ISAR's Revolutionary Model Mandatory Spay/Neuter Statute

Hi Everyone!

We are new to this group and to Vox.

We are interested in meeting new people and making new friends.

International Society for Animal Rights (ISAR) is an animal rights organization utilizing law and education to serve animals. We also promote the importance of spay/neuter and the adoption option from local humane societies to reduce and one day eliminate the unnecessary killing of millions of healthy and lovable dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens each year in shelters simply "to make room".

We would like to extend an invitiation to visit our website at www.isaronline.org to learn more about our programs, but there is one in particular that this group may be especially interested in.

Since 1992, ISAR has set aside the third Saturday of August to commemorate and memorialize the animals that have lost their lives to the pet overpopulation epidemic. The day is titled International Homeless Animals' Day. With candlelight vigils, prayer services, speakers, etc...basically anything to raise awareness for the millions of animals killed each year, organizations and concerned individuals get together and promote campaigns and ignite new programs to educate others that the spay/neuter solution is the answer to eliminating pet overpopulation.

This year's International Homeless Animals' Day will be held on August 16, 2008.

If you are interested in learning more about this special day please visit ISAR here: http://www.isaronline.org/f/2007_autumn.pdf

Hi Everyone!

We are new to Vox and would like to introduce ourselves to your group.

International Society for Animal Rights (ISAR) is an animal rights organization that utilizes law and education to serve animals. We also promote the importance of spaying/neuter companion animals and the adoption option from local humane socities to reduce the numbers of loving and healthy animals killed in shelters each year simply "to make room".

We would like to invite you to our website (http://www.isaronline.org) to learn more about ISAR and our programs.

Since this is a group focusing on the legal side of things, we would also like to make mention of our monograph titled, "Harming Companion Animals: Liability and Damages". Many lawyers and State Representatives are requesting and making use of this booklet to fight for animal rights.

If anyone is interested in receiving a complimentary copy of Harming Companion Animals: Liability and Damages, simply contact us and let us know where you've heard about us.

Please stop by our Vox page and say hello!

Also, you may find below an excerpt of the introduction to "Harming":

Too often, especially with the advent of the Internet, advice is sought from International Society for Animal Rights from the custodians of companion animals about harm done to them by veterinarians through misdiagnosis, prescribing the wrong medicine, operating unnecessarily or not when they should, and committing every other kind of malpractice imaginable. We also receive heartbreaking reports of intentional acts of cruelty perpetrated against companion animals: dogs shot by neighbors, cats stoned by teenagers, horses maimed by sadists.

The media exposure now being given to the harm being visited upon companion animals causes nightmares for their custodians, who live in fear their animals may be the next victims.

Given what is now known about the emotional aspects of the human-animal bond, and how the millions of companion animal caretakers experience that bond, it’s not surprising that when harm is caused the custodian seeks some kind of recourse.

Often a complaint is made to prosecutors, the licensing authorities, or the Better Business Bureau. Sometimes newspaper announcements are placed, reporting what the wrongdoer did, or failed to do. Mostly, however, the reaction of choice is a lawsuit—usually not to recover damages for their own sake, but to expose the wrongdoer’s conduct, to prevent him from harming any animals in the future, and/or to punish him financially... http://www.isaronline.org/harming_animals.html  

Hi Everyone!

We are new to this group, heck we are new to Vox completely.

We wanted to say hi and introduce ourselves.

International Society for Animal Rights (ISAR) is an animal rights organization focusing on law and education to serve animals, as well as promoting the importance of spay/neuter and the adoption option from your local humane societies.

We look forward to making new friends and maybe even gain some new volunteers.

Over two decades ago, Harvard University’s Office of Government and Community Affairs sponsored an in-depth study of the animal rights/welfare movement, including its goals and strategies

In its Report, Harvard noted that “[P]hilosophically, animal rights/welfare groups can be classified as abolitionists or regulationists. The abolitionists, such as ISAR…constitute a minority within a movement. They are, however, also the most diligent, tactical and clear thinking. They use the law; publications and education to work for their ultimate goals.”

What Harvard said then about ISAR remains true today.

International Society for Animal Rights (ISAR) was chartered in the District of Columbia nearly a half-century ago, making our organization one of the oldest humane education organizations in the United States.

ISAR is a tax exempt non-profit corporation, and contributions to it are tax deductible.

ISAR was the first organization in the United States (and probably the world) to use in its corporate name the moral principle of “animal rights.” The first federal and the first state court legal decisions to invoke the moral principle “animal rights” were in cases brought by International Society for Animal Rights.

ISAR’s founder, the late Helen Jones (click here for obituary), was one of the few pioneers in what would decades later become known as the animal rights movement. She fervently believed that humans have a moral responsibility to animals that could be satisfied only by working for an end to their suffering and exploitation. In furtherance of that goal, Helen Jones originated dozens of innovative educational programs and campaigns on behalf of animal rights, one of the most prominent being International Homeless Animals’ Day™.

One of Helen Jones’s most profound insights led to an ambitious program that for its audaciousness was unique to ISAR.  Miss Jones, whose father was a small town lawyer, understood that an essential strategy for securing rights for animals was through the American legal system—a strategy that ISAR has employed for over three decades.

The history and accomplishments of International Society for Animal Rights are presented in our Power Point presentation, which can be accessed here.
