Changing The World: Our Own Francis Battista�s Amazing TEDx Talk

How does a group, or even one person, change the world? One of my mentors and Best Friends co-founder, Francis Battista, can tell you.

Thirty years ago, a ragtag crew of dreamers and visionaries moved to a canyon in the middle of nowhere. Most people thought they were crazy, but of course, they formed what is now Best Friends Animal Society.

In a powerful and important TEDx talk delivered in Reno, Nevada, Francis speaks about those early days and the power of a single citizen to change the world with �just an idea and commitment.�

This is truly a defining moment for anyone who fights for the survival and well-being of our nation’s pets. As you know, only about 25 percent of all pets are currently acquired through adoption. In order to change that, to truly Save Them All, we must elevate this cause beyond the animal welfare world.

TED is a wonderful organization dedicated to �ideas worth spreading.� We believe the no-kill movement and the ideas that can save the lives of millions of pets are certainly worthy of spreading.

Once you�ve watched the video, please share it with friends and loved ones through social media channels like Facebook and Twitter. Be sure to use #SaveThemAll and tag “Best Friends Animal Society” on Facebook and @bestfriends on Twitter.

Together, we can Save Them All.

Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is a nonprofit organization building no-kill programs and partnerships nationwide, all coordinated from our Kanab, Utah headquarters - the largest no-kill sanctuary for homeless companion animals.

At the core of our work is the dream that one day kindness will replace cruelty, and animals will no longer be destroyed because they are unwanted or imperfect. Spaying and neutering will be the rule for all pets and adoption from local animal shelters and rescues will be the first option for everyone. Those same shelters and rescues will have the knowledge and resources to help rehabilitate special-needs animals and find the right family for every animal.
