“ We do own and operate aircraft, but we also put a lot of energy into telling the story and that’s really important because that’s what’s going to provide transformation in this space, because people will hear about what we do think it’s a cool mission. We inspire people. They’ll think twice about buying an animal. They’ll open up their homes and hearts to foster. And that’s really what we are.…

“ We had to start asking how are we sustainable with the activism in the long run?

“ So before I encountered these ideas, whenever I thought about human’s relationship to animals, I only thought about the negative parts. I thought the best we could ever achieve would be to maybe erase the impacts we cause and atone for our sins and get back to neutral and be less of a cancer on the Earth.

“ Let’s say that you eat meat and you’re sitting down and you’re biting into a juicy hamburger, and your dining companion turns to you and says, ‘Elizabeth, you know that hamburger is actually not made from beef. It’s made from golden retrievers.’ ” - Dr. Melanie Joy Melanie Joy is a psychologist, author, and the person who gave a name to something that most of us have been living with our whole…
“ I think something that I learned from doing that was that this is all in our heads, like it’s all for show just because there’s a security guard that even if he’s right in front of you, it doesn’t mean you can’t just run past him and carry on. Just because there’s a fence doesn’t mean you can’t climb over or cut through it. And CCTV like it doesn’t matter. We’re doing this openly anyway. We’re…
“ You want people to stop eating these animals and the only way to do it is to showcase them in a light where people see them as individuals, and not just a sandwich in the morning, or breakfast, or a dinner at Christmas holidays. These are individuals that feel pain, that feel happiness, that feel sadness and have friends and have families and have these big, beautiful units and they love each…
“ There will come a time in the future where historians look back on this era of history and sort of see it as this moment of historical atrocity, which is what I think it is today. I do think that factory farming and the suffering caused to billions and billions of animals every single year is a moral atrocity of historic proportions.

“ I really think it’s a story about the heroes, the conservation heroes. It’s each one of their stories and then it’s about my personal growth story of being absolutely useless in the jungle and how I got decent by the end of it. ” - Dax Dasilva There are moments when you look at the world — at forests collapsing, oceans warming, species disappearing — and you feel a kind of disbelief that we’ve…
