May this year bring much needed peace and hope to the entire planet and may it bring us even closer to a compassionate vegan world.?

you to a new fish rescue in Sonoma County, Friends of Phillip Fish Rescue.

Before and After Photos of Phillip

is a fish rescue, sanctuary, and advocacy group dedicated to fostering the connection between people and aquatic life through sharing the stories and vibrant personalities of rescued animals. Our rescue started with the first rescue of Philip. Philip was a pet store betta and like millions of his fellows, Philip was suffering from neglect and poor care. He was thin, pale, and missing most of his fins. The manager let Philip come home as a free “adoption” to give him a chance to recover. With a simple change in environment and care, Philip recovered from his neglect, and is still with us today.

?

Philip’s rescue has inspired us to rescue dozens more fish and we have recently decided to continue expanding our rescue, education, and advocacy efforts by become a registered 501(c)3 non-profit in 2021.?To learn more about supporting us and opportunities for adoption, please find us on social media (@friendsofphilip), , or

Hope's?presentation?for Acterra is titled?Sentience in the Sea.?In this presentation, we will dive deep into the world of fish, exploring the fishing industry, the environmental impacts of fishing, and the extensive scientific research confirming that fish are sentient individuals. Hope will discuss how our sentient sea cousins navigate complex lives, suffer pain, experience fear, feel joy, form friendships, and have individual personalities, preference, and emotions. We will learn who fish are and how we can help protect them and the oceans.
