Vision

A world in which humans and non-humans exist harmoniously.

Ethics

Animal ethic is a multi-faceted, comprehensive set of principles which lend themselves to understanding animal/human issues through knowledge, reasoning and by acting for the moral good. 

Values

There exists across the state of New Jersey, a vast number of citizens who recognize that there are differences between human and non-human animals but that the differences are of degree, not of kind. They hold that all sentient beings have intrinsic value and possess complex systems of awareness, therefore, should be treated with deference. As a result, they share a desire to extend a compassionate hand beyond humankind to the animal kingdom in ways which reflect a progressive, humane society.
