With over 65 percent of households having a pet, and Americans spending over $60 billion on them each year, it’s a proven statistic that Americans love animals. Public opinions consistently show we favor compassion for all animals. Animal welfare, rights, and protection is one of the most popular issue areas to which individual donors give, and is an area in which people working with rescue and nonprofit organizations are extremely passionate.

In Advocates for Animals, Lori Girshick not only provides a better understanding of the laws surrounding animal rights but looks at the nonprofit organizations and people who are making a huge difference in today’s growing animal protection community. These volunteers and organizations fill the gap in what laws, policies, practices, and services do not address for animal rights/protection. Through the personal reflections of 204 individuals who volunteer or work with animals in a wide range of circumstances we learn about their paths to involvement, what they do, what they hope to achieve, and how this has impacted their lives.

Many experts speak of the importance of protecting the rights of animals, and without human support, many animals face abuse, neglect, and suffering. Advocates for Animals invites you to join these efforts, enriching your own lives and living compassion in action toward animals.
Industry Reviews
In Advocates for Animals, Lori B. Girshick examines the ethical implications involved in ending animal suffering, the successes and setbacks of this rapidly expanding social justice movement, and the moral imperative for each of us to get involved with changing the world for animals in a way that works for us. Based on research with those on the frontlines, Girshick emboldens readers with valuable insight into the efforts to end the exploitation of animals. Girshick leaves no stone unturned, and there is no better guide than this tried and true activist to present this refreshing manifesto on this oft-undervalued social justice cause.
