Mission of Light
Help us all shine a light on animal cruelty.
About mission of light
Pasado’s Safe Haven launched a ‘Mission of Light’ (used in social media as #MissionOfLight) to help us all shine a light on animal cruelty and to inspire change. So often, we humans feel helpless after we bear witness to animal cruelty. The suffering can be brutal. The scope can be so massive. And the victims so innocent. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
Yet, in order to end animal cruelty, we humans must fight on their behalf. We must spread awareness. We must be warriors of light. We must take our best selves out into the world to talk about and inspire change.
By supporting Mission of Light, you are taking a stand for the animals
There are many ways, big and small, that we all can help animals everywhere:
- USE YOUR POWER AS A CONSUMER to help animals;
- Choose to leave animals off your plate
- Choose products that are not tested on animals
- Choose fashion/clothing that is not made from animals
- USE YOUR POWER AS A CITIZEN to help animals;
- Report animal cruelty and be persistent about follow up
- Help support efforts to strengthen existing animal cruelty laws
- Demand that existing animal cruelty laws are enforced
- RESCUE an animal who has survived neglect or cruelty – “Adopt Don’t Shop!”
- EDUCATE your friends and family about why your choices are important to you
- BE KIND to all beings – including yourself!
Thank you for caring. Thank you for being a light in this world.
COPING WITH EMOTIONS
Becoming aware of the scale of suffering experienced by animals in today’s world can bring up a lot of emotions. You may feel anger, shock and sadness. And sometimes these emotions can feel overwhelming that they start to impact your life in negative ways. It’s important to be kind to yourself as you are processing these feelings – and to take care of yourself so you can continue to be the light that you are. Below are a few resources we found helpful and we hope you do too.
