Whereas, I believe that all animals deserve to be
treated and respected as
individuals with feelings, needs and interests of their own, and whereas
I
believe that animals are not commodities or property to be bought, sold,
disposed of, or discarded, I hereby pledge always
� to live my life with an ethic of respect and
consideration for all animals,
rather than one of ownership in which animals are considered mere
property.
� to adopt and rescue rather than buy or sell animals.
� to represent myself as a caretaker, guardian,
companion, or friend of animals
rather than their owner or master.
� to strive at all times to make the world a more just
and compassionate place
for all beings, human and non-human alike.
