About Animal Ashram:
There is a oneness of all life. We at Animal Ashram have a profound love of nature, animals, humans and of all life-forms. We believe that animals are not ours to eat, experiment on, to be used for entertainment, to be killed for their fur and skin or be exploited or abused in any way. All animals suffer pain as well as fear and experience a range of emotions and feelings. They all have unique personalities and should be respected as the individuals they indeed are.
