Rational Animal

Rational Animal (http://www.rational-animal.org), is a non-profit grassroots media and PR organization focused on animal awareness.

By engaging the public through a positive approach, we encourage people to make informed decisions about related issues, such as opting to adopt rather than buy a pet, spaying and neutering, and committing to taking care of animals for their entire lifetime. Our projects are focused on prevention, as we see that the public and our own peers are vital to this.

Based in New York City, Rational Animal’s volunteers and supporters have produced two PSA series, three Gimme Shelter Rock & Rescue concerts, over 750 hand-sewn beds for animals at the Brooklyn AC&C through the Mother’s Comfort Project, distributed thousands of orange ribbons for the Orange Ribbon for Animals campaign, and has raised thousands of dollars for area shelters and rescue groups. Our projects have lead to fosterings and adoptions and have helped New Yorkers take action to combat the homeless animal population and increase awareness of humane treatment and responsibility.

We see animal welfare as a cause and a community in which we can all learn from each other to improve our approach to education, awareness, and protection of animals. If you would like to get involved, please email us!
We appreciate the support of our donors, volunteers, and partners. Please donate to help us keep up our work for awareness and education!

Rational Animal (est. 2002 by Susan Brandt) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
