Since 1979, the Animal Legal Defense Fund has been the leader in the fight to win animals the legal protection they so desperately need — and deserve. Your generous support is vital to our continued success.
ALDF is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization and relies almost entirely on individual, tax-deductible contributions from caring members and donors like you. Someday soon, U.S courts will finally accept the evidence of science and common sense — and admit that animals are sentient individuals deserving of true, legal protection.
