Animal Anti-Cruelty League has been campaigning since 1956 to protect all animal life. Working with its member societies, the Animal Anti-Cruelty League has a wide spread animal protection network in South Africa.

With branches around South Africa, the Animal Anti-Cruelty League provides shelter for abandoned animals, promotes an efficient adoption programme, prosecutes animal cruelty cases, runs welfare hospitals for the lower income groups, visits underprivileged areas with fully equipped Mobile Clinics and regularly addresses schools and clubs on the challenges of animal welfare.
