Lifeforce is a non-profit Vancouver based ecology organization that was formed in 1981 to raise public awareness of the interrelationship between people, animals, and the environment. We promote animal rights and ecological responsibility. In order to develop a non-violent society we must extend our circle of compassion to include all sentient creatures with whom we share this planet. We are based in Canada but our work has no boundaries.

As part of Lifeforce's work, we have developed a new concept called "Health Rights". This concept reinforces the basic principle that all sentient beings -- human and non-human -- are entitled to a healthy life. Unethical, unnecessary scientific experiments using "animal models" (taking healthy animals and inflicting on them human diseases and injuries) are a violation of Health Rights. We support the study of naturally-occurring maladies through research that is conducted humanely and is scientifically justifiable. more... See more text
