Leeds Animal Protection is an animal rights group.
We believe that:
Like us, animals are sentient beings, capable of enjoying life and of suffering pain Humans have no right to imprison, torture and kill fellow sentient beings Animals are not ours to abuse for any reason
We actively campaign against all types of animal abuse including:
We are opposed to the abuse of animals as laboratory tools, whether for testing substances (e.g. cosmetics and other products), or for medical “research”, and we campaign for the immediate and complete abolition of all forms of such abuse.
We are opposed to the abuse of animals as factory machines in the production of food, and we advocate and support vegan lifestyle choices.
We are opposed to all blood “sports”, to the abuse of animals for entertainment (e.g. in circuses and zoos) and to hunting and farming animals for their fur or other products (e.g. musk, bear bile, ivory etc).
Meetings are generally held every month in the Civic Hall, Leeds. Please refer to our events calendar for the next meeting date.
Visitors are always welcome from 8pm
Leeds Animal Protection are pleased to announce that Dr Dan Lyons of
Uncaged will be our guest speaker at our meeting on 28th October 2009.
Dan
will be talking about International Animal Rights Day and how the
campaign fits in with the broader efforts to advance animal protection
and our analysis of the most effective ways of bringing about positive
change for animals.
If you would like to come to the meeting then please let us know, as places are limited.
We are currently looking for people who can help us to raise funds by organising, for example, car boot sales on behalf of LAP
