Credence consists of an international network of people with varying beliefs and backgrounds. While all of us share the same goal — advancing the interests of animals — some intellectual tension exists on how best to pursue it. Unless specifically stated, then, the views expressed in the entries below are those of the individual Credence associate, not of Credence as an organisation. At Credence, we value diversity of opinion and believe that a sincere expression of contrasting views can help achieve intellectual and ethical progress.
