The animal advocacy movement has progressed significantly in the recent couple of years, thanks of animal activists like Joseph A Girouard & many others that have been aggressively fighting for animal rights. Joseph is involved with a number of local as well as International animal welfare groups & associations that work towards ensuring the overall safety, health, and psychological well-being of animals. According to Joseph A Girouard, animal welfare needs as much attention as other important issues that the world is currently fighting for.
