About us

ARK is formed around the basic principle that our animal brethren are deserving of rights and that those rights should be upheld. We believe that humankind has grown apathetic in regards to how animals are treated and promote a more mindful approach to all sentient beings.

"Animal rights is the most unextreme philosophy I can imagine. It is about nonviolence. It is about compassion. It is about not harming and not causing suffering and not killing when we don't need to. That is it...It is really, truly that simple." 

 Stephanie Ernst 

Formed in 2012 the Kinship started life as a small group who promoted animal welfare issues.

Today ARK is now concentrating on keeping abreast of the changing tides in relation to animal rights and undertaking wildlife rescue and rehabilitation within the Ards Peninsula.
