Let me start off explaining who Equality For All Creatures is by first listing what we’re not. First, we use “creatures” to describe all residents of planet Earth, not just animals. While animals are covered under our umbrella, we are not an animals-only site. Second, we’re not perfect. Our staff is made up of passionate volunteers who contribute in their spare time, and despite due diligence, we guarantee you mistakes will be made from time to time. Third, we’re not just arm chair activists. When we post something, we want to inspire you, make you think, or call you to action. We will share about rallies when we’re aware. When we post a blog, you’ll see each post has a call to action – something small YOU can do to make a change. We also don’t pick sides when it comes to politics or religions. We let them show their own colors.
We know how hard it is to be equal across the board, so we try not to throw allies under the bus when they support one group for equality but not another. We accept their contribution at face value and hope our efforts can also educate them in other areas. We won’t accept support from anyone who is outright anti-equality. We know there’s a difference between uneducated/ignorant and being a bigot.
We love animals, and we understand there are many self-proclaimed animal lovers who are not vegetarians or vegans. Again, our goal is not to shame anyone or dismiss their support. Our goal is to educate. We won’t post videos or pictures intended to upset you when it comes to animal rights. Instead, we may post our argument and a link with a warning, etc. We firmly believe you have to come to equality on your own, and being bullied there won’t achieve our goal of educating people into making the decision to live a life of equality. We highly encourage everyone to not buy products tested on animals or buy clothing that an animal had to die for you to have. That’s a step in the right direction; the rest will come in time.
We are feminists. We define feminism as believing in equality and fairness between the sexes, not the superiority of women.
We believe in free speech. We support love and marriage equality. We believe in freedom of religion and freedom from religion. We support rights for children. We support a person’s right to identify their own sexual orientation and gender. We believe everyone has a right to life.
