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.
