LinksFriends of Animals Friends of Animals, Inc. is an international, non-profit, membership organization, incorporated in the state of New York in 1957. FoA works to protect animals from cruelty, abuse and institutionalized exploitation. FoA's efforts protect and preserve animals and their habitats around the world. Their goal is to achieve an ethic of respect in people's relations with animals, wild and domestic, at home and abroad. Primarily Primates Primarily Primates, Incorporated is a non-profit sanctuary in Bexar County, Texas that operates to house, protect, and rehabilitate various non-native animals. The private refuge currently houses several hundred nonhuman animals, and, as the name implies, focuses primarily on caring for apes and monkeys. Many are cast-offs from the pet trade and biomedical research institutions. Individuals who have been accepted into the refuge include chimpanzees once used in space training and testing protocols by the United States Air Force and Oliver, a chimpanzee once paraded on television shows as the "humanzee" due to a habit of walking upright. Great Ape Standing & Personhood (GRASP) The members of GRASP are dedicated to providing research and support to the non-human great apes — Chimpanzees, Bonobos, Orang-utans, and Gorillas — who will be plaintiffs in pathbreaking court cases. By extension, we argue that the small apes would be covered as well. We carefully study the history of previous breakthrough court cases to see what works best and how to build on court decisions, positive and negative, to achieve results. Vegan Means VeganMeans is an informational website produced by Friends of Animals. Its main goals are to offer support and well-researched information that will benefit both experienced and aspiring vegans alike. |
