NARD statement (May 31, 2024): “There is so much suffering for all species of beings on this planet, always, and especially right now. And it seems like it is all caused by us, the human species, not being able to recognize our unity, the sanctity of all life, and the fact that we are all sisters and brothers on this fragile planet, rotating in space.

As members of this species, we at Our Planet. Theirs Too., the NARD leadership, and our organizers, including those in Tel Aviv, abhor the violence, bloodshed and wars that humans inflict on each other, on our fellow Earthlings, and on our shared home, over differences of skin color, ideas, or a piece of Earth which is not ours to grab in the first place. We are all merely guests on this Earth, which we call ‘Our planet‘.

But it’s theirs too. And while we cannot solve all the human-made injustices, we’ve banded together from around the world to solve the one injustice which we are best equipped to handle: giving a voice to the voiceless – humanity’s forgotton and silenced victims: the fish suffocating in a trawler net, the chicken shackled in the slaughterhouse, the mother pig unable to move in her bare enclosure, the wounded mouse in the laboratory cage and all the other nonhuman animals whose lives on Earth humans make into Hell.

For that purpose, we have established a National Animal Rights Day in more than 60 countries: one day a year when we ask our fellow humans to put their differences and disagreements aside, come together, and stand shoulder to shoulder around the world for our nonhuman fellow Earthlings. And for them only. Just for one day.

On this day, we also ask for the cooperation of other animal rights groups, in order to maximize our unity and our ability to bring forth a massive change for nonhuman animals. We do not want to dwell on what divides us: Us, as then they suffer even more. We want to hold on to what unites us: Them.

So in this spirit of unity, we call upon all of you today to overcome the pain of violence, the pain of separation, and the pain of hatred, and seek peace and reconciliation. As Buddha said: “Hatred does not cease hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.”

All donations collected at the NARD events this year will be sent to groups helping animals affected by the current war in the Middle East.

Thank you,

Our Planet. Theirs Too. and The National Rights Day”
