Thirty years ago this year, an animal protection lawyer named Steven M. Wise founded the Nonhuman Rights Project. “I had concluded that there was a powerful structural bias in the law against protecting even the most fundamental interests of nonhuman animals,” Steve said. “Every one of them had always been considered a legal thing incapable of possessing any legal rights. I decided this had to change.” A year ago today, Steve died from glioblastoma. The legacy he left is profound, and his vision of a world where nonhuman rights are recognized alongside human rights lives on through everyone who works for and supports the NhRP.
With your support, we are honored to continue the work Steve started.
Thank you so much for being part of this movement.
With hope and resolve,
