She founded @dswt which has rescued and raised more than 200 elephants and continues to do so. Rest In Peace Dame Daphne Sheldrick ❤️ #damedaphnesheldrick #dswt
  • If you disagree with the treatment of animals used for dissections, try opting out: 18 states including Oregon, California, and New York allow students to opt out of dissection!
  • Meet Harley Quinn Smith, an actress, animal rights activist, and a member of our Board of Directors. She is excited to work with Youth for the Voiceless as she too is a young adult looking to make the world a better place for animals.
