Dharma Voices for Animals (DVA) was founded because the Buddhists were not closely following the teachings of the Buddha regarding respect to all forms of life, and not giving voice to the suffering of animals. Bob Isaacson who helped in establishing DVA is an American human rights lawyer and spent much of his professional life in defending and saving two legged people from the death penalty.
