Edgar’s Mission Founder & Director.
“As a wee tot, I can still remember my mum whispering “be kind” as my hand stretched out to pet our family cat, Tiny. Sage words that still guide my hand and heart today, reminding that every being who treads, swims or flies upon this earth wants, needs and responds to kindness. Because although they may look different on the outside, inside we are all the same.”

Aka Dara Hayes: DJ, Producer and Animal Rights Activist.
"I have learnt that animals are just like us and just as deserving of kindness. Switching to a plant-based and cruelty-free lifestyle was the best decision I have ever made. It gives me a sense of purpose and direction. It is empowering to be a voice for the voiceless and to live a life that is causing no cruelty or harm to other beings. It costs nothing to be kind."

Director of Strategy, Animals Australia.
“Kindness to animals is a natural state of being and human expression. When we consciously peel back the layers of inherited thinking, we inevitably find the deepest, heartfelt desire to protect animals from harm. They are our ‘fellow travellers’, here to experience life on earth with us. It is no coincidence that their lives and our lives are enriched through the power and beauty of human kindness.”

Actor, Model and Animal Activist.
“In a world rife with violence and injustice, inaction is a choice we can ill afford to make. By embracing a vegan lifestyle and supporting my heroic friends at Edgar’s Mission, I choose each day to stand with the most innocent and defenceless among us. ”

Animal Rights Advocate & Eco Warrior.
“The need for kindness and compassion has never been greater. Raising awareness on the plight of all animals, not just those we call our pets, is something I have always felt passionately about. Animals bring so much joy, happiness and love to our everyday existence. Please respect them, appreciate them, but most of all, be kind to them.”

Founder, Sans Beast.
“I’ve always felt a connection to animals – yet it took me over 4 decades to realise that loving them meant not contributing to their exploitation. Looking into the eyes of any non human animal tells you all you need to know – there is an individual looking back, who wants to live. I will always pledge to be kind to animals + encourage everyone to open hearts + minds to do the same.”

Writer, Radio and TV Presenter.
“Our beautiful animal friends teach us so many important things - how to love fully, how to be present, how to take pleasure in the simple, perfect moments in life. Kindness towards them should be innate within us all.”

Authenticity Coach.
"It is my hope that more and more people will open up their hearts and treat all animals with the love, kindness and care they deserve. I truly believe that deep in our hearts, we know right from wrong. We know the truth of what actually matters. If more people stopped, listened and acted upon their hearts, they'd see the sentient being inside the animal and make different choices."
