About the Organisation
Founded in 1979 by attorneys active in shaping the emerging field of animal law, the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) has blazed the trail for stronger enforcement of anti-cruelty laws and more humane treatment of animals in every corner of American life. ALDF defines animal law as the combination of statutory and case law that relates to, or has an impact on nonhuman animals.
