The Organization ISAR, the first organization in the world to use the term Animal Rights in a corporate name, was founded in 1959 to expose and end the injustice of the exploitation of animals and the suffering inflicted on them. ISAR believes that because of their sentient nature, animals have rights that are denied them in law and daily life.
Animals share more than the planet with humans.
Like us, they are capable of knowing pain, fear and other suffering. We are candid about our goals, and we are tenacious in their pursuit. The Abolitionist Harvard University's Office of Government and Community Affairs in 1982 sponsored an in-depth study and analysis of the animal rights movement including its goals and strategies. They are, however, also the most diligent, tactical and clear thinking. ISAR is probably the most 'hard core' of all antivivisection groups.
