It's Animal Rights Day 2024. Today sees the launch of a historic Declaration on Animal Dignity and the associated Pledge for Animals, which I’ve been working on with with my brilliant colleagues Becca Franks and Eva Bernet Kempers. The Declaration has been signed by over 300 leading scholars, writers, and thinkers in associated fields in over 30 countries, and the Pledge is supported by a group of significant animal welfare organizations, including RSPCA, Compassion in World Farming, OneKind, and Mercy For Animals. The Pledge is a short symbolic promise for individuals and businesses with three actionable steps to treat other species with dignity by considering the language we use, for example, or the actions we take to reduce objectifying other species. Please consider supporting the campaign by sharing the short film, celebrating the declaration, or taking the pledge at www.animaldignity.info. #pledgeforanimals
Congratulations on this brilliant Declaration 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 The pledge is such a wonderful idea. I hope it will help de-objectify animals and that they’ll finally be treated with dignity 🙏🏽
Thank you all for your outstanding work and achieving this milestone for animals! 👏🏽🕊️
