A MEMBERSHIP ASSOCIATION FOR ANIMAL PROTECTION
Not by Species, but by Need. Join the Campaign to Protect Animal Life & Liberty
Sentient animals share with us the basic needs for life and liberty, and yet the declarations and conventions naming those needs as fundamental have thus far reserved their protection to human beings on the basis of species rather than on the basis of the needs themselves. Join us as we work to extend those protections to animals across the nation.

Previous Campaigns

"Writing is unfortunately like painting; for the creations of the painter have the attitude of life, and yet if you ask them a question they preserve a solemn silence. And when they have been once written down they are tumbled about anywhere among those who may or may not understand them: and, if they are maltreated or abused, they have no parent to protect them."
