Watch what happens when animal activists try to comfort and give water to cows headed to slaughter. These people are on the front lines of The Save Movement. The Save Movement's mission is to spread the idea that we all have a moral duty to bear witness at animal vigils outside slaughterhouses and end animal agriculture. We are a love-based, global network of chapters that defines itself through a Tolstoyan and Gandhian approach to grassroots activism and social change. We take an anti-speciesist stance and are against all forms of discrimination and oppression. We return love for hate, and believe that ending violence and oppression must be done with compassion and kindness for all. We engage in nonviolent communication as a unique and powerful process for inspiring compassionate connection and action. One of their main objectives is mobilizing people to become grassroots activists and organizers with expanding team leadership, a concept informed by the work of Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers. The theory of momentum driven organizing suggests mobilizing at least 3.5% of the population in nonviolent direct action and persuading majority public opinion for there to be major progress in the goals of achieving social change. Co-Founder Anita Krajnc describes how the Save Movement came to be: "The Animal Save Movement started in December 2010 with the inception of Toronto Pig Save after I adopted Mr. Bean, a dog. On our morning walks, we witnessed sad and frightened pigs en route to a nearby slaughterhouse in downtown Toronto. Six months later, we made a promise to the pigs to hold a minimum of three animal vigils each week to bear witness. We use a love-based approach to community organizing informed by Leo Tolstoy and Mahatma Gandhi. The aim is to hold an animal vigil at every slaughterhouse. Through the power of communities not looking away from animal suffering but coming close and trying help we can close all slaughterhouse and build an eco-friendly vegan world."
