Western Mass. Animal Rights Advocates’ vision, mission, and campaigns

Welcome to WMARA!

WMARA’s Vision is to end the suffering of all animals through activism, education, legislation, networking, and collaboration.

WMARA’s mission is to unite animals rights advocates in Western Mass. for the purposes of helping both the animals and ourselves. Members foster, encourage, plan, and take peaceful actions in both education & legislation. Extensive community awareness is provided through presentations, demonstrations, workshops, literature and hands-on opportunities. Animal-friendly legislations is also promoted with ongoing assistance of MSPCA, MA HSUS, and other animal rights groups’ representatives. WMARA also provides ongoing support, unity, and help to all members.

A puppy mill store called The Puppy Place is now in Springfield, so WMARA has submitted an ordinance to ban the retail sale of dogs & cats in Springfield (would not affect breeders). The hearing will not be until after the November 2019 elections. Please urge the Springfield City Council to support it!

WMARA has four ongoing campaigns:

The Big E - We educate the public about the inhumane treatment of animals in entertainment, especially the wild animals, at this 17-day long annual event in West Springfield.

The Puppy Place - We protest this puppy mill store monthly. They have been selling sick puppy mill dogs for many years and have a lengthy list of state violations, yet have been allowed to stay open. We hope that Springfield will pass our ordinance to ban the retail sale of dogs and cats.

Circuses with animals - Whenever a circus with animals is in the area we educate the public at protests, petitions, and letters to the editor. The Melha Shrine Circus, which had elephants and tigers, is no more, thanks to such efforts.

Plant-based diets - We table and host film screenings to educate the public about the horrific facts behind the meat, dairy, egg, and fish industries. We go beyond the cruelty and point out the health and environmental benefits of a plant-based diet. We try to emphasize the environmental devastation we are experiencing due to such industries, as well as the many deadly diseases related to animal consumption.

We also hold at least one fur protest in the winter at The Holyoke Mall.
