Students Against Cruelty to Animals

About Me

Students Against Cruelty to Animals (SACA) is a student-run animal rights organization at the University of Texas at Austin. SACA educates the University community of the consequences of using animals for food, clothing, entertainment and experimentation. We work through public educaton, research, special events, direct action and grassroots organizing. Through our efforts we aim to defend the rights of non-human animals by asserting the rights and power of students.
We constantly have new events and protests going on. Please help us with these by coming out to them and showing your support! You can find all the info posted on this site on the blogs or bulletins.
