animal advocacy

Promoting creature welfare

Animal advocacy is organized effort to protect animals from harm, improve their welfare, or secure rights on their behalf.

It ranges from reformist campaigns for humane treatment—better conditions in farms, labs, and shelters—to abolitionist positions that oppose all animal use.
