Animal Advocacy Organizations

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is an international nonprofit charitable organization based in Norfolk, Virginia, with affiliates in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, India, and the Asia-Pacific Region. Founded in 1980, PETA is dedicated to establishing and defending the rights of all animals. PETA operates under the simple principle that animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment. PETA educates policymakers and the public about animal abuse and promotes kind treatment of animals.
Mercy For Animals (MFA) is a national 501(c)(3) non-profit animal advocacy organization. Founded in 1999 and over 12,000 members strong, MFA works to create a society where animals are treated with the respect and compassion they so rightly deserve.
Farm Sanctuary: www.farmsanctuary.org
Farm Sanctuary works to end cruelty to farm animals and promotes compassionate living through rescue, education and advocacy. We envision a world where the violence that animal agriculture inflicts upon people, animals and the environment has ended, and where instead we exercise values of compassion.
