Organizations such as these provide a voice for the voiceless and advocate on behalf of animals to offer them protection and to help end violence against them.

Animal Protection Institute
We are a national animal advocacy organization, dedicated to protecting animals from cruelty and exploitation. Whether in the courts, the legislatures, or in the ballot box, API's team of experts work closely with individual advocates and form coalitions with other national or state animal advocacy groups to focus national attention on the abuse of animals anywhere in the country.

Animal Legal Defense Fund
We are an animal law organization working nationally to defend animals from abuse and exploitation. As pioneers in the field of animal law, we've blazed the trail for tougher laws, tougher enforcement, and more humane treatment of animals in every corner of American life.

Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund
We are dedicated to the conservation and protection of gorillas and their habitat in Africa and committed to promoting continued research on their threatened ecosystems and education about their relevance to the world in which we live. In collaboration with government agencies and other international partners, we also provide assistance to local communities through education, training and economic development initiatives.

Fund for Animals
The Fund for Animals was founded by renowned author and humanitarian Cleveland Amory. Our motto, 'We speak for those who can't,' illustrates a mission of speaking out against egregious forms of animal cruelty. With regional offices and qualified and dedicated personnel, we focus on education, legislation, litigation, and hands-on care.
