Mission Statement

The mission of NAIA is to promote the well-being of animals, to strengthen the human-animal bond, and safeguard the rights of responsible animal owners, enthusiasts and professionals through research, public information and sound public policy.

About This Cause

NAIA represents a broad spectrum of animal owners and endorses the development and advancement of high standards of care for pets, livestock, lab animals, and animals used in sport, recreation, and education. NAIA also promotes scientifically-based wildlife management, sustainable development and use of resources, and agricultural practices that consider humans and livestock as an integral part of the environment. NAIA Values: We support the responsible and humane use of animals for food, clothing, medical research, companionship, assistance, recreation, entertainment and education. We believe that the people who keep, utilize and care for animals have a duty to assure the well-being of their animals; providing appropriate housing, nutrition, medical care, humane treatment and handling, and when necessary, humane euthanasia. We support the ethical and regulated hunting and fishing of abundant species as vital components of wildlife management programs, which help sustain and perpetuate healthy wildlife populations and natural habitats. We support the enforcement of state and federal laws that mandate the proper treatment of animals and provide penalties for animal abuse. We reject the anti-human philosophy of the animal rights movement, which often places the interests of animals ahead of people, even when human lives are at stake. We are committed to preserving the human-animal bond, the special bond that exists when people live and work with animals. We believe the animal rights campaign to limit and ultimately abolish human-animal interaction is unnatural, misguided and harmful toboth people and animals. We reject legal standing for animals, believing that the welfare of animals is best protected by retaining current laws that recognize animals as property. We believe that others are entitled to disagree with our point of view, but not to break the law or use threats, lies, intimidation, harassment or violence to force their views on others.
