, vibrant being. And I doubt very much that the animals being killed think that it's so pleasant.  ~Mark Whitt

 A wish changes nothing. A decision with action changes all!  ~Unknown

 We need to stop looking for scapegoats in the face of every pit bull, and look to addressing the human reasons behind the problem of dangerous dogs. ~Gina Spadafori

 When it comes to having a central nervous system, and the ability to feel pain, hunger, and thirst, a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy.  ~Ingrid Newkirk

 If we have black dogs or cats they are the last to be adopted. It is a fact, people will take white or brighter colored dogs or cats before black ones. The only time black is popular is around Halloween.  ~Unknown
