OUR Planet. THEIRS Too.

 Are you an animal lover? Not just cats, dogs and other conventional pets but every single animal who are living amongst us on this planet? If yes, this society is for you.

What Do We Do?

We are a bunch of students passionate about fighting for animal liberation. We have a lot of plans for this academic year including:

Educating others about the industries that are actively harming animals - mentally and physically.
Setting up 'change my mind' tables around the campus.
Giving out flyers and posters.
Making and selling cruelty free baked goods for fundraising.
Volunteering at animal shelters / sanctuaries. ...And many more !

Animals Urgently Need Our Help.

Globally, more than 80 billion land animals are slaughtered for food every year. This equates to over 200 million land animals being killed every single day. Roughly, 2.6 million animals are used in scientific research in the UK each year. In Europe alone, it is estimated that between 3,000 and 10,000 animals are killed annually by zoos because they are deemed "surplus" (no longer needed for breeding, inbred, or not attracting enough visitors). Animals in captivity often develop "zoochosis" - a psychological condition resulting in abnormal behaviors like pacing, circling, or self-mutilation. Animals are severely confined; big cats like lions and tigers have approximately 18,000 times less space in zoos than they would in the wild, where they belong.

If you have any questions, concerns or anything else please don't hesitate to contact us on instagram or send us an email. We don't judge :)
