animal activists
Wildlife protection campaigners
Animal activists are people who advocate for the rights, welfare, or protection of animals.
The term covers a wide spectrum—from those who campaign against factory farming or animal testing to radical groups that liberate animals from laboratories.
Animal activists protested outside the fur shop.
The phrase sometimes carries dismissive connotations when used by opponents.
