WHO WE ARE
Animal Rights Initiative (ARI) is a 501(c)(3) organization based in the United States dedicated to conserving our natural biodiversity and ending animal suffering through a multifaceted approach. What makes us different is that we combine government, community and corporate outreach to achieve our goals of legislative protections and corporate policy changes. Because of the exponentiated risks of zoonotic illness transmission and excessive waste contributing to Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs), our focus is primarily on factory farms and breeding mills.
Animal use is deeply entrenched in human livelihoods; we are committed to staying flexible and pro-active to improve as many industries as we can in order to increase quality of life and reach biosecurity.
CURRENT CAMPAIGNS
We believe in reducing demand by making incremental, systemic changes while advocating for ethical consistency. We have single-issue campaigns throughout multiple systems that impact biodiversity.
Fur
Exceptionally unsustainable, inherently cruel to animals. Animals on fur farms are not covered by the Animal Welfare Act or Humane Slaughter Act.
Animals in Traveling Acts
Majestic animals endure a lifetime of captivity and forced performances.
Pet Sales
Animals suffer in breeding mills, in pet stores, and die prematurely in homes. Breeding mills are resevoirs for disease and contribute excessive waste.
Research
Bunnies, Chimps, Guinea pigs and more are subjected to painfully intrusive tests despite being rendered useless over 90% of the time.
We work with a vast network of biodiversity and environment protection organizations.
ARI is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our EIN is
87-3745633. Donations are tax-deductible.
