  • Redrover History Redrover (Formerly United Animal Nations) Is
    RedRover History RedRover (formerly United Animal Nations) is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization that was founded in 1987 by animal rights pioneer Belton P. Mouras. Based in Sacramento, California, Mr. Mouras led a small group of humane movement workers on a mission to protect animals globally and unify people for animals’ sake. In the beginning, United Animal Nations (UAN) responded to a wide range of animal issues, including: elephant poaching in Africa, pet overpopulation, horse slaughter, whaling, inhumane treatment of primates in research, animals left behind during natural disasters and a variety of other animal cruelty and abuse situations. From the late 80s through the 90s, it supported a ban for the use of carriage horses, humane treatment for animals in the entertainment industry, Fur Free Friday, Earth Day, dolphin-safe tuna, saving horses from the inhumane Premarin production industry, animal anti-cruelty rewards and much more. Through the mid-2000s, advocacy efforts continued for the elimination of animal abuse and reduction of suffering of animals used in entertainment, animals used in research, farm animals, wildlife and exotics. With new leadership came refined focus. Nicole Forsyth was hired as President and CEO in 2006, and she brought the vision of preventing animal abuse by building and fostering empathy and compassion in children toward animals. Although helping animals in immediate crisis, such as natural disasters, has been a mainstay of the organization and this continues today, The Zig Zag Memorial Reward Fund for cruelty cases, the Premarin Awareness Campaign, The My Dog is Cool Campaign and the Hogwash Award designed to bring awareness to abuse were discontinued over the years and proactive efforts to create lasting positive change expanded.

    Proceedings of the National Link Coalition 2012 Summit July 26, 2012 Doubletree Hotel Denver, Colorado Edited by Phil Arkow Held in conjunction with the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence conference Sponsored by ASPCA The Latham Foundation Proceedings of the 2012 National Link Coalition Summit Page 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The National Link Coalition Summit was held on July 26, 2012, at the Hilton Doubletree Hotel in Denver, Colo. The Summit had three purposes. It served as an opportunity for the National Link Coalition’s steering committee (the “G-10”) and several invited guests: to review the Coalition’s progress since its inception in 2008; to examine opportunities and new developments in the many disciplines affected by The Link; and to consider strategic plans that will help direct the Coalition’s activities for the next one to two years. The Summit ensued from two previous National Link Coalition meetings: the historic 2008 Town Meeting and Experts’ Summit in Portland, Maine, and the 2010 Roundtable also held in Denver. The 2012 Summit was made possible through generous financial support of the ASPCA and the Latham Foundation. We also want to thank the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, whose biennial national conference afforded the National Link Coalition a separate track with five significant training programs. In particular, we wish to express our appreciation to Gretchen Shaw and Maria Luisa O’Neill of the NCADV for their tireless work in helping to organize the meeting arrangements and for offering their services to the National Link Coalition. Proceedings of the 2012 National Link Coalition Summit Page 2 NOTE ON THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL LINK COALITION 2012 SUMMIT The participants in the Denver 2012 Summit hope that all readers will find workable ideas in these Proceedings.
