The Animal Bill of Rights

Our aspirational Animal Bill of Rights provides context and guidance as we reach our goals.

  • The Right of animals to have their interests represented in court and safeguarded by the law without impediments.

  •  The Right of animals to have their status recognized under the law as living, feeling beings capable of a wide range of positive and negative experiences.

  •  The Right of animals to be protected under the law from exploitation and cruelty.

  • The Right of animals in the wild to self-determination and an environment that allows them to engage in behavior natural to their species.
  • The Right of animals under human care to have their species-specific and individual needs fulfilled to maximize their physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
  • The Right of animals subject to criminal acts to be legally recognized as crime victims.
