The League favours a systemic strategy in that it believes that speciesist ideology stems primarily from the political, economic and cultural structures of our societies.
Furthermore, the L.I.A. is inherently intersectional in its operations and recruitment and declares its solidarity with all social liberation movements. It therefore stands alongside all movements fighting against all forms of oppression and discrimination affecting sentient beings, human and non-human alike.
As a non-profit organisation, the League has legal personality, which is essential to its credibility. It can therefore take legal action to ensure the achievement of its statutory objectives and thereby assert its autonomy, transparency and independence.
It therefore aims to be a responsible partner with strong local roots and close ties to its members. It focuses on effective action.
The League carries out this action on a voluntary basis. No special benefits of any kind are granted to administrators or holders of specific positions.
Finally, it also aims to centralise and unify national and/or international anti-speciesist associations that wish to join it.
The billions of non-human animals, both terrestrial and marine, who are mistreated, exploited and sacrificed in an atrocious, premature and unjust manner every day around the world compel us to act.
The International Anti-Speciesist League is dedicated to responding to this urgent call.
It aims for nothing less than the abolition of speciesism in order to restore the dignity, respect and essential rights of all sentient beings sharing our planet Earth, which should never have been taken away from them.
The association was founded in 2025 in Brussels, Belgium, by Elaine COLLARD and Alain SCARCEZ.
