Fehérkereszt Állatvédo Liga (White Cross Animal Protection League)

“… animals that are able to feel, suffer and rejoice, to respect, to ensure their well-being is the moral duty of every man … On the initiative of 3 individuals. The foundation and motors of the Foundation were Márta Friwaldszky until his death in 1997. The Foundation’s assets are managed by the Board of Trustees. The members of the Board of Trustees perform their duties in their free time without the slightest consideration. The Foundation has a paid employee, our work is assisted by our volunteers. As a result of our activity, we have become a nationally recognized and recognized animal protection organization. We are members of the World Federation of Animal Welfare (WSPA) and the Royal British Defense Association (RSPCA), where we get a lot of ideas and help. The awareness of our organization obliges us to publicize and undertake, talk about batteries or even “swept under the carpet”, but not less important for animal protection problems that call for a solution. This is the purpose of our ongoing press releases, our opinion, our legal assistance, our educational program and, last but not least, the Civil Protection Ombudsman’s Office, which was established on January 1, 2009 at our own expense.”

Fish Feel

“Fish Feel is the first organization devoted to promoting the recognition of fish as sentient beings deserving of respect and compassion. Despite fish constituting the largest category of animals used for food (including as farmed animal feed), and despite huge numbers of fish harmed for research, “sport,” and aquaria, their well-being receives very little attention, even from the animal protection community. Fish Feel primarily serves to help educate the public as to why these animals are deserving of our admiration and appreciation, the immense problems caused by the exploitation of them, and how we can help them.”


Fish Feel: Fact Sheets

Resources on: fish, aquaria, fish pain and sentience, fishing and fish farming, human health hazards, lobsters, crabs, and other sea creatures, sharks and shark finning, vegan seafood.

To be part of the climate solution, all you need to do is follow our Cool Foods principles”

Food of Bodhisattvas: Buddhist Teachings on Abstaining from Meat

“Based on the teachings of the Buddha, this book offers the most compelling and impassioned indictment of meat-eating to be found in Tibetan literature and is pertinent to anyone interested in vegetarianism as a moral or spiritual issue. The Buddha’s teachings show how destructive habits can be examined and transformed gradually from within. The aim is not to repress one’s desire for meat and animal products by force of will, but to develop heartfelt compassion and sensitivity to the suffering of animals, so that the desire to exploit and feed on them naturally dissolves. “
