After a tragic incident occurred with my dog Ruby and the negligence of her vet (see www.rubydogclark.com for story), I sought guidance for steps to take to ensure this does not happen to anyone else or their animal companion. The ALDF's website had information that helped me move forward with filing a complaint against the vet board and identifying the lack of legal rights our animals actually have. It is encouraging to see there is an organization such as ALDF to assist consumers with knowledge about animal rights or lack there of and to provide guidance on what steps and actions can be taken by consumers to make the world a better place for our animals.
