Meeting near the bathrooms on Parkway Pl & Vancouver Waterfront Trail. \nIf you don't see our group\, t ry messaging us on Facebook or Instagram. \nWe are Anti-Animal-Use—a colle ctive of abolitionist activists committed to ending the exploitation of al l sentient beings.\nWe believe that sentience—not species—grants the right to bodily autonomy\, freedom\, and protection from human caused exploitat ion. Our activism is rooted in the simple truth that using someone against their will is oppression—no matter how it is disguised.\nWe engage the pu blic in conversations that ask:\nAre you living in alignment with your mor al principles?\nIf you’re against oppression and exploitation\, why partic ipate in systems that violates animals inherent rights and depends on thei r use for taste\, fashion\, entertainment\, or cosmetics?\nWhen we conside r the perspective of the victim\, the violence becomes undeniable.\nWe adv ocate for veganism as the moral baseline—the only ethical way to live with out demanding the use\, abuse\, or killing of others.\nWe oppose all forms of exploitation\, oppression\, and arbitrary discrimination—human or nonh uman. We strive to honor the dignity of all sentient beings\, to hold ours elves accountable\, to learn from our mistakes\, and to do better—together .\nWe have different options for advocating. We have some TV screens that play dominion. We have nongraphic signs that draw curious people in to ans wer a few questions.
