Committed to promoting animal rights as being equally important as human rights.
"Why animal rights? There comes a point when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor political, nor popular; one must take it because one's conscience tells one 'It is right'". ~ Martin Luther King
The Animal Activist's Pledge:
Until the last flesh is consumed and no more animals are born to doom
Our struggle is beside the weak, respect for life is what we seek
Until the last is forced to entertain and no more animals are driven insane
For all those beaten to a cower, we lend our strength and our power
Until the last suffers in a cruel test and scientific fraud is finally confessed
To those voiceless, we give them word until their agonizing cries are heard
Until the last dead skin is worn and for our usage no animal is born
Relentless battles we must fight, until all others see compassion's light
Until the last abuse has ceased and existence is granted to every beast
We won't abandon or give in because this war we intend to win
By Janet Riddle
As long as animals are treatable they should be treated, rehabilitated, or receive life long special care.
Pawfect Nation is a registered non-profit and public benefit animal rights advocacy and animal welfare organisation that was established in 2010. Since then this organisation has been advocating for all animal causes and has grown its Facebook page to over 4000 followers.
The ultimate goal is for Pawfect Nation to establish a large-scale pro-life animal sanctuary that will house homeless, abandoned and abused animals. Pawfect Nation will abide by a 100% pro-life and pro-quality of life philosophy once this sanctuary is established. We will not put down any healthy animals; this includes elderly, disabled or differently-abled animals. Only animals that are visibly suffering and cannot be saved with medical attention will be considered for humane euthanasia.
Pawfect Nation will also abide by a 100% 'no cages, no chains' philosophy. We do not believe in chaining or caging animals because they are not criminals, nor are they our prisoners. As Scotlund Haisely, former Director of HSUS, aptly stated: "The cage is a fundamentally flawed contraption that causes rapid emotional, social and physical decline of its inhabitants."
In addition to the above two philosophies, we are also opposed to animals being regarded as our property; animals are living, sentient beings that have a right to live their lives free from possession. We should therefore not refer to ourselves as their owners, but instead regard ourselves as their caretakers or their guardians because they become part of our families too.
In 2006 Scotlund Haisley was the CEO of the Washington Animal Rescue League (WARL) and Scotlund conceptualized and led the renovation of a shelter without bars - a shelter that meets the needs of animals in transition.
Why do we believe Pawfect Nation will see the same success as the Washington Shelter in the USA? "If you build it, they will come,” declared Scotlund Haisley, referring to the generosity of donors who funded the renovated, state-of-the-art shelter in Washington. The shelter was constructed with empathy for the companion animals who would inhabit its space."
In South Africa, or even in the Southern Hemisphere for that matter, nothing like this has ever been attempted before. As volunteers all we ask is that you support us in any way you can; albeit financially, via man-power, or by securing sponsorships for our animals. A little sharing and spreading of goodwill can go a long way in helping us to save these innocent lives and give them a second chance at life and love. Help us to help them, please.
