This Is Who We Are

Last year, Americans spent roughly $18 billion dollars on coffee - and virtually nothing to protect animals from some of the worst abuses imaginable. Is this who we are? At the Animal Legal Defense Fund -- http://www.aldf.org -- we believe that we are better than that - and were fighting every day to win the case against cruelty for our countrys animals.

Ready to take action? Sign ALDFs Animal Bill of Rights to let your Congresspersons know that you believe animals deserve better. Sign on your support and speak out to your lawmakers today! http://www.AnimalBillofRights.org

These are the kinds of stories of which Americans need to be aware. Rather than reporting about which movie celebrity is wearing what dress, the news stations need to start focusing on issues like these. I love my pets, and it's difficult for me to understand how anyone could treat animals like this.

Heartbreaking and so poignant. Excellent presentation with a crucial message! It is absolutely essential that we spread the word and get this done!

E-mail it, post it, play it for everyone! This legislation is long over due.

So sad cant stop crying I would give up my life for any of these poor animals. How would you feel if you were beaten up, cramped up in a tight space with a bunch of other people, left on the streets for you to die, thrown on the walls the floors,if someone pulled off your arms or legs or even ears, buried alive, left in the middle of the ocean with cynder blocks tied to your arms or legs waiting for you to drown. This is no joke if you do this to your pet or stolen monkey you are unbelivable!!!

Wow, This give's out a simple message to atchully CARE and some people misread that and do disqusting thing's to these poor animals! They don't deserve it. What have they done? Nothing! they might bite because their scared! no need to rip their leg off or torture them! ANYONE WHO DOES THIS SHOULD BE JAILED FOR LIFE!!

Well done for making this video x

These people do an EXTRAORDINARY work!!!! I've been a witness of their work and they are amazing!!! truly compromised lawyers that do not let greed guide them but their heart and compassion and spend their time defending those nobody wan to defend

Limit the rights of property holders and put them in the hands of the state......... How well is it working, USA?? Ron Paul 2012!!!!

[Pandas2love]

it hurts me so much to know that this is going on

[JUICYPULPY]

this shouldnt be only said to everyone, but we should be physically out there helping animals and finding ones that are being neglected and abused. this is not right and we must put and end to it. a law that says it is ILLEGAL to abuse or harm an animal!
