Prevention

Because we recognize that animal suffering is due in part to ignorance or apathy, we advocate strongly for animal welfare to create laws on both city and state level that ensure the protection of animal life. Beginning in 1888 with a mandate to improve the plight of horses and mules treated poorly in New Orleans, we now focus on preventing the needless suffering of all domesticated animals.

That is why we continue to advocate strongly for the abolishment of barbaric “sports,” such as cockfighting and hogdogging; and we will continue to work on a state level to bring dogfighters to justice.

Even though Hurricane Katrina, August 29, 2005, temporarily altered our infrastructure, we continue to rebuild and  remain on the frontlines helping animals; focusing on our mission dedicated to the elimination of animal suffering. In the face of devastation, we are re-building and continue our work to eradicate animal cruelty and improve the human-animal bond.
