TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH EDUCATION & ACTION
CENTRAL OREGON PARTNERS for
ANIMAL KINDNESS (COPAK)

"May we be guided by our compassionate hearts rather than our cultural habits." Colleen Patrick-Goudreau
OUR MISSION
To foster awareness and increase compassion through education on the treatment of animals in rodeos and inspire the protection of animals used for human entertainment.
Through cultivating compassion and kindness, we aim to create a transformative impact on the lives of non-human animals and enhance the well-being of humans and their communities.
​Members of COPAK understand that increasing compassion for non-human animals positively impacts the human experience and safety in one's community. Conversely, the correlation between violence toward animals and violence toward humans is a well-documented and sobering reality.
United by a shared belief in the inherent goodness of people, the COPAK team holds hope that through education, we can raise awareness and foster compassion. In doing so, we aim to enrich the lives of non-human animals and humans.
