Promoting Animal Welfare With A
National Animal Protection Movement

My name is Charlie Currin, and I wholeheartedly welcome you here, as we begin the important and urgent task of stopping animal cruelty in our country. I truly believe, we humans, can join together to do what is right and compassionate for all our innocent, sentient creatures. We, together, can do this… We, together, must do this.

I am a recently retired life-long musician… a pianist, organist, vocalist, conductor, performer and teacher…
and now fully devoted to joining the country together to end animal cruelty. All animal cruelty.

I was raised on a tobacco farm in North Carolina… full of amazing animals. Lots of dogs and cats, cows and pigs, horses, ponies and mules, sheep and lambs, chickens, and opossums… pigeons, birds, bats… and occasionally coyotes, snakes, and bears. Ponds with ducks, geese, and swans… full of fish, turtles, frogs, and bullfrogs… Even our Pastor kept his beehives on our farm.

Early on, my sister, brother, and I convinced our father not to kill our animals for food. He hesitantly agreed, with the urging of our mother, and these beautiful creatures lived out their lives being loved and cared for by all of us.

But I knew, even at an early age, this was not the norm for most animals…

Life went on… and I will never forget when my sister and I, now both living in NYC two blocks from each other, stayed on the phone together on November 19 of 2007, when “I Am an Animal” premiered on TV (HBO).  “I Am An Animal – The Story of Ingrid Newkirk and PETA” exposing the horrible truth of how animals were actually treated on factory farms and in animal experimentation labs, puppy mills, cat colonies, etc.

We couldn’t even speak during it as we were so sickened and shocked by what we were watching. I still vividly remember it now, 19 years later, like it was yesterday… and it has haunted me ever since… and I’ve never forgotten my huge desire to do something about animal cruelty and welfare… and how this documentary so profoundly affected me.

And now, with similar shows and social media, the ugly truth has really been exposed and many people are up in arms about the abuse… yet feel helpless as to what to do about it.

But we humans, coming together, can change this… AND WE WILL! I faithfully believe we can all come together across our country with a grassroots movement to end what is going on.  Our innocent, sentient animals deserve nothing less.

PLEASE help us spread the word and our website… PLEASE invite your family and friends to join us as a “friend of animals.”

PLEASE let ALL of us come together and change everything that is wrong with our broken system.
It is high time we do what is right for ALL animals.
