From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Queensland Group for Animal Rights [QGAR] is a totally self funded independent Australian animal rights organisation that was established in mid 2005. QGAR's main goal is to assist in the abolition of animal use in medical research, product testing, circuses, rodeos and other forms of entertainment. We are uncompromisingly opposed to the so-called sport of hunting and the wearing of animal skin, mainly fur, but also including leather, wool, down, etc. Plus, QGAR supports the eventual phasing-out of animals for food consumption. Moreover, QGAR is an unwavering supporter of human rights, and we are seeking an end to discrimination of all kinds. With your help, through non-violent action, we can end the unnecessary bloodshed, malicious treatment and injustices that all sentient beings endure. [thanks to ADAPTT for description]

Queensland Group for Animal Rights corresponds and seeks advice and resources from Australian and international animal rights groups.

QGAR is just another small cog in the wheel of an ever-growing international movement which believes that non-human animals have a right to exist in this world without fear of death, imprisonment, torture or exploitation. We do not believe in the exploitation of sentient beings, human and non human, or the exploitation of the environment for profit. We believe all beings are interconnected, we are all equal, and hence we should all act accordingly to protect all beings from suffering and protect the environment. Injustice to one being effects us all and makes us all the poorer for it.
