Why don't we hide our faces when rescuing animals?
Accountability is central to our strategy.
Showing our faces and being open about all of our actions allows us to rescue animals and, crucially, talk about it.
We can post on social media and get press without the fear of being caught - because being caught is part of the design.
This allows the action to go beyond the life we save, to spur on the conversation about how we treat all animals, so that our actions will help more than just the animals we rescue. By handing ourselves in and accepting the legal consequences, we can take this conversation to a jury of our peers and have them determine whether it is wrong to save animals. Through this we show that the freedom of these animals is just as important as our own.
