Animal Protection League of NJ is dedicated to eliminating animal suffering and exploitation by promoting respect for animals.
To reach this goal, we
Educate to increase public awareness of the institutionalized and legalized abuse of animals
Encourage activism in our own communities to end the cruelty
Promote lifestyle changes to reduce and eliminate the suffering
Issues of concern include testing on animals, the killing of wildlife for management or sport, the fur industry, animals raised as food for human consumption, animals in entertainment, companion animal overpopulation and more.
APLNJ, established in 1983, is a community based, nonprofit, educational organization working toward a peaceful, nonviolent co-existence with our earthly companions both human and nonhuman. Through our programs of promoting responsible science, ethical consumerism, and environmentalism, we advocate change that greatly enhances the quality of life for animals and people, and protects the earth.
APLNJ maintains a centrally located administrative office. The director, office staff and dedicated volunteers enable us to keep abreast of and address issues throughout the state in a timely manner.
