We are excited to announce that the animal rights and vegan community now has a wiki. The JFA Wiki is live at JusticeforAnimals.org. With this change, Justice for Animal's mission has expanded to providing a collaborative, encyclopedic, evidence-based body of knowledge useful for animal rights and vegan advocacy, and to those who just want to explore these topics.
The site already has lots of useful information, especially in providing talking points for replying to objections to animal rights and veganism. But a wiki takes an encyclopedic approach, which calls for articles on a wide range of related topics. For the JFA Wiki, this means topics that are useful for animal rights and vegan advocacy, as well as information that is useful for living a vegan lifestyle.
Our expanded mission and collaborative platform offer you a unique opportunity to contribute to the animal rights and vegan movement by lending your writing skills, your research skills, and your specialized knowledge. You also have a chance to grow with us and become a trusted contributor, moderator, or editor. We hope you will participate, and can't wait to see your contributions. To get started, see Help:Writing and Editing for the JFA Wiki.
We are using the same software platform as Wikipedia, and like Wikipedia, we allow anyone to author and edit content. Unlike Wikipedia, articles on this site will be moderated to ensure they are written without the prevailing assumption that exploiting animals is acceptable. And just to be clear Justice for Animals is an animal rights organization, not an animal welfare organization.
For those who have been using the site, existing content has been migrated to the new platform—articles that were in the Basics Section on the old site can now be found in the Beginner Listing, and those in the Objection Section are now in the Replies Listing.
