Links to Our Friends:Looking for a companion animal in Chicagoland? PACT (People and Animals in Community Together) Humane Society is Chicagoland's largest all-volunteer, no-kill, not-for-profit animal shelter and educational organization. They were established in April of 2000 in Downers Grove, Illinois. To date, PACT has adopted over 3,300 cats and dogs! Visit their website to see current adoptable animals available at locations all around Chicagoland. Sea Shepherd Conservation Society Established in 1977, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) is an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization. Our mission is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species. Sea Shepherd uses innovative direct-action tactics to investigate, document, and take action when necessary to expose and confront illegal activities on the high seas. By safeguarding the biodiversity of our delicately-balanced ocean ecosystems, Sea Shepherd works to ensure their survival for future generations. The Humane Society of the United States HSUS is the nation's largest and most effective animal protection organization—backed by 10 million Americans, or one in every 30. The HSUS seeks a humane and sustainable world for all animals—a world that will also benefit people. We are America's mainstream force against cruelty, exploitation and neglect, as well as the most trusted voice extolling the human-animal bond. Animal Campaigns is the premiere online portal dedicated to animal welfare and conservation campaigning. We provide a showcase for all organizations' big and small, that work on behalf of animals and their habitat conservation. Kinship Circle is not only a good friend to SHARK, but a great resource that empowers people to communicate (speak, write, present) influentially to lawmakers, business leaders, and other key decision-makers associated with animal cruelty concerns. All activists ought to check out www.KinshipCircle.org and join their action campaigns list. Dogs Deserve Better is a nonprofit organization dedicated to freeing the chained dog, and bringing our 'best friend' into the home and family. Compassionate Cooks is dedicated to empowering people to make informed food choices and to debunking myths about vegetarianism and animal rights through cooking classes, recipes and resources, workshops and lectures, articles and essays, the popular Vegetarian Food for Thought podcast, a vegetarian cooking DVD, and the award-winning cookbook The Joy of Vegan Baking. Compassionate Cooks gives people the tools and resources they need to prevent disease, optimize their health, and create new habits that benefit the Earth and all its inhabitants. International Movement Against Bullfights Perhaps surprisingly in the 21st Century, bullfights still exist in several countries of the world, much to our shame in what we commonly regard as an "enlightened" era. These are barbaric shows, and the International Movement Against Bullfights is working to make them relics of the Dark Ages. The Int'l Fund for Horses is a non-profit equine advocacy organization with constituents in the US, Canada, the UK and Europe. We are dedicated to enhancing the welfare and status of all equines by working to get stronger equine protection laws into place, enforcing existing laws and acting as industry watchdogs. Concerned Citizens for Jenny is a grass-roots Dallas Metroplex citizen’s group, advocates for retiring African elephant Jenny to The Elephant Sanctuary, a 2,700 acre natural habitat refuge. We are trying to save elephant Jenny now. Jenny has spent the last twenty-two years eking out a pitiful and miserable existence in a less than 1/4 acre barren and antiquated exhibit at the Dallas Zoo. She has lived in solitary confinement since May of 2008, which is inherently cruel as female elephants are intensely social creatures and require the company of others of their species to thrive and remain emotionally healthy. We believe that Jenny deserves better. |
