Zvířata nejíme (We Don't Eat Animals)

I support the Czech association Zvířata nejíme (“We Don't Eat Animals”) personally, outside the proceeds of any single edition. It is an animal liberation organisation that has spent years documenting how animals are treated in Czech animal agriculture – and crucially, it does not stop at the footage. Alongside investigations it runs public education, helps people move to plant-based food, and cares for animals rescued from farms.

Why this project

For me, protecting nature and protecting animals are two sides of the same coin. Animal agriculture drives a huge share of deforestation, water use and emissions – and at the same time causes suffering behind walls nobody gets to see. Zvířata nejíme takes those walls down and lets people decide based on facts rather than advertising.

What the association does

Investigations in slaughterhouses and intensive farms, campaigns such as mLÉK.O. (the first honest “advert” about milk in the Czech Republic) and End Slaughterhouses, its own documentaries (Testimony, Teenage Activists, Rescue), an educational site for children and teenagers, and hands-on support for sanctuaries and rescued animals.

If you want to support the association directly, you can do so through their support page or by shopping in their store.
