EFFA (Equal Footing For Animals) - founded in 2009 - is both a belief system, and an organization that promotes this belief system. The purpose of EFFA is to spread the truth about what we believe should be the relationship between humans and animals, to encourage the good treatment of animals, and to promote vegetarianism. We started EFFA because we couldn't find any religion/philosophy that gave a 100% satisfactory explanation of our current interaction with the animal world, none that saw this interaction quite the way we see it.
