Universal Declaration of Animal Rights

“Inasmuch as there is ample evidence that many animal species are capable of feeling, we condemn totally the infliction of suffering upon our fellow creatures and the curtailment of their behavioural and other needs save where this is necessary for their own individual benefit.
“We do not accept that a difference in species alone (any more than a difference in race) can justify wanton exploitation or oppression in the name of science or sport, or for use as food, for commercial profit or for other human gain.
“We believe in the evolutionary and moral kinship of all animals and declare our belief that all sentient creatures have rights to life, liberty and natural enjoyment.
“We therefore call for the protection of these rights.”

Uncaged is at the forefront of a peaceful global movement to end animal abuse. Their momentum is growing as more and more people say ‘enough is enough’. Please join to protect animals by signing up and and by making a vital donation if you can.
