Who We Are
HRC is a team of research and communications professionals who each have strong
personal commitments to animal protection. HRC was formed in early 2000 to
improve conditions for animals by empowering fellow advocates with access to
valid, relevant, and insightful information. Since then, HRC has developed a
comprehensive vision for the use of such research to help animals, and our team
now includes many committed directors, expert advisers, and volunteers.
