happyneko My life with my cats inspired me to join some local organizations, panel exhibitions and demonstration marches to protest against animal-testing. I also launched a blog called "Cats and Vegan Life" to aim promoting vegan life and animal rights.

Dr. Rebecca Campbell Veterinarian practicing in Manhattan, New York at her hospital known as Symphony Veterinary Center. Her patients include an interesting population of dogs and cats, and she has a large following of rabbits. This does not mean that there is a herd of rabbits following her around New York City, but their owners seem to. You might recognize her as the woman in dark glasses buying large amounts of carrots at the grocery store, whose clothes have a great deal of animal fur attached to them.

Shiloh I became a vegan when I learned what kind of cruelty animals have to face. Whenever I was feeling sad or having a hard time, the animals around me were always there for me. Now I believe this is my turn to show them my gratitude. It is my hope to make the world a place where all living beings can be happy.
Yoshiko Schenkenfelder "I was in a state of shock when I first saw what is happening to the animals raised for food. Since then I started buying cage-free eggs and meat raised humanely. To be aware of even a small thing as an individual makes big changes in world around us." http://blog.goo.ne.jp/syoshiko79

Since then, I have been working on some translations on the So Happy, CATW, and Learning sections in this website. I would like to continue to send out messages about the truth to as many people as possible through CFT.” (Illustration： Michael McGhee)

Yoshimitsu Inui/ Translation “I wanted to do something for animals - including companion animals. Since then I started working on translations for CFT articles. At home we have two dogs and two cats. Although we don’t have any children, we care for and cherish our companion animals. I would like many people to visit this website and become as interested in animals - as I am.”
Kaori Kubota / Translation Lives in Vancouver, Canada. Mother of two children and a big fan of the band Spitz. “I had not been aware of the cruelty of animals at all, so it was such an eye-opener when I first began translating articles for CFT. Since then, when I go shopping I can’t help myself not to see how many fur-coats that are sold in stores. I can’t help but imagine battery-cages when I see eggs. Now I am very aware and always think about these animals. It is disturbing when I think that Japan is, in fact, a pro-whaling country. I strongly hope that more and more people will become aware, as I did, of the reality that these animals face today”

Wendy Billingslea/ Proof-Reading Visual artist based in Paris. "I am interested in developing peace on earth. According to Buddhist texts, reality begins in the mind and is extended outward by what we say and do. In a similar way I work to communicate visually through a symbolic painted language. I believe that all living beings and the earth are connected, and animals are very much our relatives! If reality is created in the mind, it must also come from feelings, sensations and intuition, common to all animals. By valuing our deepest feelings and allowing our heart to guide our actions, I think we can get closer to true peace. We must work for it everyday, inside ourselves above all." www.wbillingslea.com

I hope for a world that will cherish the existence of animals and to be compassionate to them. By the way, it is too bad that the Kabuki-Za will be demolished in next summer ..“
Kozue Watanabe / Co-founder "This website launch was made possible thanks to all the support by the many people devoted to the cause of animals as well as the valuable help from our wonderful volunteers. I would like as many people as possible to know that there are so many things we can do to put the period to animal cruelty and suffering."
Masami Mizuguchi / Co-founder "I am happy to keep meeting people who feel and stand for animals. The wish to protect animals from cruelty is universal. (The dog in the photo is Hanako.

* The following is a translation of the Japanese message that you see at the top of every page.
Both humans and animals are one of the species that coexists on this planet. Both humans and animals acknowledge happiness and pain, have memories and emotions, and naturally seek to live in their own natural ecology. However in reality, many animals are facing their deaths as they experience unimaginable suffering caused by cruel human conduct in the name of human desire and profit. Presently, human lifestyles are inter-connected with extremely cruel animal sacrifice. On our website, we are introducing cruelty-free life style choices and up-to-date information that will lead you into a better future-one step ahead: for a lifestyle that has a beneficial impact both on our health and our shared environment. It is creative to aspire to live cruelty-free. To live cruelty-free is not about inconvenience but actually is about making you feel pleasant. You can start making choices today. This is for the species we share the planet with, ourselves, and for the health of our future generations.
Do we really want a beautiful ocean, clean air and happy animals in their habitats? Yes! And if we chose to, it becomes possible.
How CFT views "Cruelty-Free Living":
- Abstaining from eating food that comes from livestock breeding & raising systems that mistreat animals.
- Abstaining from cosmetics or body products that come from companies that
use animal ingredients, or use animal testing.
- Abstaining from clothing, shoes, bags or accessories made with fur or leather
or that comes from companies that mistreat animals.
- Abstaining from any industries that exploit animals, including pet trade,
entertainment businesses such as circuses, and animal experiments in scientific research facilities.
Many of these ideas overlap with veganism. It's a lifestyle where we as the human species can do our best to consider how we can both contribute to human society and to coexist with other species on the planet.
How CFT views "Animal Advocacy" :
There is a saying “We don't do things to others that we don't want others to do to us”. We would like to encourage that this idea be applied to other species that have feelings, emotions and memories. Just as we are also striving to eliminate discrimination amongst humans based on sex, culture, race, ideology and religion - we believe the humans can achieve harmony with other species and be part of a world devoid of discrimination and abuse.

We would like to thank all of the advocacy organizations and the news media
for their generous cooperation, and for permitting us to feature, or link to, their articles.
