Welcome

Welcome to In Defense of Animals' e-newsletter. Each week we will update you and other dedicated activists on IDA campaign developments. In each issue, you will find a "What you can do" section that will empower you to fight against animal suffering.

We are very excited to provide our members with the latest developments in our campaigns. I hope you will find our weekly e-newsletter effective and useful in your efforts to help animals. I welcome your comments, suggestions and feedback on how we can make this project more effective. Please do not hesitate to write me at mike@idausa.org.
