We, the Animal Advocates of South Central PA, created it for you to use as a compass on your path towards a kinder, healthier life. We are an organization promoting a conscious and compassionate lifestyle which can be summed up in one word: Veganism. It isn’t like other vegan guides, though.

We will lightly touch on the reasons to go vegan (but we highly suggest doing research elsewhere!) and how to make those changes. We will cover everything from where to go out to eat on a Friday night, to what cruelty-free body care brands to check out, and everything in between. We would like to thank you for considering this impactful, wonderful lifestyle, and hope we can assist you on your journey! After exploring this guide, please visit our website, which has many helpful resources, including local restaurant lists, blog articles, and links for further reading. www.animaladvocatesscpa.com Follow us on social media to see what we are up to! “Do the best you can until you know better.

  • Recommended Reading About Animal Issues
    Recommended Reading about Animal Issues Empty Cages: Facing the Challenge of Animal Rights by Tom Regan, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, North Carolina State University in Raleigh Described as the best introduction to animal rights ever written, this book dispels the image of animal rights advocates perpetrated by the media, unmasks the fraudulent rhetoric of humane treatment favored by animal exploiters, and explains why existing laws function to legitimize institutional cruelty. Regan, a leading philosopher in the animal rights movement, intends the book as a popular companion to his scholarly treatments of the subject. Animals as Persons: Essays on the Abolition of Animal Exploitation by Gary L. Francione, Professor of Law. Rutgers University Law School A prominent philosopher of animal rights law and ethical theory, Francione is known for his criticism of animal welfare laws, his abolitionist theory of animal rights, and his promotion of veganism and nonviolence as the baseline principles of the abolitionist movement. In this collection, Francione advances the most radical theory of animal rights to date. Unlike Peter Singer, Francione maintains that we cannot morally justify using animals under any circumstances. Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy by Matthew Scully One of the best books ever written on the subject of animal welfare. Scully, a journalist and former speechwriter for President George W. Bush. investigated several major animal industries, including hunting, whaling, and factory farming. He asks penetrating questions and shows the logical and political inconsistencies used to defend cruel industries. The Food Revolution: How Your Diet Can Help Save Your Life and Our World by John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America What can we do to help stop global warming, feed the hungry, prevent cruelty to animals, be healthier, and live longer?
