Let us explore the origin and development of a Shining World Hero Award recipient and his organization. In 1983, Dr. Katz founded Californians for Responsible Research, which sued the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for not enforcing legislation meant to regulate the care of laboratory animal-people. Ultimately, UC Berkeley received a cease-and-desist order from the USDA and was fined US$12,000 for violating the Animal Welfare Act. Subsequently, Californians for Responsible Research was renamed In Defense of Animals (IDA). Its avowed mission is “To defend animals, humans, and the environment from abuses and exploitation, and to foster peace between all life. We advocate for changes in laws, human behavior, and enlightenment in the need to protect lives, advance rights, improve welfare, and steward environmental protection.” In 1985, IDA staged its first peaceful protest for animal-people in front of the Primate Center at the University of California, Davis. Another significant achievement was helping to derail a five-year commercial contract with the government of South Africa to slaughter more than 30,000 Cape fur seal-people annually. As Dr. Katz became more well-known and his organization grew, they took on bigger projects and expanded their kindness to animal-people around the globe. In 2010, Supreme Master Ching Hai presented Dr. Katz with the Shining World Hero Award and humbly contributed US$10,000 to IDA to further its praiseworthy work for animal-folk. Sadly, Dr. Katz left this Earth on March 24, 2021, at the age of 86. He was a vegan for more than 30 years and said he found fulfillment in “fighting for the rights, welfare, and habitats of other species.” But beyond that, he aspired to spread love and oneness among all beings. IDA asks people to abide by the essential tenets of the Guardian Credo that he penned: Animal-people are not our property, and we are not their owners. We must widen our circle of justice and compassion beyond the human species to include animal-people. As guardians of our animal-companions, we ensure that their physical and emotional needs are satisfied and that our commitment to them is lifelong. 讓我們來探討一位光耀世界英雄獎得主及其組織的起源與發展。一九八三年，卡茨醫師創立了「加州負責任研究」，該組織起訴美國農業部（ＵＳＤＡ）未執行旨在規範對實驗室動物族人照顧的立法。最終，加州柏克萊分校收到美國農業部停止令，並因違反《動物福利法》被罰款一萬兩千美元。 「加州負責任研究」隨後更名為「捍衛動物」（ＩＤＡ）。其公開明言的使命是「捍衛動物、人類和環境免受虐待和剝削，並且促進所有生命之間的和平。我們倡導改變法律和人類行為，並在保護生命、促進權利、改善福利和保護環境方面進行必要的啟蒙。」 一九八五年，ＩＤＡ在加州大學戴維斯分校靈長類動物族人中心前舉行首次為動物族人舉辦的和平抗議活動。另一項重大成就是幫助遏止與南非政府簽訂的一項為期五年的商業合約，即每年要屠宰三萬多名南非毛皮海豹族人。隨著卡茨醫師的知名度越來越高，他的組織不斷壯大，他們承擔起更大的計畫，將他們的仁慈擴展到全球的動物族人。 二○一○年，清海無上師頒發卡茨醫師光耀世界英雄獎，並謙誠捐贈一萬美元予ＩＤＡ進一步推動其為動物族群所做的值得讚揚的工作。不幸地，卡茨醫師離世於二○二一年三月廿四日，享年八十六歲。他持純素三十多年，據說他在「為其他物種的權利、福祉和棲息地而戰」中尋得滿足。但除此之外，他還渴望在眾生中傳播愛與合一。 ＩＤＡ要求人們遵守他所寫《守護者信條》的基本原則：動物族人不是我們的財產，我們也不是他們的擁有者。我們必須將正義和慈悲範圍擴大超越人類物種，包含動物族人。作為動物族人同伴的守護者，我們要確保他們的身體和情感需求得到滿足，並確保我們對他們是終其一生的承諾。 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6_a6zEpgC0
