Animal advocacy is the effort to promote the welfare and rights of animals. This movement seeks to protect animals from cruelty, exploitation, and neglect, ensuring they live in safe and humane conditions. Advocates work through various means, including education, legislation, and direct action, to raise awareness about issues such as factory farming, animal testing, and habitat destruction. Organizations involved in animal advocacy often focus on specific areas, such as wildlife conservation, animal rescue, or veganism. They aim to influence public policy and encourage individuals to adopt more compassionate lifestyles. By fostering a greater understanding of animal sentience, advocates strive to create a more just world for all living beings.
