Animal Defenders International
Animal Defenders International (ADI) is a major international campaigning group, with offices in London and Los Angeles, who lobby to protect animals on issues such as animals in entertainment and their use in experiments; worldwide traffic in endangered species; factory farming; pollution and conservation.
The organization has been involved with several international animal rescues, funding both the relocation and rehoming of circus lions, tigers, chimpanzees and other animals and has become a major force for animal protection, succeeding through its undercover investigations in securing legal protection for animals.
ADI is part of the National Anti-Vivisection Society group (NAVS) which comprises ADI, the NAVS, the world’s first anti-vivisection group, and the Lord Dowding Fund for Humane Research, which supports the replacement of animals in research through funding alternatives.

“All that is told of the sea has a fabulous sound to an inhabitant of the land, and all its products have a certain fabulous quality, as if they belonged to another planet, from seaweed to a sailor’s yarn, or a fish story. In this element the animal and vegetable kingdoms meet and are strangely mingled.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The nation which forgets its defenders will be itself forgotten.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
