Animal Impact

The Largest Source of Suffering

Every year billions of animals suffer immensely, hidden behind closed doors as part of our food production system. And it doesn’t stop there – animals used in the name of fashion, entertainment and health also experience unimaginable suffering. These animals are trapped in often horrific conditions, and have no way out but to count on us humans to make a change.

We are all animals of this planet. We are all creatures. And non-human animals experience pain sensations just like we do. They too are strong, intelligent, industrious, mobile, and evolutional. They too are capable of growth and adaptation. Like us, firsthand foremost, they are earthlings. And like us, they are surviving. Like us, they also seek their own comfort rather than discomfort. And like us, they express degrees of emotion. In short like us, they are alive.

- Joaquin Phoenix
