Defenders' mission is to protect species and the habitats upon which they depend. In doing so, we focus on preserving the health of our nation's rich biological heritage (biodiversity). Defenders of Wildlife was founded in 1947 and was originally called Defenders of Fur Bearers. Its primary mission was to preserve wild animals. Although our mission has broadened to include wildlife habitat and biodiversity, protecting wild animals, especially large carnivores, remains a central part of our mission.

PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in laboratories, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry. We also work on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of beavers, birds and other "pests," and the abuse of backyard dogs.
PETA works through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns.
