For hundreds of years people have campaigned against the ill treatment of animals. Some activists have described this as animal rights, others as animal welfare, or animal advocacy. In this week long course we will analyse various past - and present - attitudes toward animals. We will also consider the different ways in which animals are treated and respected.
Historian and author Hilda Kean and animal advocate Kim Stallwood will teach the course, Animal Rights: past and present, at Ruskin College, Oxford on March 16 - 20, 2009. Please make a note of the date now if you would like to attend and participate in this unique educational opportunity.

Please join Kim Stallwood in North Carolina on October 3-5,2008, for the 23rd annual International Compassionate Living Festival. Founded in 1985 by Tom and Nancy Regan of the Culture and Animals Foundation, the ICLF brings together renowned scholars, authors, activists and artists who work for nonviolence social change on behalf of animals worldwide. These individuals represent a wide range of backgrounds, interests, experiences and perspectives.
This event is meant to provide novice and veteran animal advocates with information, inspiration and a means for respectful discussion of important, timely issues of many kinds. It complements rather than duplicates other animal rights conferences, and offers a unique forum for “thinking activists” and “activist thinkers.”
