Tom McPheeFounder, Executive DirectorOn Sunday September 4, 2005 I found myself beginning a new life's mission as I left Michigan for New Orleans and I began to document much of the animal rescue efforts immediately following Hurricane Katrina. What I discovered? An entire world I had no idea existed and one most people never pay attention to: the world of animal rescue. I found people risking everything, sometimes their lives, to rescue these animals, other peoples pets. The results of this observation? My multi award-winning documentary AN AMERICAN OPERA The Greatest Pet Rescue

This journey set me on a path to discover/uncover the many ways humans and non-human animals interact. With the World Animal Awareness Society & WA2S Films Team, I scour the World for stories to film and present about this relationship.
By producing compelling documentaries to be shared with the world and providing raw aggregate-able footage to educational institutions for further research, the World Animal Awareness Society will accomplish its vision of creating an opportunity for people to have greater human - animal awareness, and to witness our evolutionary arc in real time
This is not an animal rights initiative, this is simply about human animal awareness. The WA2S is not looking to take sides, but to understand what the sides are. The WA2S was created to be a free agent, looking for facts and stories about how humans interact with animals in contemporary society throughout the world. I am convinced I will be able to see our human evolutionary arc in real time.
I am frequently asked, whose side are you on? I always respond the same - "I am on the side of knowledge".
The mission of the World Animal Awareness Society is to focus a lens on a wide spectrum of interactions between humans and animals producing programs that illuminate complex relationships along the human-animal spectrum.
Please join me in building a powerful new voice as we share stories about human-animal evolution!
