Cases & Campaigns
The Animal Legal Defense Fund is hard at work pushing the boundaries of the law to help ensure the lives and interests of animals everywhere are protected—from assisting with small town cruelty cases to filing suit against the federal government. We may be the only lawyers on Earth whose clients are all innocent.

Current Cases
Someday soon, U.S. courts will finally accept the evidence of science and common sense — and admit that animals are sentient individuals deserving of true, legal protection. Until then, ALDF continues to fight each day, winning the case against cruelty.
Victories
Since the very beginning, cutting-edge lawsuits have been at the heart of ALDF’s work to protect the lives of animals. ALDF has been at the forefront for almost three decades, pushing government agencies to do their jobs to protect animals and shining a national spotlight on issues like factory farming and dissection in schools.
