Hi John! We thought you might be interested to learn why fellow NhRP supporters decided to become monthly donors this week in celebration of our 30th anniversary. You can find the words of some of these new monthly donors below (shared with their permission). We’re so close to reaching our goal of welcoming 30 new monthly donors in three days, and today is the last day. If you’re interested in joining this group, we’d be honored to have you. Have a wonderful weekend! – The NhRP
“I demonstrated at circuses against their use of elephants for entertainment from the year 2011 through 2016. I want elephants to live in sanctuaries where they can do what comes naturally and live in natural habitats, get sufficient exercise, forage for food, socialize within their herd and get healthy dietary food and top-notch medical care. Circuses, zoos and roadside zoos deny elephants the freedom they deserve, deny them protection from bodily harm (which they deserve) and deny them protection from being experimented on (which they deserve). The NhRP is working to get elephants bodily freedom and bodily integrity. I pray that the NhRP will succeed in getting elephants the legal rights that they so richly deserve. Thank you, NhRP.” – Wendy J.
“I am SO sick of animals being treated like dirt, having to exist in unbearable conditions and having no legal voice to help them.” – Margaret L.
"My new monthly donation pays tribute to Nonhuman Rights Project founder Steve Wise. It applauds and encourages the unflagging work of the NhRP team's new Executive Director, Christopher Berry, and all its attorneys and other staff members. Finally, it honors the beautiful great ape and elephant clients who, with every legal case the NhRP takes on, move one baby step—or sometimes giant step—closer to personhood and the right to be set free from unjust imprisonment.” – Susan C.
“To my mind, all species are equal, ALL deserving of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But my own egotistical species sees itself as masters of the world with all other animals being subservient, a point of view that is codified in current law with hideous consequences that break my heart. The NhRP gives me hope that by challenging this status quo in the courts that change can be brought about, so I have become a monthly donor.” – Cece L.
