The incredible movie Amazing Grace celebrates the wonderful success of William Wilberforce and his supporters, who fought so long and so hard to abolish human slavery in the UK - 200 years ago. Reviving this story in contemporary times has also shone a spotlight on the obvious parallels between human slavery and non-human slavery and it reminds us that any form of injustice to sentient beings is unacceptable. Therefore, I support the global Campaign for the Abolition of Animal Slavery. The brief explanation of the Campaign (below) comes to us courtesy of Alan Cooper in the UK (founder of this Campaign):

"2007 marked the bi-centenary of the Act of Parliament, by the UK, which abolished human slavery in its most overt form in the colonies.

December 2007 marked a new campaign.

The Campaign for the Abolition of Animal Slavery calls for a radical re-thinking of the enslavement of animals and seeks to raise radical questions about exploitation of our fellow species.

Campaign for the Abolition of Animal Slavery calls for an end to factory farming, an end to the abuse animals suffer in " entertainment" and an end to vivisection and any other means where animals are seen as utilities or a commodity to be exploited.

Campaign for the Abolition of Animal Slavery believes the only humane way to live is by adopting a VEGAN diet.

Don't EAT the slaves
Don't WEAR the slaves
Don't WATCH the slaves
Don't TEST DRUGS on the slaves.

Campaign for the Abolition of Animal Slavery is well aware the abuse and suffering of animals is so huge that any victory to end animal exploitation may be 200 years in the future AT LEAST. This campaign is but one small step for animals, one huge leap in the thinking of mankind in regard to the treatment of sentient beings.

It will be for future generations with more compassionate natures to assess with disbelief and horror how animals in 2007 are treated and they will wonder how could it happen, why wasn't it stopped.

Therefore the website allows people of today to enter a testimony which future generations will be able to read and understand that some did try and stop animal suffering in 2007 and abolish the animal slave trade in its many forms."
