The first step in remedying any grotesque injustice is to stare it frankly in the face. Running away from injustice, covering one's eyes, and pretending it doesn't exist do nothing to indemnify grievous injustice. Every day, many billions of animals suffer cruelly and abysmally in the hands of their human captors, on a scale unprecedented in the course of human history. In the face of this iniquity, a handful of courageous individuals have striven to lay bare the harsh truth about factory farming, animal experimentation, and exploitation of animals in circuses, zoos, marine parks, and rodeos. They sustain grueling public-speaking schedules, often in high-school and college campuses, encouraging listeners to boycott the industries that perpetuate animal cruelty. Support for their efforts is scant, and difficult to come by; these individuals take meager incomes for their good works, and are exhausted, spent in every way imaginable, especially for funding.

The Alliance to Advance Animal Rights Education—3are.org—is a prospective 501(c)3, not-for-profit corporation devoted to ensuring that the new generation of champions for animals will continue its work in the face of financial shortfalls. Our future goals include submitting grant proposals to organizations, corporations, and people of conscience who have the means to make substantial contributions to this project. We also accept smaller donations from anyone who is willing to make a positive difference, however slight, for animal welfare. 3are.org also seeks to spotlight the efforts of individuals who create groundbreaking scholarship in animal-rights philosophy.

As you peruse this site, you will encounter scores of images depicting animal cruelty of such magnitude that you may become sick and outraged. The placement of these images is very deliberate. We ask that you not avert your gaze, but rather, confront the evidence, and resolve to do your part. Not just for the animals who barely endure today, but for innumerable nameless victims of atrocity—animal and human—who vanished without a trace, who left no mark upon recorded history, and were accorded no possibility of bequeathing their legacy of sorrow and suffering.
