What is an Animal Ambassador?
Being an animal ambassador means fighting for animals. There are many ways to do this, and we’ll initially focus on cafeterias. Most animals are exploited and killed in connection with food production, so that’s where we can make the biggest impact.
Of course, you decide how much you want to get involved. It can be anything from sending one email to leading workshops or becoming active in the animal rights movement. You decide!
How can you get involved?
You can advocate or take action for animals in countless ways—you just need to find what fits you best. Dyrenes Alliance offers support, experience, and information. You'll join a community of young people who organize activities together and share knowledge, inspiration, and resources across Denmark.
Why join Animal Ambassadors?
There are many powerful reasons to fight for an vegan world. Here are three of the biggest:
The animals This is clearly the most important reason for us at Dyrenes Alliance. Animals like pigs., cows, chickens, fisk, mink and many others feel pain and joy, form bonds with one another, and have free will. These are some of the reasons why humans should never exploit animals for personal gain. Animals deserve freedom to live their lives naturally—without the looming threat of exploitation or slaughter whenever humans decide to use their bodies.
Health The plant-based diet (with minimal processed foods) is one of the healthiest dietspeople can follow. That’s why authorities worldwide have, over recent decades, recommended eating fewer animal products and far more vegetables, fruits, legumes, seeds, and nuts. It’s also been proven repeatedly that a plant-based diet can prevent chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer, and heart disease—and in some cases improve or even cure them. The way we keep animals also causes most of the zoonotic diseases that spread among humans.
ClimateMost of us are aware of the human-made climate crisis we face. Many have changed daily habits to be more climate-friendly—cycling or taking the bus more, buying second-hand, reducing plastic use. But did you know that agriculture is Denmark’s biggest emission industry, producing over 30% of CO2 emissions? The vast majority of that comes from animal agriculture. Beyond CO2, agriculture’s massive nitrogen output contributes to the death of marine life around Denmarkand pollutes groundwater.
