“We did a campaign here with New York Times. We had a great ad: "Today in America, someone will kill an elephant for a bracelet." We became sensitized in our society. Now there are four or five billion people in Asia who need to get this message. We need to use social media, print magazines, celebrities - anything we can to share this message. It's not cool, it's not okay. You are destroying beautiful animals. You are robbing a continent of its wealth. And you are hurting a lot of innocent people.” PeopleNeedsUseTodayAmericaBeautifulSocialHurtWealthAnimalFiveFourShareMediaNew YorkMessagesOkaySocial MediaBillionsCampaignsInnocentMagazinesOur SocietyPrintDestroyingAdsContinentsElephantsAsiaNew York TimesRobbingBraceletNot Okay Author:Patrick Bergin

“To be proactive is to educate yourself and get the word out via social media, or through one of the many animal-welfare organizations around the world, and by signing petitions, starting your own campaigns, rescuing and fostering animals, organizing cleanups, recycling, volunteering at your local animal shelter, going to eco-tourist destinations or photo safaris. This will help get the word out to the masses, and hopefully, this will bring more awareness and more compassion to animal welfare.” WorldHelpingSocialAnimalCompassionAwarenessMediaMassOrganizationStartingSocial MediaCampaignsLocalsAround The WorldHopefullyWelfareDestinationEducateShelterVolunteerTouristsSigningAnimal WelfareRecyclingProactivePetitionsEcoFosteringAnimal Shelter Author:Katie Cleary
“Undercover investigations threw back the curtain on the systemic exploitation of animals on factory farms. The response by agribusiness interests has been to back laws that ban animal advocates from taking pictures or videos at these facilities, and ban the media from publishing any that are taken. The laws also make it a crime for animal advocates to seek employment at animal enterprises without disclosing their intentions.” Has BeensLawInterestAnimalTakenMediaCrimeIntentionResponseVideoEmploymentEnterpriseFarmsFactoriesInvestigationPublishingExploitationCurtainsFacilityBansTaking PicturesUndercoverAgribusiness Author:Wayne Pacelle
“Things like social media and the Internet, of course, it's not going away. There is no cure for it. And this shouldn't be just like there shouldn't be, you know - it would have been a tragedy if there was a cure for the printing press.
