(US/CA) The Emergence of Band of Mercy - Los Angeles

[Band Of Mercy]

As 2009 comes to a close in Los Angeles, activists have seen a powerful
rise of pressure in the grassroots movement leading to many successes.
With continued dedication to the animals and the reclamation of an
abolitionist struggle in the greater Los Angeles and Southern California
area, we are pleased to announce the rebirth of a small group formed in
1875.

Band of Mercy Los Angeles was founded in December 2009, and inspired by
the late Bands of Mercy of the 19th century. Established in 1875 by
Catherine Smithies, a British anti-slavery activist, the Bands of Mercy
encouraged kindness and love towards all animals. The first American
chapter of the Band of Mercy was founded in Boston, Massachusetts in
1882 spreading the same message of animal rights. Since then, other
animal rights activists have adopted the name and revived the group,
such as Ronnie Lee and Cliff Goodman in 1972.

*Band of Mercy Los Angeles is an abolitionist animal rights organization
in the greater L.A. area. We are above-ground activists fighting to end
all forms of speciesism and dedicated to total animal liberation. *

*From the beginning to the end, without compromise. *
