Welcome
Animal Defenders International was founded in 1990 as the animal welfare, conservation, and youth wing of the National Anti-Vivisection Society, and has now grown into a major international campaigning group in its own right, lobbying on issues such as animals in circuses; worldwide traffic in endangered species; vegetarian/vegan diet; factory farming; and pollution. ADI has emerged as an adult as well as youth group and is involved in international animal rescues as well as educational work on animal welfare, conservation and the environment.
Browse our site to find out more about Animal Defenders International and the campaigning we are involved in.
As our name suggests, ADI's mission is to educate, create awareness and alleviate animal suffering as well as to safeguard animal species and conserve their environment.
Animal Defenders International group comprises ADI, NAVS and LDF, working for the protection of animals from abuse and suffering all over the world and promoting scientific non-animal research to replace unreliable, unethical and unnecessary testing on animals.
Our undercover investigations, established research department, political lobbying expertise and long history of success and support allow ADI to take precedence of the animal welfare lobby. Here are some of ADI's campaigns that address today's animal welfare issues.
