OUR
MISSION
Founded
in 1987, Delaware Action for Animals Inc. is a 501(c) (3)
non-profit, all volunteer organization. We are a diverse group of
very ordinary people who view animals as fellow beings, deserving of
respect and compassion, not as products, tools, or commodities for
human use. Our mission is to inform the public about and take action
against the many forms of animal exploitation present in modern
society, but especially in Delaware.
OUR WORK
As
Delaware’s most experienced animal rights organization we are all
too familiar with our small state’s long-standing tradition of
exploiting animals on a very large scale. This often makes
opportunities to help animals seem endless, but the steady progress
we witnesses year after year keeps us moving forward and provides
great hope for the future
Our
work, which takes the form of humane education, community outreach,
wildlife fieldwork, legislative/governmental activities, tabling
events, and direct action, focuses on the following issues:
-
Animals exploited in entertainment – animal fighting, circuses,
rodeos, zoos, aquaria
-
Animals killed for sport or fashion – fur farms, hunting,
trapping, blood sports
-
Factory Farming - animals raised for food
-
Resolving Urban Wildlife Conflicts – field work to save geese and
beaver
-
Vivisection – animal experimentation for profit, in science,
medicine, or education
-
Companion Animals - pet overpopulation, animal cruelty, no kill
shelters
-
Healthy diet and planet – promotion of a vegetarian/vegan cruelty
free lifestyle
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Although fully deductible donations are always needed and welcomed,
our highest priority today is to engage new people who are willing
to commit some time (a lot or a little) to making the lives of
animals living in Delaware better. Our needs are many and support
for our entire agenda or participation in every thing we do is not
required. Some members provide administrative or professional
expertise, while others work on only one or a limited number of
issues. For many years DAA has warmly welcomed and empowered any
individual interested in promoting the rights of animals regardless
of what form that might take. If you want to make a difference for
exploited animals please contact us or simply attend a monthly
meeting or stop by at a tabling event. |
