Welcome to the Vote Pro-Animal page

This page lists national, regional, state, and local organizations in the USA that have legislative activist networks and regularly provide legislative alerts on animal-related issues. Depending on the information we obtain about a group, we will provide both contact information and a link to the group's web site or legislative section of the web site.

Groups might also provide any of the following information.

If you know of a group you want us to consider listing, or want to suggest a correction or change, please contact us at vote@coloradohumanevoters.org. We will also consider listing groups in the District of Columbia and U.S. territories, if we receive the necessary information.
We don't list groups that we can't check out, so a web site address is usually required.

Regional groups listed by region (none currently known)
