Philosophy and activism
AFOP opposes the exploitation of all humans and animals and campaigns to raise awareness of suffering, cruelty and inequality. In 2010, the organisation managed to persuade three retailers to stop selling Foie Gras, the fatty liver of ducks and geese. With a combination of both online and offline campaigning, AFOP urges important decision makers to enact change to improve the lives of animals and humans. In January 2011, AFOP submitted evidence to the United Kingdom's Parliamentary Science Committee in opposition to the proposed building of the UKCMRI laboratory in Camden, London. In February 2011, the organisation campaigned against fashion giant LVMH to persuade them to stop using animal fur. The organisation has also campaigned to stop the Nova Scotia seal hunt in Canada by sending over 2000 emails to the Premier and Lieutenant Governor of the Canadian province. Canadian Senator Mac Harb offered his thanks to the organisation for the campaign.
According to Action for our Planet’s website, the organisation ‘‘does not want to force specific views on to others, it merely presents the issues and combines this information with plausible solutions for change.’’
Supporters
Action for our Planet has a large online presence on the social networking site Twitter and has celebrity supporters including Heather Mills, The Barbi Twins and Joshua Katcher.
