NATIONAL JUSTICE FOR ANIMALS WEEK

Learn more about how you can make a difference in protecting animals locally and beyond.

The Animal Legal Defense Fund’s National Justice for Animals Week is an annual event dedicated to raising public awareness around crimes committed against animals. This includes learning what criminal cruelty is under the law, and how we can all work to build stronger laws, prevent criminal cruelty, hold abusers accountable, and vindicate the interests of animal cruelty victims.

TAKE ACTION

Here are actions you can take to raise awareness about animal crime victims.

Familiarize yourself with your state animal protection laws.

Have a plan: Identify which agencies in your community are responsible for responding to criminal animal cruelty — and know how to report to them if you witness a crime against an animal.

Sign up for ALDF’s action alerts so you can take action on national and local animal issues.

Don’t just read the news — make it! Write a letter to the editor about an issue involving animals in your area.
