THINKING ANIMALS INC

Recognize our moral and ethical responsibility to protect other species.

Build bridges between the different means of studying and protecting animals, and conserving their environments by bringing together stakeholders in a unified effort to inspire the public to rethink and reimagine their relationships with other species.

Expand our understanding of the human connection and our interdependence with other species through multi-disciplinary and broader perspectives on the nature of these relationships.

Share current successful practices and positive, solution-oriented models to make the world a safer and more compassionate place for all animals.

The ReThinking Animals Summit in May, 2017 in New York City will be the most diverse and comprehensive gathering to date of global experts in the research, conservation and humane treatment of animals conversing with leaders in business, government, media, education, theology and the arts to challenge our current understanding of animals and their future.

Through new insights and dialogue, we'll increase awareness, evolve attitudes, develop new models
of thinking, and set precedent for necessary action on behalf of other species.

We have a team of dedicated professionals who work with the organization and are committed to its goals. This team brings marketing, design, scientific and organizational skills to the table. We have access to a broad range of internationally known professionals who are active in the areas of conservation and animal protection, economics. health, ethics, and the environment who will speak at the Summit. We have a following of volunteers from local universities and friends of the organization. And we will partner with other groups as needed.

Since July when we received our first funding, we have revised our mission, created a new identity, launched a new website and social media campaign. We have reached out to the communities that we will be dealing with in outreach and cultivation events. We are developing a blog to drive interest and various interactive activities to involve new audiences. we have developed a schedule of advertising on social media and hired volunteers to implement them.
We are still raising money for the Summit--a task that, as all know who have done it, is time consuming and at time frustrating.
