National Animals and Wildlife Special Interest Groups

Project Vote Smart reports on performance evaluations from all special interest groups who provide them. Descriptions of organizations posted are derived from the mission statement or description produced by each organization. The following list summarizes the years of reporting by these special interest groups on issues affecting Animals and Wildlife. The Sportsmen and Animal Owner's Voting Alliance (SAOVA) works for you as the only group consistently reporting lawmakers’ positions on the animal rightist measures that threaten our sport, avocations and livelihoods.
