TED is a global set of conferences curated by the American private non-profit
Sapling Foundation, formed to disseminate "ideas worth spreading."
Speciesism is a form of discrimination against animals used for food, clothing, experiments and entertainment.
Elissa Sursara is a popular actress and intelligent animal rights activist seeking to end Speciesism.
The ending of Speciesism is definitely an "idea worth spreading."
Sign this petition to show TED you want the issue of Speciesism discussed by the bright and dedicated activist Elissa Sursara.
We the undersigned wish to have actress and animal rights activist Elissa Sursara present a TED talk on Speciesism.
Speciesism is a form of racism and discrimination that sees billions of animals around the world subject to horrible cruelties and exploitation inside puppy mills, fur farms, marine parks, animal testing labs and factory farms.
Large corporations fool the public into believing animals are treated fairly and with love and consideration, while documentary film makers (time and time again) prove otherwise.
Documentaries such as Earthlings, Meet your Meat, Skin Trade, Food Inc and The Cove look deep into the secretive animal industries to expose their cruelties.
Activists and celebrities around the world have come together in unison to fight against these industries and educate the world about Speciesism.
We want to see Elissa Sursara, a leader in the movement, present a TED talk in favor of ending Speciesism.
