Imagine a day in the life of our client Jambo. For years, Jambo’s world has been limited to concrete walls, wire fences, and strangers watching her every move. In the wild, elephants roam for miles–socializing, playing, and nurturing bonds that last a lifetime. Yet Jambo—brilliant, sensitive, and deserving of freedom, as all elephants are—has spent her days in an unnatural isolation.
At the NhRP we are on a mission to break through the legal barriers that keep animals like Jambo suffering in confinement. Through groundbreaking litigation and tireless advocacy, we’re working to secure fundamental rights for nonhuman animals, challenging an outdated legal system that sees them as “things” rather than beings with interests that matter.
In honor of Giving Tuesday (December 3rd)–the single biggest giving day of the year–we humbly invite you to join us in our fight for autonomous nonhuman beings like Jambo.
Legal battles take time, and the wheels of justice turn slowly, but we make greater strides in our pursuit of justice when we work together. In the face of an uphill battle, our commitment is steadfast and we will continue to push for progress, where it’s most needed, without pause.
