Updated Core Values

CAA is committed to using our time, energy, and funds to help animals in the most effective ways possible. CAA's Core Values, first articulated at our inception in 1998, describe our vision of building and sustaining a movement to help farm animals. For instance, the ethical value of nonviolence and the strategic value of setting a good vegan example guide all of our outreach efforts. These efforts have aided in breaking stereotypes of the "angry" and "unreasonable" animal advocate, and much of CAA's growth and success can be attributed to these values.

The Core Values are revised and updated periodically by our Board of Directors, most recently on May 5, 2007. If you haven't seen them lately, check them out at our website.
