Philosophy of Mossburn
Here
at Mossburn, our philosophy is that all life, whether
it is animal, insect, plant or human, is precious and
deserves to be treated with respect, care, kindness,
concern and empathy. We also appreciate the natural
order of the ecosystem and make intense efforts to operate
in complete harmony with our environment. On both a
personal and professional level, we diligently strive
to implement the best possible animal and human welfare
practices throughout our organisation and to spread
the vital message of animal welfare to our members,
donors, friends, colleagues and associates, as well
as to our local and worldwide communities.
Our first priority is always the quality of those lives in our care. All of us here at Mossburn thoroughly appreciate every financial and volunteer service contribution that we receive. 100% of every donation made to Mossburn is channelled directly into the care, accommodation, maintenance and improvement of our residents and animal-human welfare projects. A full disclosure of Mossburn's budget is viewable here. As is evident by viewing the statement of accounts, Mossburn operates at an economically prudent level. We also participate in beneficial trade agreements and endorsements whenever possible to decrease expenditures while still obtaining the best goods and services required for the well-being of our charges.
While
Mossburn does not support or condone any form of cruelty,
neglect or prejudice towards animals or humans, we are
aware that there are organisations in existence that
either incorporate such practices, such as animal testing
and mass-production farming, directly into daily operations
themselves or do business with organisations that perform
those careless and outdated acts. We also realize that
implementing alternative cruelty-free and environmentally-friendly
practices and, in essence, changing the operational
and economic structure of such an established organisation
(particularly large worldwide corporations), takes commitment,
time and money. At Mossburn, we do carefully research
the organisations with which we do business to ensure
that they are either currently cruelty-free and environmentally-friendly
or are actively taking steps to become cruelty-free
and environmentally-friendly companies. We welcome the
opportunity to spread the message of animal, human and
environmental welfare and to support the efforts of
these organisations on their way to sound humane and
environmental business practices.
