the roots of compassion collective is working non-stop on a new state-of-the-art website and online shop.
you probably remember we’ve only launched our current one about 1 1/2 years ago, but we’re not really happy with a few features and the current shop software is waaaaay out of date. so we decided to make a new one from scratch and throw in some cool new features.
there is still a bit work to be done, but hopefully we’ll be able to present our new roots of compassion home soon – so stay tuned!

2003 we started our website www.rootsofcompassion.org. In the beginning we had articles about veganism and animal rights / liberation, book reviews, interviews with bands, artists and activists as well as news on different topics.

The controversial pre-trial detention for a group of 9 austrian animal rights activists has been lifted today, following an order of the appelate court in vienna, austria.
Since the end of may the 9 activists (one had been released earlier) have been charged with “Forming a Criminal Organization,” under §278a StGB of the austrian penal code. The Appelate court explained that there is still a danger of commiting further crimes, but the pre-trial detention cannot be upheld if the expected penalties are in no relation to it.
The second reason for detention, danger of suppression of evidence is by law limited to two months, which have long expired.
The first activists have been set free already.
