Are you looking to take a break from the screen during self-isolation? PETA’s got you covered: get out your crayons, paint, or any other medium of your choice and get arty with these beautiful anti-speciesism colouring pages!

The late River Phoenix was not only a supremely talented actor and musician but also a compassionate person who cared deeply for animals. When he was just 17 years old, he wrote this beautiful lyric:

“Run to the rescue with love, And peace will follow.”

River’s legacy of kindness lives on through the other members of the Phoenix family, many of whom are committed animal rights activists in their own right.

Each animal on this colouring page represents those who are typically exploited for experimentation, dissection, food, and clothing. PETA’s mission is to remind the world that animals are not ours to use – not as test tubes, not for a meal, and not for jumpers or shoes.

Keep Your Kids Busy, Too

We also have awesome free colouring sheets that include tips on being a superhero for cats and dogs and that remind kids to treat pigeons with care. Don’t forget to share them with your friends and family so they can learn, too!
