Action for Dolphins

Action for Dolphins (AFD) is a not-for-profit working to end cruelty to, and gain legal protection for, small cetaceans (dolphins and other small whales).
AFD focuses on small cetaceans because these sentient animals do not have adequate legal protection, and are subjected to some of the most extreme cruelty inflicted on animals anywhere in the world.
AFD's primary goal is to bring an end to unregulated and inhumane hunts that kill thousands of small cetaceans annually.
AFD also works to end activities that harm Australia's marine life - such as removing and replacing lethal shark nets and drumlines with humane alternatives - and to end the practice of dolphin and whale captivity.
While AFD began in Australia (and was previously called 'Australia for Dolphins'), dolphins and whales need our help in many countries and, as such, our efforts to protect them are truly global.
