List of animal rights groups
This List of animal rights groups consists of groups in the animal rights movement. Such animal rights groups work towards their ideals, which includes the viewpoint that animals should have equivalent rights to humans, such as not being "used" in research, food, clothing and entertainment industries, and seek to end the status of animals as property.[1] (Cf. Animal welfare.)
