  
San Diego Animal Advocates is an all-volunteer, non-profit 501©3 animal rights organization founded in 1984. Our purpose is to educate the public on issues concerning animals, with a focus on problems of captivity, vivisection, and local area wildlife. While we work primarily on matters in our San Diego area, we also coordinate efforts with national animal protection groups and participate in many state-wide and national campaigns.
SDAA is dedicated to eliminating animal abuse, neglect and exploitation through education, community involvement and direct action. Our concept of compassion extends to all animals – domestic and wild, captive and free. We encourage putting a compassionate philosophy into practice in our lives by adopting a vegan diet and using cruelty-free products.
IMPORTANT STATE ASSEMBLY UPDATE
The State Assembly could be considering passage of SB-428 as soon as June 15. They will vote on their own bills before voting on those that came to them from the State Senate.
If SB-428 is NOT passed this legislative session, it will not go into effect in January 2010 with serious negative repercussions for the seals. The City will be forced to go through with a dispersal plan, and it will also have to follow through with the State Court's dredging order. SB-428 would add "marine mammal park for the enjoyment and educational benefit of children” as an additional and legal use to the original 1931 land grant language.
