Anonymous for Animal Rights

Some of Anonymous' Achievements

Our successful campaigns include:

• Stopping the force-feeding of geese and ducks (over 800,000 annually);
• Stopping the water deprivation and isolation of veal calves;
• Banning the dehorning of cows without anaesthetics;
• Stopping vivisection in schools;
• Banning the use of wild animals in circuses;
• Banning foreign circuses where wild and domestic animals are abused from performing in Israel's main cities.

Some of the cruelties against animals which were banned in Israel thanks to Anonymous campaigns: Isolation and water deprivation of calves; vivisection in schools; force feeding of geese; dehorning and tail docking without anaesthetics; training and transporting circus animals. 

We have enlisted tens of thousands to our campaigns:

• We hold regular information tables in Israel's large cities and at special events;
• Each year, around 15,000 people engage in conversations with activists by our information tables and pickets; over 200,000 people annually read our leaflets and brochures;
• Our weekly e-zine has been running regularly for a decade (sent today to 32,000 subscribers); the Anonymous website is the largest and most important collection of information regarding animal rights in Hebrew;
• We've developed a lecture programme for both teenagers and adults across the whole country; in Tel Aviv and Petah Tikva, the local authorities sponsor our lectures, which about 40,000 people attend annually in schools, youth organizations etc.

We introduced change within the Israeli establishment:

• Our fact-finding team uncovers information which then forms the basis of legal action, legislation and media exposés;
• We are responsible for animal rights issues being aired in the mass media several times a week;
• We have promoted regulations and laws for protecting animals and were engaged in legal battles against abusers and the Ministry of Agriculture, thus creating important precedents for the future;

There are many animal welfare organizations in Israel, most of which excell in their respective areas of concern. Our main concern is different: The public campaign against factory farming, which causes suffering and death to hundreds of millions of animals in Israel each year.

humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.”
