"If we are to teach compassion for all life in this world, and if we are to carry
on a real campaign against cruelty, and against the destruction of our
environment, we have to begin with reaching children."

ABOUT US & OUR MISSION
The vast number of animals suffering on this planet due to outdated notions, ignorance and greed must, as Jane Goodall says, be overcome. It must not be tolerated. It is no myth that animals feel deeply. It’s also not anthropomorphism. It’s real. Humans must rethink their treatment of animals and revamp their entire view of what is in the best interest of animals if we ever hope to restore the animal kingdom to its optimal and rightful place on this planet that we all share. Through this website, and through education, inspiration and the sharing of information, we hope to play a vital role toward that end. Our motto: All life matters.

With that in mind, one of the best places to nurture the kind of change our world needs, is involving, teaching, and inspiring children. FOR ALL THE ANIMALS offers paid positions for school age children who can research, investigate and write about animals, nature, and the environment. We also want young artists, filmmakers and photographers to apply.
We're seeking to hire children from around the world for paid positions as writers/researchers and investigators. We will work with our team of young writers to teach them solid principles of journalism, writing and investigating. We want them to not only learn, but to teach others about what they discover. We are not about teaching children what to think. We are about teaching children how to think. Learning to love nature and live compassionately is woven throughout our mission. Our readers will have a unique and wonderful opportunity to see the world through the eyes of children; they are our best hope for a better future.
We also want to introduce children to the many animal related fields available around the world that need compassionate and passionate people.

“If I had influence with the good fairy, who is supposed to preside over the christening of all children, I should ask that her gift to each child in the world be a sense of wonder so indestructible that it would last throughout life, as an unfailing antidote against the boredom and disenchantment of later years, the sterile preoccupation with things artificial, and the alienation from the sources of our strength.” -- Rachel Carson, The Sense of Wonder
"Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is--whether
its victim is human or animal--we cannot expect things to be much better in this world... "
