Friends of Animals

Friends of Animals (FoA) is a non-profit, international animal advocacy organization that has been advocating for the rights of nonhuman animals since 1957. With a focus on freeing animals from cruelty and institutionalized exploitation, FoA has grown from its origins as a low-cost spay/neuter program to encompass critical habitat preservation, wildlife protection, and veganism. Through legal initiatives, policy and legislative outreach, and the operation of sanctuaries such as Primarily Primates, FoA is at the forefront of providing sanctuary for animals that have been victims of exploitation in the exotic pet trade, research, and entertainment industries.

In addition to its work in the United States, FoA has also undertaken important projects in Africa, including the Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Project in The Gambia and efforts in Senegal to establish and maintain recovery programs for endangered species. FoA's advocacy work extends to addressing the major contributors to climate change, such as deforestation, animal agriculture, and fossil fuels. By partnering with Senegal National Parks, FoA is also working to establish water-efficient gardens as a sustainable source of nutrition for local communities. Through its various initiatives and achievements, FoA continues to push for change and make a positive impact on the lives of animals worldwide.
