It was Sunday 30th of November 2014 and we were having a drink and chat after a Stop Live Exports Human Chain in Fremantle and started discussing the horrendous cruelty inflicted on billions of animals every year. How it's unbelievable that a large percentage of it is done within the law. We all agreed that some days the images and video evidence we see of 'mans' abuses against other species was too much for us to bare....abuse beyond belief. Yet it's true and sadly, the majority of people we share the planet with are complicit in it, oblivious or in denial about it.
We decided we needed somewhere to express our love for all of the animal kingdom and the positives of living a vegan life. We would create an oasis on Facebook for ourselves where only the good in humanity shines through.
Our Facebook page - Friends of the Animals - Perth was born.
We started donating funds straight away to important animal causes and began hosting online auctions in January 2015 to raise funds for those rescue groups and sanctuaries that needed financial help. So far we have donated funds or items to the value of over $65,000 to 80+ organisations - all over the world. All funds we raise go directly into the recipients bank account - which means that 100% of funds goes directly to where they are needed most. Naturally, we couldn't do any of this without our beautiful and generous donors and supporters.
When we're not hosting online auctions on our Facebook page, we are sharing good news; happy stories and endings; vegan recipes and important petitions. We attend rallies and fundraisers whenever we can and we also promote the positives for living a vegan lifestyle and spread an awareness about how 'mans' actions impact so terrifically on these voiceless; defenceless; trusting; beautiful; and wonderful beings and how easy it is to be Vegan in todays world.
Since Jan 2015 we have experienced so many wonderful events and witnessed increasing positive change in the world in how animals are perceived. It is now August 2018 and we have donated over $66,000 to hard working groups and individuals who are rescuing and saving the lives of animals that we love and respect so much. <3
Thank you for your support!
Love Billy, George, Jo, Lizzy, Shane and Trish <3
