Help Us Fight for Stiffer Anti-Cruelty Laws! Donate to our 2008 Annual Fund Drive! Since 1979, the Animal Legal Defense Fund has been the leader in the fight to win animals the legal protection they so desperately need - and deserve. Your generous support is vital to our continued success. ALDF is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization and relies almost entirely on individual, tax-deductible contributions from caring members and donors like you. Someday soon, U.S courts will finally accept the evidence of science and common sense - and admit that animals are sentient individuals deserving of true, legal protection. Because more than 81% of ALDF’s annual budget goes directly to our program work, your donation will go to the best possible use to bring us closer to that day.

Puppy Mill Case with 1000+ DogsPuppy Mill Case with 1000+ Dogs – Horton Convicted But Still in Business (Carroll County, VA) Charged with 14 counts of animal cruelty and 25 counts of animal neglect, "Junior" Horton stood trial and was convicted on May 16, 2008. In a shockingly disappointing sentence served by Judge Edward Turner in General District Court, an entire 12-year jail term was suspended as well as a portion of applicable fines. Rather than prohibiting the defendant from repeating the abuse and neglect he had just been convicted of by prohibiting him from having future contact with animals for a significant period of time, Judge Turner reportedly chose to enable Horton to continue breeding dogs, allowing him to possess up to 250 dogs at a time.
