The Body of Animal Rights Campaigners seeks to exclude, as far as possible and practical, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.
BARC's primary goal is to educate the UCF student body on the unnecessary cruelty that exists in such industries as factory farming, circuses, and clothing. We do this through:
We also have secondary campaigns aimed at bringing more vegan food options to UCF, and removing the Shriners' Circus from their annual visit to the UCF Arena.
BARC has been a registered UCF student organization and member of Progressive Council since 2003, and has 250 registered members.
