Knowledge is empowerment
We genuinely believe that people who love cats and dogs don’t want to harm animals who are exploited for fashion, food and entertainment. In order to help educate people as to how they can make choices to help live a cruelty-free lifestyle, we launched a blog called Compassion, which has gained much popularity over the past few months. As its name suggests, Compassion covers a broad range of topics; advice on purchasing cruelty-free cosmetics, tasty plant-based recipes and heartfelt stories from SPCA staff and volunteers about the work that they do at the organisation.
We also recently published a vegan cookbook, Kind Food! Kind Food has dozens of delicious plant-based recipes that will help people take steps in their lives that will positively affect animals – by reducing or eliminating animal products from their diet.
