Edgar’s Mission Inc. is a not for profit organisation that seeks to create a humane and just world for humans and non-humans. We will endeavour to achieve this by education, advocacy and empowerment. Looking to spark the flame of compassion inherent within us all, raising human consciousness and challenging long held beliefs that have enslaved animals, with the view to prevent animal cruelty and suffering, abuse and neglect, preventing exploitation and protecting native animals and their environments.
We will do this by acting to the highest ethical standards we know through non-violent means emulating Gandhi’s words “We must be the change we wish to see”.

Few Australians are aware that the vast majority of animals in human care in this country – some 500 million ‘food’ or ‘production’ animals – have been excluded from the protection of our animal welfare legislation.
In particular, millions of farmed animals daily endure lives of abject misery in factory farms. Barely able to move they endure acts of cruelty that would be illegal if they were your cat or dog. Imagine a life without sunshine, without freedom, without being able to socialize, without hope … Welcome to the ‘life’ of a factory-farmed animal.
How has this happened? As custodians of this planet, we have been guilty of playing favourites. We have designated some animals friends and some animals food. Yet they are no different. All share the same ability to suffer, the same need and desire to experience life, for it to have joy, meaning and purpose.
Edgar’s Mission provides you with the opportunity to meet these animals, read their stories and decide which life they need and deserve.
