Still more to do to stop animal cruelty

It's high time that intelligent and sociable elephants are finally going to be liberated from cruel and exploitive circuses. This is a humane victory for these creatures.

But there is so much more to do. What about the millions of animals that are traumatized and killed on fur farms and research labs? Billions of animals are horribly massacred in factory farms, slaughterhouses and by hunters and trappers.

There is no ethical imperative reason to mistreat and kill animals for food, sport, fashion, entertainment and greed.

Respect for all life is interrelated because humans and all animal species emanate from the same Creator.
