In Defense of Animals (www.idausa.org) is an international,
California-based
animal advocacy organization dedicated to ending the abuse and exploitation
of animals by defending their rights, welfare and habitats.
IN DEFENSE OF ANIMALS * 131 CAMINO ALTO, SUITE E * MILL VALLEY, CA 94941 *

It is the policy of In Defense of Animals to no longer use language that
accepts the current concept of animals as property, commodities and/or
things. Rather than refer to ourselves or others as "owners" of animals, we
now refer to ourselves and others as "guardians" of our animal friends and
to animals as "he" or "she" rather than "it." Guardians do not buy or sell
animals; instead they rescue and adopt. We urge you, our members, to do the
same.
