Seals In Canada Need Your Help

This month, the world’s largest slaughter of marine mammals is scheduled to resume. This year, there are barely any ice floes in eastern Canada. The ice is critical for seals to nurse their young and for the pups to gain strength in order to survive. If Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper does not intervene and cancel the hunt, sealers will kill the few remaining survivors. Please join IDA by taking action today and on March 15, the Day of Action for Seals in Canada. Click here to see what you can do for seals right now and especially on March 15.

Oscar Loves The Cove! Could This Mean Real Change For Dolphins?

It is the policy of In Defense of Animals to no longer use language that accepts the current concept of animals as property, commodities and/or things. Rather than refer to ourselves or others as "owners" of animals we share our lives with, we now refer to ourselves and others as "guardians" of our animal friends and to animals as "he" or "she" rather than "it."

"Animals have been regarded as property for way too long. It's high time we took on a more loving and responsible relationship with our kindred beings in the web of life on this beautiful planet. I always think and act as a guardian towards my kindred beings, never as their owner."
