ASAP Nova Scotia is an all-volunteer, non-profit animal rights organization, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. ASAP is committed to challenging the view that non-human animals exist for human use and raising their status beyond property, commodities, and/or things.

ASAP advocates for the right of animals to live free according to their own terms. Animals are complex beings who feel and think, yet are often denied natural choices and fundamental freedoms. Discrimination based on species must be challenged in the same way as other social justice issues, such as discrimination based on race, disability, religion, age, gender or sexual orientation.

To further this important social justice cause, ASAP advocates a vegan lifestyle as the most direct and practical way of achieving this goal. ASAP's actions include education, tabling with video footage, film screenings, free vegan food give-away, vegan potlucks and workshops, letter writing, petitions, boycotts and informational protests.  

"If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies or capitalists for the same reasons."
