Network for Animals (NFA) is an animal welfare organization that provides logistical and financial support for related initiatives in various countries.[1][2] Headquartered in the United Kingdom and with offices in the United States and South Africa,[3] the current CEO is co-founder Gloria Davies.[4]

History

[edit]

NFA was founded in 1997 by animal welfare activist Brian Davies, founder of associated organisations the International Fund for Animal Welfare in 1969, and Animal Survival International (formerly Political Animal Lobby) in 1990. On the death of Brian Davies in 2022, his wife Gloria Davies became CEO of the organisation.[4]

Initially focusing on issues related to the dog-meat trade in the Philippines, NFA later expanded to other animal welfare issues in its campaigns. NFA reportedly focuses on providing practical assistance to animals, while Animal Survival International focuses on lobbying for political solutions.[citation needed]

Activity

[edit]

NFA receives no government grants and is funded primarily by direct-mail donations and online appeals.[citation needed] NFA has shared footage of cruelty cases online to highlight cases of animal cruelty,[5][6] and also produced a series of podcasts in 2020 on the topic.[7]

NFA has participated in various projects and advocacy work around the world, including:
