Why APLNJ?

Why support APLNJ when there are so many other animal protection organizations? What makes APLNJ different? What makes us necessary?

APLNJ performs a vital service to the animals in New Jersey by having a full-time office staffed by dedicated activists—quite an accomplishment for a small organization. In addition to our campaigns and projects, we handle calls from the public on a wide variety of issues. On any given day we can be found helping someone fight a proposed ordinance in their town limiting the number of animal companions, giving tips on how to veganize recipes, pointing individuals in the right direction to help them handle legal issues, advising residents on how to oppose a deer hunt in their town, offering our vast knowledge, expertise and resources and generally just talking to those who have “tried everyone else, and no one would help.”

APLNJ receives no government funding, yet through our own fundraising efforts, grants from foundations and our members' generosity, we have been advocating for animals since 1983.

APLNJ is dependent upon public support and donations to put a stop to the abuse and exploitation of animals. Please don’t wait any longer. Join us today!

Annual membership is only $20 ($10 for students and seniors) and includes our quarterly newsletter. Additional donations help fund our many programs and campaigns.

Like you, we look forward to the time when all animals will be treated with the respect and consideration they deserve and we are able to "put ourselves out of business." But that day is a ways down the road. Your generosity helps insure that we will be able to remain a voice for the animals in NJ for as long as they need us. Please donate generously. Thank you!
