Animal Care New River Valley
NRV-CARE is an official student organization at Virginia Tech, though we operate completely autonomously of the university. NRV-CARE is not affiliated with any other animal rights group, though we often team up with other groups for protests and campaigns. Level of involvement varies widely from person to person, and participants do not always work on every campaign, nor agree on every issue or tactic.
Humans have arbitrarily, irrationally, and maliciously drawn a line that puts ourselves above other animals so that we may reap the benefits of the exploitation permitted by this arrangement. Similarly, we recognize that the line between companion animals, specifically dogs and cats, and nonhumans raised for food, is similarly arbitrary.
Nonhuman animals have certain interests that should be considered by humans. Most prominent among these are the interests to be free of suffering, confinement, and death. NRV-CARE works to insert these interests into the social contracts that govern human behavior. Specifically, we expose, challenge, and fight human behavior that unnecessarily tramples on the interests of nonhumans.
