About Advocacy for Animals

We present Advocacy for Animals as a source of information, a call to action, and a stimulus to thought regarding humanity’s relationship with nonhuman animals. We support worldwide efforts to ensure the humane treatment of animals, to promote their well-being and conservation, to develop our scientific understanding of their nature, and to protect and restore their habitats and the natural environment at large.
