About

Paw Protection Alliance seeks to advance animal protection through credible research, public education, legislative awareness, and careful documentation, with a particular commitment to animals raised for food.

PPA has a national outlook, with farmed-animal welfare as a leading priority and an all-species mission. Its first state-level legislative research begins in Missouri, alongside selected federal issues.

Our all-species commitment

PPA covers farmed animals, including cattle, pigs, chickens and other poultry, sheep, goats, and fish, alongside wildlife, birds, marine animals, companion animals, and animals used in research and entertainment.

Research principles

Sources first. Factual statements are published only with a source a reader can check.
Official records for legislation. Bill status and actions come from the official legislative record and show the date we verified them.
Facts separate from commentary. Advocacy opinion is always labeled and kept apart from factual information.
Dated verification. Legislative records show when they were last checked, and research articles display publication and revision dates.
Corrections. Errors are corrected promptly, and articles show their revision date.

Transparency

Paw Protection Alliance is a developing independent initiative. It is not incorporated, is not a registered nonprofit, and does not hold charitable tax-exempt status. "Paw Protection Alliance" is a working name.
