Aloha and welcome.  Thank you for visiting our new website!

Animal Advocate Inc. was formed in December 2005  –  we now have a whole new look!  We hope you like the clean, contemporary look of the website, and that you will find it easy to navigate.

We have also updated the website’s content, and have added new areas to highlight some of our recent work on behalf of animals.  Or, take a look back at our previous work on subjects ranging from cruel confinement of “pet” animals, to contaminated meat and the degradation of our food supply, to the issue of backyard slaughter and the consumption of dog meat here in Hawaii.  You can click on any of the “Categories” listed along the right side of this page, to view our many posts, articles, etc.

Mahalo,

Animal Advocate Inc.
Honolulu, Hawaii
