Tapestry’s Religion Program

Animal activists have long neglected working with people of faith to bring change for animals (and thereby for the earth and human beings). This is a serious oversight given that every major religion teaches kindness, kinship across species, and respect for animals (and the earth). The Animals and Religion Website Project is hard at work to correct this oversight, engaging with scholars of faith, and doing the necessary research and writing to upload comprehensive, systematic teachings from core sacred texts about animals and our rightful relationship with animals. Given that more than three-quarters of humanity claims a religious tradition, this information, when accessed by activists, scholars, and people of faith around the world, will be a game-changer for animals (and their habitat).
