Solidarity with the poor, the oppressed, and the weak includes our moral duty of protection and compassion toward animals, the most helpless sentient beings of all.

Crouton conquered his fire injuries, to become an inspiration to many.
Crouton was only 4 weeks old when the house he was living in was destroyed by a devastating fire. His other 3 litter mates were carried out of the house by their mother but Crouton was left behind. He was found the next day by fire investigators clinging to a piece of furniture in the flooded basement and handed over to the BCSPCA. The first vet he was taken to wanted to euthanize him immediately because of his injuries but luckily the constable refused, he’d survived the night, let’s give him a chance.
Crouton’s injuries were severe. He had 3rd degree burns to 35% of his body, he lost the tops of his ears, most of his toes on all four feet, a third of his tail had to be amputated and he had burns to his face and right side of his body. I’m a foster for the BCSPCA and also a vet tech so I was approached to be Cru’s foster whilst he went through what was going to be months of treatment and recovery, how could I refuse!
It became very apparent to both my husband and me after only a few days fostering that Crouton was a very special cat, his spirit shone bright and he never once complained or reacted badly throughout all of his treatments, he was a perfect gentleman and we quickly realized that he was going to become a member of our family.
Crouton’s treatments went on for about 6 months but it was all worth it, he is now fully healed, happy , healthy and much-loved member of our large family. Today Crouton lives with his nine cat brothers and sister (all rescues), and he is an inspiration to everyone he meets. Other than looking a little different he leads a normal healthy life.

Thank you for visiting our animal defence section. Before leaving, please join us in a moment of compassion and reflection.
The wheels of business and human food compulsions are implacable and totally lacking in compassion. This is a downed cow, badly hurt, but still being dragged with chains to slaughter. Click on this image to fully appreciate this horror repeated millions of times every day around the world. With plentiful non-animal meat substitutes that fool the palate, there is no longer any reason for this enormous senseless suffering. And meat consumption is a serious ecoanimal crime. The tyranny of the palate must be broken. Please consider changing your habits in this regard. Thank you.
