The purpose of these lists is to provide open channels where news, ideas, philosophies, and concerns can be exchanged freely.
Debates are likely to occur as well as new friendships, common projects and associations.
The underlying premise behind these mailing lists is that information is fundamental to forming sound beliefs as well as to making sound decisions. AR-News is an international public source of information about animal rights. It is designed to provide animal advocates with an opportunity to discuss the many differences in animal rights theory and practice which are found within the AR movement. The AR-Views list is a forum for discussions within the community of animal rights advocates. It will not be granted to those whose agenda is to oppose, combat, defeat, or ridicule the central idea of the Animal Rights Movement.
