I believe we are living in the midst of a new social awakening, we are committing ourselves to a life with animals, to working with them and keeping them in our world and our lives. We believe in a new paradigm, where animals are known and understood, and a world in which animals and the people who own, love and work with them are treated with dignity and respect.

Working animals are entitled to these rights, A Working Animal’s Bill Of Rights.

– They have the right to do the work they have been bred and trained and acclimated to do.

– They have the right to remain with us in our world.

– They have the right to bring us joy and laughter.

-They have the right to re-connect us to the animal world.

– They have the right to meet our children and plant the seeds of their future survival.

– They have the right to help heal us from our broken and disconnected culture, awash in greed, hostility, poisonous and wasteful machines, violence and suspicion.

-They have to right to live with us and show us how to live in harmony with Mother Earth, rather than despoil and destroy her.

– They have the right to draw the love and connection from us, to show us how to love one another and treat each other with respect.

– They have the right to survive, they are as entitled as we are to live in the full life and community of the world, not to be shunned aside and hidden from our civilization.

– They have the right to love us, work with us, and help us find sustenance and community.

– We have the right to live and work with them.
