Tired of HEARING about animal activism and want to actually get off the couch and DO something? Well, this is the group for you! Every member must participate in an event within 60 days of joining or will be removed from the group (with a chance to rejoin at any time when they are able to participate). No lurkers or "yak"tivists allowed! Please check out http://tinyurl.com/AAP-FAQ for answers to frequently asked questions.
There are many, many opportunities in the Philadelphia area to "meet up" for animals. Ranging from regular demonstrations at local stores that sell animals to frequent outreach events on behalf of the elephants in the Philly Zoo - the only thing missing is YOU! All of our events are peaceful, friendly, and legal. Our goal is to educate, not intimidate.
Note: We love to eat and socialize as much as anyone, but there are many groups in the area already dedicated to dining out, vegan potlucks, parties, etc. Our group is dedicated to increasing participation in various animal campaigns in the region and as such, will focus on events where those interested in helping animals will be able to do so.

After a two year absence, the UniverSoul Circus is back in Philly.
UniverSoul Circus is using elephants from Jorge Barreda, who has four African elephants - Lou, Dolly, Makia, and Lovey. All four were stolen from the wild as babies. Makia (31 years old) and Lovey (25 years old) were purchased from the Miami Metro Zoo in 1993 and have performed in the circus ever since. Read more

“ Marianne is quickly becoming one of my heroes. ”
“ Arrangements have been made for Bette and Kallie to go to a breading facility. We need every activist possible to convince zoo officials to send them to a sanctuary instead. ”
