We are a fairly new group in Austin hoping to spread the word about animal-friendly events and opportunities. Everything from fun potluck dinners and movie nights, to learning opportunities with speakers or educational movies, to protests, leafleting, and demonstrations.
For domestic animals, we are focusing on Spay/Neuter education and funding, legislation and protests against Puppy Mills, and working on the Chain Free Austin ordinance - making sure people comply and don't chain their dogs. In addition, we have a zero-tolerance for dog-fighting.
For exotic animals, we are hoping to get City Ordinances so that they cannot be chained or have bullhooks used on them while in the Austin City Limits.
Demonstrations against stores and companies who sell or support fur will take place in winter, and year-round Foie Gras and KFC demonstration's take place.
Opportunities to volunteer at local shelters (such as Town Lake Animal Center), and sanctuaries (SARA Sanctuary), will be made available.
Educational opportunities - such as learning Trap, Neuter, Release (TNR), or to be certified to volunteer at TLAC, or to learn how to assess and report abuse.
We will hold fund raising events for both our group and specific causes. ALL money will be to help animals or to produce materials to help animals.
