Public Policy

The ASI's Public Policy programs focus on interdisciplinary research designed to increase the prominence of animal issues in public policy.  Our Animals' Platform is a manifesto of proposed policies addressing animal research, agriculture, wildlife and companion animals.

The Policy Papers series discusses issues such as breed bans, animals in disasters, elephants incircuses, dolphin-human interactions and globalization and animals. They are published for government officials, the media, nonprofits, academics, as well as animal advocates.
